Actor Shah Rukh Khan and Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma recently crossed paths at the United in Triumph event held in Mumbai, and their interaction has since taken social media by storm. Several videos
and pictures from the event, which took place on Monday, show the two icons seated next to each other and engaged in an animated conversation.
In one of the widely shared clips, Shah Rukh is seen asking Rohit something as they sit side by side. Rohit appears to respond at length, with Shah Rukh listening attentively and nodding along. The video ends with Shah Rukh clapping, seemingly in appreciation of what Rohit had said. For the event, Shah Rukh opted for a sleek black shirt paired with a matching blazer and trousers, completing his look with a beanie.
