After his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), rolled into the IPL final, defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Tuesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, superstar Shah Rukh Khan was on cloud nine. While taking a victory lap with his kids, AbRam and Suhana, he inadvertently interrupted the cricket show.
In the video clip that quickly went viral, Shah Rukh Khan waves to the audience, unaware that former cricket players Suresh Raina, Parthiv Patel, and Aakash Chopra were shooting a live video. The actor walks straight into the frame, then laughs sheepishly and folds his hands in apology, while Suhana quickly recognises the trio and moves to the side with AbRam.

Amidst Suhana and SRK’s team’s laughter, the actor can be seen hugging the three cricket players and apologising to the fans watching the show.
“Oh, what a man! Legend! He did not even realise that he walked into the show. He apologised, but I said, ‘You made our day. You are the showstopper’,” said Aakash Chopra, a former Indian cricket player.
The internet went into a meltdown over this incident, with comments like “KING OF INDIAN CINEMA” and “He is an absolute legend” posted online.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “He is evergreen.”
Another user said, “Bazigar kabhi beech me nhi ata…”.
A third person posted, “Srk 💙,” while another netizen wrote, “absolutely love this 💜☔️”.
