Shah Rukh Khan, the Bollywood superstar, has once again captured the attention of fans and media alike, this time with his unique hairstyle during recent Ganpati festivities. The actor, known for his charismatic personality and trend-setting style, sported a sleek ponytail, a departure from his usual looks, as he visited various Ganpati celebrations.
On September 24, 2023, Shah Rukh Khan's evening was marked by visits to two prominent Ganpati celebrations. He first attended the Ganpati puja at Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's residence, where he was honored with a shawl and bouquet. Later that night, he was seen at the T-Series office in Mumbai, offering prayers to Lord Ganpati. Videos of SRK at the T-Series office quickly went viral, showcasing his devotion and stylish appearance. For the occasion, he chose a blue pathani suit, complementing his sleek ponytail. He was also seen posing with Bhushan Kumar at the puja.
The ponytail look particularly resonated with fans, drawing comparisons to his younger days and his action-packed roles in recent films like "Jawan". Social media was flooded with comments praising his youthful appearance and his ability to effortlessly pull off any style. This isn't the first time SRK has sported a ponytail; he was previously seen with the hairstyle at Kalina airport in Mumbai while heading to Kolkata for a Knight Riders match in April 2024.
Beyond his public appearances, Shah Rukh Khan, along with his family, continues to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi with great enthusiasm at his home, Mannat. In September 2024, he shared a glimpse of the Ganpati idol at Mannat on Instagram, accompanied by a heartfelt message wishing everyone health, love, joy, and of course, a lot of modaks. In 2023, the Khan family also attended the grand Ganpati puja hosted by the Ambanis at their Mumbai residence, Antilia.
Ganesh Chaturthi is a special time for devotees worldwide, and Bollywood celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan often share glimpses of their celebrations, further amplifying the festive spirit. Other celebrities who celebrated Ganeshotsav in 2023 included Priyanka Chopra, who worshipped Bappa at her Los Angeles home, Anushka Sharma, who celebrated with her family in Mumbai, and Kartik Aaryan, who visited Lalbaugcha Raja for darshan.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan has been enjoying the success of his recent films, "Pathaan" and "Jawan," both of which saw him in action-oriented roles. "Dunki," released in December 2023, also garnered attention for its sensitive portrayal of immigration issues. While SRK has not yet announced his next project, there are reports of a potential collaboration with Salman Khan in "Tiger vs Pathaan," which would mark their first full-fledged collaboration since "Karan Arjun".
