Anushka Sen, the talented 21-year-old actress, has made quite a name for herself in the Indian entertainment industry. From music videos to her foray into the Korean entertainment world, she has achieved commendable success at a young age. However, what truly stands out is her encounters with the legendary Shah Rukh Khan, both in 2013 and 2024. Shah Rukh Khan’s blessings work for real, says Anushka Sen.
Shah Rukh Khan’s blessings
Anushka Sen’s first brush with the King of Bollywood happened back in 2013. She was hosting a red carpet event, and there’s a delightful picture of her holding up her microphone, completely starstruck as she interviewed Shah Rukh Khan. Imagine being face-to-face with your favourite actor! Anushka recalls that moment fondly, saying, “I was staring at him because he was giving me an interview, and I was hosting.”
Fast forward to 2024, and Anushka found herself on a flight to Dubai for the UN Cop 28 event, where she was set to perform. It was a significant day for her, and the excitement was palpable. She was in business class, and Shah Rukh Khan was seated in first class. The air hostess informed her that she could move to first class to exit quickly upon landing. And there he was—Shah Rukh Sir! Anushka couldn’t believe her eyes. She recounts the moment: “I just saw to my right, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s Shah Rukh Sir.’ He is my favourite person, and you learn so much from him as well.”
Anushka wasted no time and greeted him: “Shah Rukh Sir, hi! I’m such a huge fan of you.” The actor, known for his humility, engaged in conversation. But it wasn’t just a casual chat; it was a reunion after a decade.
Anushka showed Shah Rukh Khan the iconic picture from their first encounter—the one where she held her mic, starstruck. His response? Pure warmth and kindness. “It’s so nice to meet you, Beta,” he said. And then, as he was leaving, he blessed her with a heartfelt gesture. Anushka was on cloud nine. “Wow, what an inspiration,” she thought.
Humility and Stardom
Shah Rukh Khan’s humility left a lasting impression on Anushka Sen. She believes that it’s this humility that propels people like him to great heights. His speeches, interviews, and interactions—all contribute to the legacy of the King Khan.
Anushka’s journey from that red carpet event in 2013 to sharing a flight with Shah Rukh Khan in 2024 is a testament to her own growth and the impact of meeting her idol. As she continues to bridge the gap between Korean and Indian entertainment, she carries with her the blessings and inspiration from none other than the Badshah himself.
In a candid conversation, Anushka also revealed that South Koreans love Indian food and know about Shah Rukh Khan. It seems the connection between Korea and India extends beyond just entertainment!
So, here’s to Anushka Sen—a rising star who not only shines on screen but also cherishes the moments when she met the superstar who continues to inspire millions worldwide.
