Their camaraderie was evident not just in the photos but also in viral videos from the night. In one standout clip, they danced to 'Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam' from Shah Rukh’s film 'Duplicate', which was also featured in Vicky's recent film 'Bad Newz'. The fun continued as they grooved to 'Oo Oo Antava' from 'Pushpa', much to the audience's delight.
In another viral moment from the event, Shah Rukh playfully mimicked Vicky's hook step from a popular track. After finishing the dance, SRK thanked the audience, while Vicky continued lip-syncing and dancing. In a lighthearted gesture, SRK walked over and jokingly covered Vicky’s mouth, telling him to stop, leaving the audience in fits of laughter.
Fans flooded Vicky’s post with love. One comment read, “Didn’t know we needed this bromance so badly.” Another fan wrote, “Someone please cast them in a movie together ASAP.” A third commented, “What a beautiful post. Two brilliant actors in the same frame, both epitomes of humbleness.”
