Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan isn’t just a mega star in India but also has massive fandom globally.

In a video from the same incident, Shah Rukh Khan could be seen sitting on the left side of the couch at the beginning. But as the conversation progressed, the actor leaned towards the singer and got closer to her.
While Shah Rukh insisted Lady Gaga to accept his wristwatch as a gift, the latter looked so much uncomfortable and even told him to give it to one of his fans. It was quite shocking for netizens to see this version of Shah Rukh, and as the video of the incident made its way to the internet, several people started mocking the actor.
One Reddit user blamed Shah Rukh Khan for trying too hard to impress Lady Gaga, and his/her comment on the video could be read as “Bollywood and everyone associated with it are cheap trash. Lady Gaga was definitely not comfortable.” Another user slammed Shah Rukh for not coming prepared and thinking that the iconic singer would get impressed just like his female co-stars in Bollywood. The nasty comment could be read as “Clearly he did not came prepared. Or maybe he thought he will jury-rig it like he does to his Bullywud gals. But it didn't worked.”
