<p>The picture has already gone viral on social media, with fans flooding the comments section expressing excitement.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A user wrote, "The world's most valuable frame." Another user wrote, "Three megastars of Bollywood with the world's biggest influencer MR Beast! Damn, it wasn't in my wish list of 2025."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One fan wrote, “Instagram Story of Mr.Beast with the 3 Khans !!!!!”</p><h2>About the Khan bonding</h2><p>If MrBeast does bring the three khans- Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir together, it would be the first time that three actors would share screen together. They started their careers around the same time and have been the undisputed kings of the box office for decades. Salman has worked in films with SRK and Aamir; however, Aamir and SRK have never shared screen space. In recent times, the Khans made appearances at each other's events.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For example, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan appeared for the special screening of Aamir Khan's son Junaid's Nadaaniyan screening.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Aamir Khan and Salman Khan appeared together for the opening episode of Two Much With Kajol and Twinkle Khanna. They shared anecdotes from the bygone era, their areas of similar choices and fields of different opinions. They also feature with SRK in Aryan Khan’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood, but they do share the screen space together in the web series.</p>

Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan recently met with popular YouTuber MrBeast at an event in Riyadh. The YouTuber shared an image posing with three Khans on social media which immediately went viral.

India's top superstars, Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, won their first-ever National Award in the Best Actor and Best Actress categories (respectively) this year. While Khan was honoured for his performance in Jawan, Mukerji was awarded the medal for her brilliant performance in Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway. 

Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji Win National Film Awards

<p>All eyes were on Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji at the 71st National Film Awards ceremony that took place in Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on Tuesday afternoon. The two Bollywood stars, along with fellow winner Vikrant Massey, were seated together. Cameras hovered around them throughout the ceremony, capturing moments of the trio chatting and watching other winners take home the coveted award. A moment of the three wearing their medals soon after receiving them has been doing the rounds on the internet. What caught everyone’s attention was how Rani helped SRK detangle his medal and wear it properly around his neck, and soon broke into a smile together.&nbsp;</p><h2>Rani Mukerji helps Shah Rukh Khan</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The video, which is very school-children-coded, has Vikrant first handing over SRK his medal. As Vikrant and Rani wear their respective medals, SRK seem to be struggling to detangle his medal. Rani, being a good friend, helps him out and puts the medal around his neck. She then offers him her phone’s front camera to see if the medal is sitting well around his neck.&nbsp;</p>

The two Bollywood stars, along with fellow winner Vikrant Massey, were seated together. Cameras hovered around them throughout the ceremony, capturing moments of the trio chatting and watching other winners take home the coveted award. A moment of the three wearing their medals soon after receiving them has been doing the rounds on the internet. What caught everyone’s attention was how Rani helped SRK detangle his medal and wear it properly around his neck, and soon broke into a smile together.

As Vikrant and Rani wear their respective medals, SRK seem to be struggling to detangle his medal. Rani, being a good friend, helps him out and puts the medal around his neck. She then offers him her phone’s front camera to see if the medal is sitting well around his neck.

He just wanted one-on-one father-son time. He also got to see what I do between the shows and sort of what it takes to make a music video. It was really nice for him to see that.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sheeran shot the Sapphire music video in all corners of India.
