Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan joined millions across the country in celebrating India’s 79th Independence Day on Friday, sharing a touching post alongside a rare photograph with his youngest son, AbRam Khan. The picture, posted on his social media, shows the father-son duo in a candid, heart-warming moment. Shah Rukh, dressed in casual attire, is seen smiling as AbRam, now a familiar favourite among SRK fans, stands proudly beside him. The image radiates warmth and togetherness, capturing the personal side of the global icon.
Along with the photo, Shah Rukh penned a heartfelt caption: “Our independence is our greatest gift… a key to our progress. Let’s keep our heads held high and hearts open. Happy Independence Day to all of us… Jai Hind!”
Known for his eloquence and humility, SRK’s message resonated with fans, reminding them that independence is not just a historic achievement but a continuing responsibility. His words emphasised unity, pride, and compassion, values he has often championed both on and off screen. Social media platforms were quick to light up, with hashtags like #JaiHind, #ShahRukhKhan, and #AbRam trending soon after his post. Fans praised the actor not only for his patriotic spirit but also for sharing a glimpse into his personal life, something he does selectively.
While Shah Rukh has celebrated Independence Day in various ways over the years, sometimes hoisting the tricolour at his home, Mannat, and other times sending video messages, this year’s post stood out for its simplicity and emotional appeal. AbRam, the youngest of his three children, has often been spotted with his father at events, but SRK’s Independence Day posts featuring him have always struck a chord with fans. Industry insiders say that SRK’s choice to post with AbRam reflects his belief in passing down the values of freedom, responsibility, and love for the nation to the next generation.
Across India, the day was marked with flag-hoisting ceremonies, cultural performances, and tributes to the freedom fighters who shaped the nation’s destiny. For millions of fans, Shah Rukh’s post became a symbolic reminder that patriotism can be celebrated in both grand gestures and small, heartfelt moments at home.
As the nation basked in the colours of the tricolour, Shah Rukh Khan’s message served as a gentle yet powerful reminder: independence is not just a chapter in history, it’s a gift we must nurture every day.
