In the next picture, Shah Rukh smiled looking at his hands as he held something. Eric stood next to him holding a ball. Shah Rukh’s manager Pooja Dadlani also smiled while looking at another person. Shah Rukh’s wife-interior designer Gauri Khan looked at Pooja and smiled too.

Shah Rukh was seen in a black sweatshirt, matching denims and a cap. Gauri was seen in a black outfit too. Pooja opted for a white shirt and denims. The room, in which they gathered, had a red brick wall on one side in which a huge painting was hung. A chandelier also hung from the ceiling. Couches along with a coffee table were also seen in the picture.

Sharing the photos, Eric captioned the post, “Is it time for my Bollywood debut? Had a wonderful chat with superstar @iamsrk at his residence Mannat, learning more about the film industry in Mumbai and discussing the huge cultural impact of Hollywood and Bollywood across the globe. #AmbExploresIndia.”

Reacting to the post, a fan wrote, “Ambassador sir absolutely, Karan Arjun 2 it should be.” A person asked, “So Isn’t #SRK getting younger by time?” A Twitter user also said, “Caption should have been ‘with the only legend’.” A fan called Shah Rukh ‘biggest superstar in the World’.
