Shah Rukh Khan recently got a chance to meet the esteemed scientists of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) at an event. On the occasion of the CNN-News18 Indian of the Year 2023 event held on Wednesday, they not only engaged in interaction but also posed together on stage for photographs.
A video capturing their interaction has now emerged, and it has garnered widespread praise for Shah Rukh Khan’s thoughtful gesture. In particular, the Don actor confirmed that Palanivel Veeramuthuvel, a respected ISRO scientist and project director of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, was not left in the background during the group photos. This act of inclusion and consideration has earned praise from many who appreciate Khan’s attention and efforts in ensuring equal visibility for all individuals involved.
A person shared a clip of the event on Reddit and wrote, “This humble act of Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) went unnoticed. An ISRO scientist was offering his place to him (SRK) during the group photograph and was going to stand somewhere else as he was too nervous in front of him. But SRK pulled him back to stand alongside him. What a man.”
Reacting to the clip, a person wrote, “The ISRO scientist you are referring to is Mr. Palanivel Veeramuthuvel, Chandrayaan-3 mission director. Yes nice gesture from SRK.”
Praising the actor, another fan wrote, “Anyway, he cares about people outside his home who are killing his fans. And that’s rare these days…”‘
