SRK's Heartfelt Praise for Saudi Arabia
Shah Rukh Khan shared warm sentiments about his visit to Saudi Arabia. He remarked on the growth and beauty of the country since his first trips. The actor highlighted his appreciation for the local culture, people, and cuisine. SRK specifically mentioned his desire to return for a holiday rather than work, recalling a previous 12-day film shoot in the region.
The Bollywood star also reacted to the overwhelming love from his Saudi fans. He described the response as outstanding and heartening. SRK noted the respectful and dignified nature of the reception, emphasizing the warmth and hospitality he experienced.
Star-Studded Event and Fashion Statement
The Joy Awards 2026 featured a glittering array of international celebrities. Attendees included Millie Bobby Brown, Katy Perry, and 'Squid Game' stars Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun. Shah Rukh Khan chose a sleek all-black ensemble for the occasion, wearing a black blazer with matching trousers.
SRK also shared a friendly exchange with Turki Alalshikh, chairperson of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority. He congratulated Alalshikh on five successful years of the Joy Awards, praising the spectacular and grand nature of the function.
Teasing the Upcoming Film 'King'
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is set to appear in Siddharth Anand's upcoming film 'King'. The movie is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures. A teaser released on SRK's 60th birthday last year offered a glimpse into this new project.
The teaser presents a darker and more intense version of Khan than audiences have seen before. Sporting silver hair and sharp expressions, the actor embodies a ruthless and enigmatic persona. One chilling dialogue from the teaser has already captured significant attention.
A subtle detail in the video shows Khan holding a "King of Hearts" card, nodding to his long-standing title as the "King of Hearts". The teaser concludes with the actor delivering a powerful line about fear. Reports suggest the film will feature SRK's daughter Suhana, though further cast details and the release date remain under wraps.
