Shah Rukh Khan recently attended the 77th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, where he was honored with the prestigious Pardo Alla Carriera award, celebrating his outstanding contributions to Indian cinema. While fans have been buzzing about the viral photos and videos from the event, a particular video has sparked controversy and backlash on social media.
The video, now circulating widely on X (formerly Twitter), shows Shah Rukh Khan, dressed impeccably in black, walking the red carpet.
However, what caught people’s attention was a moment where he is seen allegedly ‘pushing’ an elderly man who was walking behind him.
This action has not gone down well with some netizens, who have criticized the actor for his behavior. Comments like “#ShahRukhKhan he pushed that old man!!! Shame on you” and “Always knew he is not a nice person, he just pretends to be” have surfaced online.
