One of the social media users wrote, "Always knew he is not a nice person he try to pretend to." The second one said, "Indeed, it was not a playful behaviour but SRK's arrogance! What if the old man did the same with srk?" The third person commented, "He pushed that old man!!! Shame on you, Shah Rukh Khan."

Meanwhile, his fans defended him, one of them wrote, "King (Shah Rukh) having fun times." The second one said, "Yes. That guy is his old friend."

Star Shah Rukh Khan added another achievement to his illustrious career. On August 10, he became the first Indian personality to be honoured with a lifetime achievement award, the so-called Pardo alla Carriera, or Career Leopard at the 77th edition of the Locarno Film Festival.

Like always, King Khan left the audience in awe with his everlasting charm. Several visuals from the festival surfaced online in which SRK can be seen making the crowd go crazy with his presence.

The main highlight was surely his speech, which drew constant cheers and other ecstatic reactions. The Instagram handle of the Locarno Film Festival is flooded with pictures and videos of SRK from the festival.

As per Variety, SRK began by acknowledging the warm reception he received. "Thank you all for welcoming me with such wide arms - wider than the ones I do on screen," he quipped, referencing his famous open-armed pose. He went on to praise the festival's location. "It's a very beautiful, very cultural, very artistic, and extremely hot city of Locarno," he remarked, adding with a grin, "So many people stuffed up in a little square and so hot. It's just like being home in India."
