Dressed in a black T-shirt and blue jeans and unkempt hair, Shah Rukh looked as charming as always. Also, what’s worth appreciating is his beautiful home. The Québec Government Office in Mumbai, while sharing a photo of the consul and SRK, wrote, “A beautiful evening with @iamsrk at his home with some representatives of the Mumbai consular corps. The Bollywood superstar discussed the Quebec #cinéma and its ultra modern #studios. Thank you very much Shah Rukh Khan for this invitation! #film #Cinema #VFX #Quebec.”

Trade commissioner for South Asia and deputy high commissioner for Western India Alan Gemmel also thanked SRK for meeting everyone. He also shared that they spoke about him shooting Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in Scotland.
The high-profile get-together came two days after Shah Rukh Khan greeted his fans on Eid. Standing atop the balcony of his house, SRK waved at hundreds of fans who stood outside Mannat. As he thanked them with folded hands, SRK blew kisses at them before striking his signature outstretched arms pose. He also clicked a couple of selfies with the crowd. Sharing the photos, the star posted, “How lovely to meet you all on Eid…. May Allah bless you with love, happiness and may the best of your past be the worst of your future. Eid Mubarak!”
Shah Rukh Khan will be back in cinema halls with Pathaan in January next year. He also recently announced Dunki, his new film with director Rajkumar Hirani, which will be released in December 2023.
