When SRK shared a hilarious encounter with a fan: I'm not Akshay Kumar
Mumbai, June 28
Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most well-known Indian celebrities across the globe. But did you know that he was also once mistaken for another Bollywood actor.
During his appearance on filmmaker Sajid Khan's talk show "Yaaron Ki Baraat", King Khan shared a hilarious and awkward encounter with a fan.
SRK shared that during the shoot of his movie "Pardes" he was returning from New York and was in a lot of hurry to reach home as unfortunately his wife, Gauri Khan, had suffered a miscarriage.
"I was running in a hurry, and amidst all this, the handle of my bag also broke. I was absolutely confused.
Shah Rukh recalled that a lady was running after him at the terminal.
"Please one photograph, one autograph".
While SRK got upset as he was in a hurry, once he had checked in, he finally called the lady.
"I am a big fan of yours", she screamed.
"Its okay mam", SRK replied.
However, what she said next, left the King Khan both confused and embarrassed.
"Offf, Akshay I love you".
She has mistaken him for Akshay Kumar.
On the professional front, up next, Shah Rukh will soon be seen in the highly talked about drama "King", which is being made under the direction of Siddharth Anand.
In January this year, the makers confirmed that "King" will "roar" in the theatres on December 24, 2026.
The gripping announcement video opened with the bold title 'ROAR' set against a dramatic backdrop. After this comes an impactful line, "This Christmas, fear wears the crown," pointing towards the film's larger-than-life scale.
On Shah Rukh's 60th birthday in November last year, the makers of "King" revealed the title video featuring SRK as a ruthless mercenary who has even lost count of how many people he has killed, and doesn't even know if they were good or bad.

To be fair, if you're running in a hurry at an airport and some lady is chasing you, it's understandable to be annoyed. But SRK still took time to talk to her - that's real star quality. And the Akshay mix-up is pure comedy gold! 😂
Honestly, I think this story is sweet but also shows how chaotic fandom can be. The lady was so excited she literally saw what she wanted to see. But SRK's reaction - calling her back even when upset - that's what true superstars are made of. Balidan! ❤️
Loved the bit about Pardes shooting! 😄 Also, 2026 for King? That's far but knowing SRK, it'll be worth the wait. The title 'King' with that tagline 'Fear wears the crown' - chills! Just hope his character doesn't become too dark, I miss his romantic roles too.
Lol, imagine being SRK, stressed and rushing home, and someone screams "Akshay I love you!" 🤣 That's some next-level confusion. But kudos to him for being a sport about it. On a serious note, the miscarriage story is heartbreaking. Shows stars have struggles too. King Khan forever!
This is why I love SRK - he can turn an embarrassing moment into a funny story. But honestly, the lady should have checked properly. Akshay and SRK look completely different! Still, heartwarming that he shared this on a talk show. Also, excited
