Shah Rukh Khan and Son Arrive in Kolkata for Messi Event

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has brought great excitement to Kolkata with his recent arrival, and he was joined by his young son, AbRam. The actor's visit comes right before the highly anticipated 'GOAT India Tour 2025,' which features football legend Lionel Messi. Videos of the famous father and son making a quick exit from the airport have quickly spread across social media. Fans are now eagerly looking forward to a huge event that is expected to bring together India's top movie star and one of the world's best footballers.

 

Shah Rukh Khan has been teasing his fans about a possible meeting with Lionel Messi for several days. He had posted a cryptic message on his social media account earlier this week, hinting at a big event at the Salt Lake Stadium. In his post, he used the word "Messi," which immediately caused a stir and suggested the two global icons might finally share a public stage. The Bollywood star and his son arrived in simple, comfortable clothes, with Shah Rukh holding AbRam’s hand as they were led through the crowd by security.

Adding to the city's excitement, Lionel Messi himself also landed in Kolkata early on the same morning. Thousands of enthusiastic football fans gathered at the airport, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Argentine star. Kolkata is the first stop on Messi's three-day tour across four Indian cities. With both Shah Rukh Khan and the famous footballer now in the city, the buzz around their expected joint appearance at the Salt Lake Stadium has reached a fever pitch.
