In a rare and star-studded moment, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan met football legend Lionel Messi on Saturday in Kolkata, marking one of the most-awaited encounters during the GOAT India Tour 2025.
The Argentine superstar, who is in the city as part of his pan-India tour, was present at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (Salt Lake Stadium) where he interacted with fans, signed autographs, and posed for photographs with Mohun Bagan and Diamond Harbour players, as well as several dignitaries and delegates.
Shah Rukh Khan, known for his charm and elegance, was seen dressed in a pristine all-white ensemble, exuding his signature charisma as he briefly interacted with Messi, shook hands, and clicked pictures.
The meeting was made even more special as SRK’s son, AbRam, also shared the joyous moment with the celebrated sportsman. The father-son duo were all smiles as they posed for pictures with Messi, which quickly went viral on social media.
Earlier, SRK and AbRam arrived at the Kolkata airport.
In one of the clips shared by fans across social media, the ‘Pathaan’ star could be seen making an exit from the airport, exuding his usual swag and charm. SRK also made sure to oblige his fans with a quick wave before leaving the premises.
SRK, who co-owns the KKR team in IPL, previously confirmed his presence at the Kolkata leg of Messi’s GOAT Tour 2025.
‘This time round, not planning my Knight in Kolkata…. and hoping the day Ride is completely ‘Messi’. See you guys on the 13th at the Salt Lake Stadium,’ SRK posted. (ANI)
