I will make the booking, you pay me later. For anywhere else, I wouldn't do this. But anything for @iamsrk. And he did! #SRK is (crown emoji)."

A person also said, "Aww this is soo sweet. Thanks for sharing with us! I have friends from France on Discord. When I mentioned I am from India, they were so excited lol. They went, ‘India!? We only know SRK’. And they LOVE Chammak Challo song so much even tho they don't understand any bit."

“Yes, as you wander around Egypt you will find people asking you ‘Indian?’. Then ‘Amitabh Bachchan’, ‘SRK’ or ‘SK’. That makes you smile! Friendly guys especially to Indians. Beautiful country! Enjoy your trip!" added another person. A person also tweeted, "When I visited Egypt 20 years back, Amitabh Bachchan was ubiquitous. Amongst millennials, SRK is supreme when I meet folks in Dubai."
