It’s King Khan’s birthday today. Well, his fandom is something else only. People from all walks of life appreciate his charm and charisma. One hard-core fan from Varanasi did something extreme to show his love for the superstar. A Banarasi paan vendor renamed a meetha paan after the superstar. This happened after Shah Rukh Khan relished a sweet paan at his shop.
When In Banaras, It Is Mandatory To Relish Banaras Ka Paan
While promoting his film ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ with Anushka Sharma and Imtiaz Ali in Banaras, he visited this shop. And how can they miss paan banarasiya when they are in the holy city of Lord Shiva? All three of them relished the local yet famous Banaras ka paan.
