Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently made headlines when he visited Mumbai’s iconic Lalbaugcha Raja pandal to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesha. Accompanied by his wife Gauri Khan, daughter Suhana Khan, and his long-time manager Pooja Dadlani, the Pathaan star’s visit quickly became the talk of the town.
While videos of the actor fiercely protecting his family from the massive crowd went viral, another specific, candid moment from the visit has captured the internet’s attention. A clip showing SRK casually using his manager Pooja Dadlani’s dupatta to wipe his face has sparked a flurry of amusing reactions and a hilarious debate among netizens!
The Viral Dupatta Moment
Navigating the sea of devotees at Lalbaugcha Raja is no easy feat, even for the ‘King of Bollywood.’ After offering his prayers, performing the aarti, and receiving the traditional vermilion (tilak) on his forehead, Shah Rukh was seen making his way through the heavily crowded and humid pandal.
In a candid video captured by the paparazzi, a visibly sweating SRK is seen reaching out and casually grabbing a portion of his manager Pooja Dadlani’s dupatta to wipe the sweat and vermilion off his face. Pooja, who was walking closely beside him, appeared completely unfazed by the gesture, highlighting the deep comfort level and familial bond the two share.
‘Apni Wife Ka Kyun Nahi?’: Netizens React
As soon as the video hit social media platforms, eagle-eyed netizens were quick to flood the comment sections with a mix of amusement and curiosity. Since Shah Rukh’s wife, Gauri Khan, was walking just a few steps away, many fans hilariously questioned why the superstar chose to use his manager’s dupatta instead of his wife’s.
One user playfully commented, “Apni wife Gauri Khan ka kyun nahi use kiya? Wo bhi toh traditional pehni thi!” (Why didn’t he use his wife Gauri Khan’s? She was also wearing traditional clothes!). Another user joked, “Only Shah Rukh Khan can get away with wiping his face with his manager’s clothes in front of his wife.”
Others, however, were quick to defend the actor and praise the sweet gesture. Fans pointed out that in a crowded, high-security situation, it was simply a subconscious reflex to reach out to the person walking closest to him.
A Bond Beyond Professionalism
For the unversed, Pooja Dadlani is far more than just a celebrity manager. Having managed Shah Rukh Khan’s professional and personal affairs for over a decade, she has become an integral part of his inner circle and extended family.
Pooja is frequently spotted by SRK’s side during public appearances, international shoots, and personal family crises, proving her unwavering loyalty. Fans were quick to note that the dupatta incident merely reflects the immense trust, comfort, and sibling-like bond they share behind the scenes.
With SRK currently gearing up for his highly anticipated action-thriller King alongside his daughter Suhana Khan, fans are always eager to catch these rare, unscripted glimpses into the superstar’s real life!
