Shah Rukh Khan’s Return Gift For Egyptian Fan Who Helped Indian Professor; Know Their Story

Bhubaneswar: Professor of Economics, Ashoka University, Ashwini Deshpande could not have wished for a better ending to this story, which began last year.

On December 31, the professor shared an adorable story about how an Egyptian travel agent agreed to book tickets for her even without the necessary advance payment because she was from India and the agent was a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan.

“Needed to transfer money to a travel agent in Egypt. Was having problems with the transfer. He said: you are from the country of @iamsrk. I trust you. I will make the booking, you pay me later. For anywhere else, I wouldn’t do this. But anything for @iamsrk. And he did! #SRK is (crown emoji) (sic),” she tweeted.

On reaching Egypt, Ashwini shared pictures with the travel agent and wrote: “My husband & I finally met the man in this story today! I told him about the tsunami of good cheer his story generated. @RedChilliesEnt : he would be delighted with a photo of @iamsrk, autographed in his daughter’s name if possible. Please DM me if this can be arranged, thanks! (sic).”

The SRK did not disappoint them. His manager Pooja Dadlani arranged for sending the requested items.

Sharing the interesting update on Twitter, the professor wrote, “A very happy ending to this story. 3 photos signed by SRK arrived today, one with the nicest message for the Egyptian travel agent, one for his daughter & one for mine @Ketaki_Varma Thanks @pooja_dadlani for getting in touch & of course to @iamsrk for the gracious gesture (sic).”
