Shah Rukh Khan added another victory to his list of accomplishments at the 77th Locarno Film Festival. The actor became the first Indian celebrity to receive the Pardo alla Carriera, or Career Leopard, as a lifetime achievement award on Saturday. On X (formerly Twitter), SRK's red carpet video has become viral due to claims that he pushed someone while posing for solo photos.
Shah Rukh Khan pushed an old man on the red carpet?
Shah Rukh was recorded on the Locarno Film Festival red carpet on Saturday, moving towards a man who was standing close to the photographers on one side. The actor seemed to have "pushed" the person in question to get him out of the picture.
Sharing the video, an X user said, "He pushed that old man!!! Shame on you, Shah Rukh Khan."
Netizens react to viral video
One user said, "Always knew he (Shah Rukh) is not a nice person, he tries to pretend to be..." Another tweeted, "Thats one of his old friends. Now try spreading negativity lol.” A comment read, “Shame on you corporate booking star.” Another read, “but why?? I am sure there is some catch here.”
Several photos from the festival started making the rounds on the internet, showcasing Shah Rukh Khan's everlasting charisma, which left the audience in awe. But Shah Rukh's speech, which was continuously cheered was the best moment.
"It's a very beautiful, very cultural, very artistic, and extremely hot city of Locarno... so many people stuffed up in a little square and so hot. It's just like being home in India," he said.
This is the 77th edition of the Locarno Film Festival.
