Shah Rukh Khan recently encountered a chaotic scene at Mumbai Airport when an overexcited crowd of fans surrounded him. The incident occurred early Thursday (September 26) morning as the Bollywood superstar was en route to Abu Dhabi for the IIFA Awards 2024.
A video capturing the event has since gone viral, showing the frenzy as Shah Rukh Khan attempted to make his way through the airport.
In the footage, Shah Rukh, dressed in casual black attire and sunglasses, can be seen visibly uncomfortable as the crowd surged toward him. Female fans screamed, and many attempted to get closer to the actor, resulting in considerable pushing and shoving.
Despite being surrounded by bodyguards and airport security personnel, the situation quickly spiraled out of control. At one point, the crowd’s pressure caused Shah Rukh to lose his balance momentarily.
However, he remained calm and composed throughout, managing to maintain his signature grace amid the chaos.
The viral video has stirred widespread reactions on social media. While many expressed concern over Shah Rukh’s safety, others criticized the fans' behavior, pointing out the lack of respect for personal space.
The footage clearly shows how the situation became nearly unmanageable despite the presence of security, raising questions about how such public appearances are handled for celebrities.
Shah Rukh Khan’s fans are known for their passionate admiration, but this incident has sparked discussions about the importance of boundaries between fan enthusiasm and respect for personal space.
