Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan continues to prove why he’s a global icon — not just in cinema, but in the hearts of fans worldwide. After his memorable reunion with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan at the Joy Forum 2025 in Riyadh, the actor once again lit up the internet — this time with a surprise appearance alongside Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae.
Shah Rukh Khan and Lee Jung-jae’s Selfie Breaks the Internet
On Saturday, the Emmy-winning Squid Game actor Lee Jung-jae shared a now-viral selfie with Shah Rukh Khan on Instagram. In the picture, SRK looks effortlessly suave in an all-black ensemble, while Lee kept it casual yet charming in a hoodie. Captioning the post, Lee wrote, “Honoured to be with a respected icon Mr. @iamsrk.”
The image instantly sent social media into a meltdown. Fans from both India and South Korea flooded the comments with excitement, calling it “the crossover of the century.” One user wrote, “SRK and Lee Jung-jae in one frame? My multiverse is complete!” Another commented, “Imagine these two in an action thriller — global domination!” A third fan added, “Two cinematic legends, one iconic selfie.”
Joy Forum 2025: A Global Celebration of Entertainment
The selfie was taken at Joy Forum 2025, an international entertainment convention held in Riyadh that brought together artists, producers, and creators from around the world. Apart from SRK’s appearance with Salman and Aamir Khan, the event also hosted global icons such as Lee Byung-hun, Shaquille O’Neal, MrBeast, and IShowSpeed.
A viral clip from the event also showed Shah Rukh and Aamir sharing a warm moment while posing for a photo together — a nostalgic sight for millions of fans. Meanwhile, the Squid Game team, including Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun, participated in a panel alongside director Yoon Je-kyun, producer Hyun Park, and podcaster Mohamad Islam to discuss the global rise of Korean entertainment.
What’s Next for Shah Rukh Khan and Lee Jung-jae
Lee Jung-jae, who gained worldwide fame for his role as Seong Gi-hun in Squid Game, recently wrapped up filming for the show’s highly anticipated third season. He will next appear in the upcoming Korean web series Nice to Not Meet You, co-starring Lim Ji-yeon, Kim Ji-hoon, and Seo Ji-hye, set to premiere in November 2025.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is currently shooting for his action-packed film King, directed by Siddharth Anand, also starring Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, and Raghav Juyal. The superstar was last seen in a cameo in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood. King is slated for release in 2026, marking SRK’s return to full-fledged action.
The selfie may have lasted only a few seconds, but for fans, it was enough to bridge two cinematic worlds — Bollywood royalty meets K-drama royalty, a moment that truly defines global fandom in the age of social connection.
