Shah Rukh Khan shared a story about meeting a frantic fan at the London airport while rushing to Mumbai to be with his wife, Gauri, after her miscarriage. He was filming “Pardes” in Vegas when he got the news. Alone and in a hurry, he took a Concorde from LA to New York to London. Desperate to catch his connecting flight, he dashed through the airport. A lady mistook him for Akshay Kumar and chased him. Despite the chaos, he managed to make it to the plane. It was a frantic moment in the midst of a personal tragedy.
Shah Rukh Khan recalled how the persistent fan kept chasing him for an autograph or photo despite his rush. He got irritated and told her he was in a hurry to catch a flight, but she didn’t stop. Finally, after checking in, he stopped to take photos and sign autographs for her. She confessed she was a big fan and then mistakenly called him “Akshay.” Despite the mix-up, Shah Rukh graciously obliged her request. It was a moment of humor in an otherwise frantic situation at the airport.
Celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan sometimes face awkward situations, even during tough times. Despite this, Shah Rukh remains a gentleman, always making time for fans who meet him unexpectedly. He graciously poses for photos and signs autographs. However, celebrities are human too, and such mix-ups can happen. Shah Rukh isn’t the only one mistaken for Akshay Kumar; recently, even Ranbir Kapoor faced the same confusion from young fans. Akshay Kumar’s popularity spans decades, making such mix-ups understandable in the frenzy of celebrity encounters.
