Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan has consistently maintained a reputation for being one of the most respectful individuals in the industry.

Hina Khan reminisced about the time she first crossed paths with the 'King of Bollywood'. At the time, she was relatively new to the industry, having been in the limelight for about a year and a half following her stint on Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. "I saw him sitting next to me on a flight," Hina recalled. "I was so anxious to get a photo, but he was fast asleep."

The Exhausted Superstar

According to Hina, the superstar was in the midst of an intense promotional schedule and was visibly drained. "He hadn’t slept for days," she noted. Despite his exhaustion, SRK's response to her request for a photograph was nothing short of professional and kind. After a brief coffee break, he promised to take a photo, and even after landing, he proactively sought her out to fulfill his word.

Shah Rukh Khan's ability to remain grounded despite global superstardom is a masterclass in professional etiquette.

Adding to the sentiment, Abhinav Shukla shared a story from his early modeling days in Mumbai. He recalled meeting SRK backstage at a watch brand's ramp show.
