The glamorous world of Bollywood collided with the sporting excellence of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Saturday, as luminaries Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor gathered at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre for the 141st IOC Session. The star-studded event went viral on social media, with videos and photos documenting every moment.

Shah Rukh Khan, the 'King of Bollywood,' was spotted sitting next to the elegant Deepika Padukone, with Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor just behind them. The internet, particularly Reddit, couldn't help but speculate about a candid photo from the event that appeared to show Alia Bhatt in a state of repose.

Shah Rukh Khan cut a striking figure in a sharp black suit, engrossed in conversation with Deepika Padukone, who exuded boss lady vibes in her grey pantsuit, in the image that's currently making the rounds on social media. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were also photographed in ethnic attire, alongside the charismatic duo of Deepika and Shah Rukh.

Reddit users wasted no time in sharing their views on the photograph. One commented, "Everyone seems bored... Alia is literally asleep... Don't blame her; I would be too. Shah Rukh and Deepika are nailing the professional 'I don't care' look". Another jestingly added, "Alia appears to be sleeping without a care in the world, Ranbir, a true backbencher, seems lost in his phone, Shah Rukh is pretending to be attentive, but his mind is probably wandering elsewhere, while Deepika gives off serious Hermione Granger vibes (Emma Watson's character from Harry Potter)". 

Another Reddit user chimed in, "This is a meme template waiting to happen." In praise of Deepika Padukone, someone wrote, "I have to say, DP always maintains a straight face. I've never seen her make weird expressions, even when she's not in front of the camera. Prim and proper".

The IOC Event: 

The event's high point was Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech at the 141st International Olympic Committee (IOC) session in Mumbai. This session is crucial for IOC members because it is where critical decisions about the future of the Olympic Games are debated and made. India hosted the IOC session for the second time in history, closing a 40-year gap since the previous event in New Delhi in 1983. The event exemplified the convergence of entertainment and sports, demonstrating the importance of both in the nation's cultural fabric.
