In the video, Khan can be seen smiling and taking the phone from the individual before gesturing towards the official photographers positioned in front of the stage. He then handed the device back and posed for the professional cameras. Moments later, another person tried to take a selfie, and Khan again encouraged them to face the front camera before continuing with the formalities.<\/p>\n<p>The video was widely shared on platforms such as Threads, prompting mixed reactions. The post\u2019s caption suggested that while some interpreted Khan\u2019s gesture as dismissive, others noted that \u201cin crowded, high-security events, even small interactions can look different from what they really are.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DTpzdm5gcih\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"\/>\n<p>Many fans came to Khan\u2019s defence online, arguing that he was simply following the event\u2019s protocol and ensuring that proper, official photographs were taken. One user wrote, \u201cHe is clearly telling them to take a picture from the front so that the photo will be clearer.\u201d Another comment read, \u201cSRK was following protocol\u2026 Why take a selfie on stage with an award when there is a cameraman?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Supporters also noted that award ceremonies typically have designated photographers to capture official moments, and impromptu selfies can disrupt proceedings or obscure the awarded moment. \u201cThere\u2019s a camera right in front. Why would he stop for selfies at a formal event?\u201d one user commented, reflecting this sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>The Joy Awards event featured an international roster of entertainers, with Khan appearing alongside global stars as part of the ceremony. After the interaction, the actor took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his appreciation for the evening, congratulating organisers on five successful years of the awards and acknowledging the grand scale of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Off-stage, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film King, directed by Siddharth Anand and featuring an ensemble cast, including his daughter Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/news\/features\/siddharth-anands-cryptic-post-fuels-speculation-shah-rukh-khans-king-release-date-announcement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Siddharth Anand\u2019s cryptic post fuels speculation on Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s King release date announcement<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BOLLYWOOD NEWS &#8211; LIVE UPDATES<\/p>\n<p>Catch us for latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/bollywood\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Bollywood News\" title=\"Bollywood News\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bollywood News<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/movies\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"New Bollywood Movies\" title=\"New Bollywood Movies\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New Bollywood Movies<\/a> update, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/box-office-collections\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Box office collection\" title=\"Box office collection\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Box office collection<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/movies\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"New Movies Release\" title=\"New Movies Release\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New Movies Release <\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/hindi\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Bollywood News Hindi\" title=\"Bollywood News Hindi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bollywood News Hindi<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Entertainment News\" title=\"Entertainment News\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment News<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/news\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Bollywood Live News Today\" title=\"Bollywood Live News Today\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bollywood Live News Today<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/movie-release-dates\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Upcoming Movies 2026\" title=\"Upcoming Movies 2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Upcoming Movies 2026<\/a> and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan found himself at the centre of a social media conversation after a brief&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[434,18,117,3617,19,17,146275,146187,3770,146276],"class_list":{"0":"post-293947","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-features","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-joy-awards","15":"tag-joy-awards-2026","16":"tag-shah-rukh-khan","17":"tag-shah-rukh-khan-fan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115927536449543082","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
