Shah Rukh Khan, known for his infectious charm and unwavering dedication to his fans, opted for a more private arrival this time. Perhaps still basking in the afterglow of a year that saw him deliver three blockbuster hits – Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki – SRK chose to shield himself from the usual media frenzy. Spotted at the Kalina Airport in Mumbai, the 58-year-old actor kept a low profile, his signature tousled hair hidden under an oversized black hoodie. He shielded his face further with his hands as he navigated the throngs of paparazzi gathered to capture his return.
