At the gate, the official, smiling, checked his documents. He then asked Shah Rukh to take off his "goggles", which the actor immediately did.

Fans hail ‘king’

Reacting to the video, a fan said, "He is king for a reason. He did as he was asked to do. And also made the person's day." A person wrote, "The CISF official did his job even if it was one of the biggest celebrities in front of him. That's commendable." "This is adorable! Big praise for both of them," a comment read. An Instagram user said, "He immediately obliges and agrees to the CISF official. No tantrum."

As per Gulf News, he travelled to Dubai as he will be honoured with the Global Style Icon award at the Dubai Mall Global Fashion Awards. It is scheduled to take place from January 29-30 at the Dubai Mall Festival of Fashion.
