Shah Rukh Khan’s latest visit to Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja has given fans another memorable moment to talk about. A video from the actor’s Ganpati darshan is circulating widely after he was seen asking for a tilak before continuing with his prayers.
Shah Rukh visited the iconic pandal with his wife Gauri Khan, daughter Suhana Khan and manager Pooja Dadlani. Dressed in a blue kurta, the actor folded his hands, bowed before the idol and participated in the darshan.
Shah Rukh Khan Notices He Has Not Applied Tilak
In the video circulating on social media, Shah Rukh appears to notice that he has not yet applied a tilak.
He then gestures towards the area where the tilak is available and asks for it. A person at the pandal hands him kumkum from near the Ganpati idol, after which the actor applies the tilak to his forehead before continuing with the darshan.
It was a brief moment during the larger visit, but the interaction quickly attracted attention online.
Fans shared the clip across social media, with several users commenting on Shah Rukh’s participation in the traditional rituals.
Some comments praised the actor’s demeanour during the visit, while others highlighted the simplicity of the moment.

The family arrived at the popular Mumbai pandal amid tight security and large crowds. Shah Rukh was also seen acknowledging fans and photographers during the visit.
According to the supplied report, the actor waited until Gauri and Suhana had safely reached their vehicle before joining them.
Another Video From the Visit Goes Viral
The tilak moment was not the only clip from Shah Rukh’s Lalbaugcha Raja visit to attract attention.
Another video showed the actor using Pooja Dadlani’s dupatta during the darshan. The moment prompted social-media users to comment on Shah Rukh and Pooja’s long-standing professional association and close bond.
Pooja Dadlani has worked with Shah Rukh for years as his manager and is frequently seen accompanying him at public and professional events.
Shah Rukh Khan Has Previously Spoken About Ganpati Celebrations at Home
Shah Rukh has previously discussed how Ganesh Chaturthi is observed at his home.
During an AskSRK interaction, he explained that Gauri Khan performs the aarti and prayers, after which the family participates in the visarjan. He described the celebration as a relatively simple family occasion involving their children and friends.
His latest visit to Lalbaugcha Raja therefore comes alongside his previously shared comments about celebrating the festival with his family.
Shah Rukh Khan’s King Is Next
On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan is preparing for King, one of his upcoming Hindi film projects.
