Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan was recently seen at Mumbai Airport in the early hours of Thursday, preparing to leave for an undisclosed destination, when a video of him at a routine security check quickly went viral on social media.
In the clip, the security personnel at the checkpoint politely asks Shah Rukh to remove his sunglasses as part of the standard verification process. Without any resistance, the actor immediately lifted off his glasses and complied with the request, standing calmly and waiting while the security official completed the rest of the procedure.
What caught the attention of netizens was Shah Rukh’s composed and respectful behavior throughout. After taking off his sunglasses, he was seen smiling warmly at the official as the check continued. In a light-hearted moment, he even gave the security staffer a friendly pat on the back before moving on.
The video struck a chord with fans online, many of whom praised the superstar for his humility and for following airport rules like everyone else — rather than expecting special treatment due to his immense fame. Comments shared on social media included sentiments such as, “Very good, all citizens should be treated the same,” and another user writing, “Yeah that’s good at least SRK is humble not like others who would probably be like I’m a star.”
Another fan chimed in, stating simply, “There is a protocol everyone has to abide and appreciate that.” Amid the praise, people also noted Shah Rukh’s grounded nature despite his career achievements and superstar status.
On the professional front, the actor is set to appear in King, a film featuring Suhana Khan, Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, and Abhishek Bachchan, slated for release on December 24, 2026.
