The world of cinema is often filled with rumors and speculations, and the latest buzz revolves around Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. For days, social media has been abuzz with reports that a Turkish actress referred to the King of Bollywood as “Uncle.” But is there any truth to this claim? Let’s delve into the story.
The recent Joy Awards ceremony in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, witnessed a star-studded gathering including Hollywood celebrities like Katie Perry and Millie Bobby Brown, alongside Bollywood’s very own Shah Rukh Khan. Turkish actress Hande Erçel also graced the event, and she was seen presenting awards alongside her friend and fellow actress Amina Khalil. Hande captured this moment on her phone, sharing it widely, which sparked a wave of excitement among fans who learned that she is a huge admirer of Shah Rukh Khan.
However, amidst the excitement, a new post emerged online that caught everyone’s attention. In this post, Hande was seen indicating that she had only filmed her friend and not Shah Rukh Khan. The caption accompanying the video reportedly read, “Who is this Uncle?” This statement led to a flurry of confusion among fans and netizens alike, as many questioned how an actress could refer to such a legendary figure in such a casual manner. Some were outraged, while others found the humor in the situation.
As the viral screenshot circulated on Instagram, it became increasingly clear that many were taking the comment out of context. Hande later clarified that the screenshot was fake, putting to rest any doubts regarding her admiration for Shah Rukh Khan. Fans were relieved to hear that she had not labeled him as “Uncle,” but the incident stirred enough debate to keep the story alive for a little longer.
Despite the distractions of social media, Shah Rukh Khan remains focused on his upcoming film “King,” where he stars alongside Bollywood leading lady Deepika Padukone. Meanwhile, Hande Erçel has made a name for herself in Turkish cinema with projects like “Intoxicated by Love” and “Chasing the Wind.” Before her film career took off, she was also well-known for her roles in various television series. Hande has expressed her willingness to venture into Bollywood if the opportunity arises.
This incident serves as a reminder of the power of social media and the quickness with which rumors can spread. While the initial claim has been debunked, it has certainly entertained fans and provided a glimpse into the dynamics of celebrity interactions. As both stars continue to thrive in their respective industries, their fans will undoubtedly keep an eye on any future collaborations or interactions.
