The actor, who met Infantino at the AFC Asian Cup Final in Doha, Qatar, over the weekend seemingly made quite the impression over their brief interaction. The FIFA President on Tuesday, took to his Instagram handle to share a photo of himself with Khan and praised the actor’s profound passion of sports, particularly football.
The photo saw the two men putting on their best smiles for the camera as they posed together at the event. Expressing his delight at meeting the global movie star, Infantino wrote, “It was my great pleasure to meet with global movie star, Shah Rukh Khan, in Doha during the AFC Asian Cup final.”
Emphasizing on their shared love for football, and his anticipation for another rendezvous at a FIFA event in the near future, he added, “@iamsrk I was very happy to learn about your passion for sports, in particular our beautiful game. Good luck with your upcoming projects and I look forward to meeting you again soon at a FIFA event”.
This post comes shortly after a viral video saw SRK playing fotball in his back yard at Mannat. The clip saw the superstar enjoying himself at home with a few others, believed to be members of his staff.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Shah Rukh Khan has some time on hand after a successful 2023. Details about his upcoming project remain under wraps, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that he has inked a deal with filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh and other reports suggesting that his movie with daughter Suhana Khan may have just been put on hold.
