In response to a light-hearted comment by Shah Rukh Khan during the 77th Locarno Film Festival held in Switzerland where he won an honorary Pardo alla Carriera (Career Leopard) award, Google India made a statement last week. On the occasion, SRK who is known for humour said “For those who don’t know me, leave, Google me and then come back”. And he introduced himself jokingly as “I am Shah Rukh Khan. I work in Indian films, mostly Hindi.”
Google India then went on (formerly Twitter) to join in with a post featuring Shah Rukh Khan and a crown emoji to honor Bollywood’s “King Khan.”
SRK also cracked a joke about the weight of this award during his acceptance speech that brought laughter from those who were present at that function. Despite being hot, he shared his excitement about being in Locarno which he described as "a beautiful, cultural artistic and extremely hot city with so many people crammed into a small square" like Mumbai.
Shah Rukh Khan will appear next in Sujoy Ghosh's upcoming film King alongside Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan.
