Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji have worked together in several Bollywood films and have given fans millions of memories to cherish. Both SRK and Rani bagged their first-ever National Awards today, on September 23, in a special ceremony organised in Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi.
Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji arrived at the event together and sat in each other's company. While Rani was heading towards her seat, King Khan demonstrated his courtesy by holding her pallu in his hand so that her beautiful saree wouldn't get caught under his foot, allowing her to walk freely.

A social media user commented, “Pure Gentleman”. Another fan appreciated Rani Mukerji's looks and wrote, “She is looking so stunning and beautiful (with a red rose emoticon).” A third social media user remarked, “Ek hi to dil hai kitni baar jeetoge SRK babu.” Another one wrote, “The King for a reason (with three red heart emoticons).” In the viral video, Karan Johar can also be seen while talking to someone.
