The actor, currently prepping for his upcoming action thriller King, arrived on the red carpet in a sleek all-black outfit paired with a grey hairdo, looking every bit the style icon. Photos and videos from the event flooded social media, with fans gushing over his charismatic look.

However,

it was a clip from inside the award ceremony that really stole the spotlight. As Shah Rukh took the stage to deliver his speech, the camera panned across the audience and caught Hande Ercel beaming as she pulled out her phone to capture the moment. Her delighted smile and excited gestures immediately drew attention, with fans dubbing the clip “cute,” “wholesome,” and “pure fangirl energy.” The video quickly circulated on SRK fan pages, delighting audiences worldwide.

Hande Ercel herself later shared the video on her social media handle, further fueling the buzz.

While Shah Rukh and Hande haven’t shared a project together, Bollywood has long been on the Turkish actress’s radar. She was reportedly considered for Salman Khan’s Tiger 3, some portions of which were shot in Turkey, though she didn’t feature in the final cast. During a recent visit to India, she openly expressed her interest in acting in Bollywood films and working alongside stars like Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh continues to keep busy ahead of the release of King. The spy thriller, directed by Siddharth Anand, has been teasing fans with cryptic social media posts, sparking speculation about new promotional material or even an official release date. The film, which also features Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Abhishek Bachchan, is reportedly aiming for a September 2026 release, though official confirmation is still pending.
