Shah Rukh Khan visited Mumbai’s famous Lalbaugcha Raja pandal on September 21 during the ongoing Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. The superstar arrived with his wife Gauri Khan, daughter Suhana Khan and longtime manager Pooja Dadlani.
The family participated in the evening aarti and sought blessings from Lord Ganesha. Shah Rukh was dressed in a blue traditional kurta, while Gauri wore a yellow ethnic outfit and Suhana opted for a green traditional ensemble.
Videos from the visit quickly surfaced online, showing the family making their way through the crowded pandal under heavy security. Among the several moments captured on camera, one involving Shah Rukh and Pooja Dadlani particularly caught the attention of social media users.
Shah Rukh Khan Uses Pooja Dadlani’s Dupatta
A viral video from Lalbaugcha Raja shows Shah Rukh Khan appearing to wipe sweat from his face with Pooja Dadlani’s dupatta. The moment happened while the actor was inside the crowded pandal, where the heat and large gathering appeared to make the situation uncomfortable.
The brief gesture quickly became a talking point online. Pooja was standing close to Shah Rukh, Gauri and Suhana during the visit, and the video captured the spontaneous moment between the actor and his manager.
Several reports have noted that Pooja herself appeared to offer the dupatta to Shah Rukh, with some social media users describing the interaction as a simple and friendly moment.
Internet Reacts to Shah Rukh and Pooja’s Bond
Once the video started circulating, social media users shared different reactions to the moment.
Some fans described the interaction as cute and highlighted the long-standing bond between Shah Rukh Khan and Pooja Dadlani. A section of users referred to Pooja as someone who has been closely associated with the actor and his family for years.
Others questioned why Shah Rukh used Pooja’s dupatta when Gauri Khan and Suhana Khan were standing nearby. The discussion remained focused on the small gesture captured in the viral video.
At the same time, other users defended the actor and suggested that there was nothing unusual about accepting a piece of cloth from someone standing next to him, particularly in a crowded and warm environment.
Pooja Dadlani Has Been With Shah Rukh for Years
Pooja Dadlani is one of the most recognisable members of Shah Rukh Khan’s professional team. She has worked closely with the actor for several years and is frequently seen accompanying him at public appearances and important events.
Her presence at Lalbaugcha Raja was therefore not unexpected. She was seen walking with Shah Rukh and his family as they made their way through the pandal.
The viral video has once again brought attention to the close working relationship between the superstar and his manager. While fans often see celebrities on screen or at public events, moments like these can offer a glimpse into the people who regularly accompany them behind the scenes.
Shah Rukh, Gauri and Suhana Participate in Aarti
The dupatta moment was not the only part of Shah Rukh’s Lalbaugcha Raja visit that attracted attention.
The actor, along with Gauri and Suhana, participated in the evening aarti and offered prayers. Videos showed the family standing together inside the pandal as they sought blessings.
Another video from the visit captured a protective family moment involving Suhana. After the darshan, vermilion appeared on her face, and Gauri was seen helping her clean it. Shah Rukh also attended to his daughter and helped wipe the vermilion from her face.
These moments gave fans a glimpse of the family’s participation in the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Simple Ganpati Celebration
Shah Rukh has previously spoken about how his family celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi at home. During an AskSRK interaction on social media, he described the celebrations as simple family time, with his wife performing the aarti and prayers before the family and friends gather together.
His visit to Lalbaugcha Raja was another public appearance during the festival. The actor has regularly participated in Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai, and his presence at the famous pandal once again attracted significant public attention.
The Lalbaugcha Raja visit also showed Shah Rukh interacting with the people around him despite the heavy security arrangements.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Upcoming Film King
On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan is preparing for the release of King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the action film features Shah Rukh alongside Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat and other actors.
King is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 24, 2026. The film is also attracting attention because it marks Shah Rukh and Suhana’s first theatrical collaboration as co-stars.
For now, however, Shah Rukh’s Lalbaugcha Raja appearance is dominating social media conversations. From his family’s traditional outfits to the aarti and the viral moment involving Pooja Dadlani’s dupatta, the visit has provided fans with several memorable glimpses of the superstar away from the film set.
