In a somber moment for Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, accompanied by his wife Gauri Khan, visited Farah Khan’s residence to pay respects following the passing of her mother, Menaka Irani. The couple arrived at the filmmaker's home, where they were greeted by a solemn atmosphere. Shah Rukh, visibly moved, donned a simple white shirt paired with blue jeans, accessorized with a brown sling bag and glasses. His hair, tied back in a ponytail, added to his understated look. The superstar, avoiding the waiting paparazzi, chose to focus on supporting Gauri, even holding the car door for her as they made their way to the elevator, directly heading to Farah’s apartment.

This poignant visit brings to light the long-standing and deep friendship between Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan. Their bond is not just limited to professional collaborations but extends into personal realms, as evidenced by a touching story Farah once shared. In a resurfaced video, Farah recalls a time of personal distress when Shah Rukh’s support became invaluable. She described how, during an emotionally challenging period, SRK left his shooting to come to her aid, offering comfort and a shoulder to lean on. "My dad passed away, but he sent you here to look after me. I really want to thank you because you do look after me," Farah expressed in the video, highlighting how Shah Rukh's presence felt like a blessing, as if sent by her late father.

This incident underscores the profound connection they share, a relationship that has weathered many ups and downs over the years. Their professional journey together began with Farah's directorial debut, "Main Hoon Na" in 2004, featuring Shah Rukh in the lead role. This film marked the beginning of a fruitful partnership, leading to other successful projects like "Om Shanti Om" and "Happy New Year."

Farah Khan's impact on Shah Rukh's career extends beyond directing, as she has choreographed some of the most iconic dances in his films. From the timeless moves in "Dil Toh Pagal Hai" and "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" to more recent hits like "Chennai Express" and "Jawan," Farah's influence is indelible in Shah Rukh's cinematic journey.

While their last director-actor collaboration was in 2015, their bond remains strong, evidenced by moments of personal support such as this.

The duo's enduring friendship reflect a deep mutual respect and affection, transcending the professional realm. As Shah Rukh Khan offered solace to Farah in this time of grief, it was a testament to their unwavering bond, one built on years of shared experiences and mutual support. The industry folks, including Aprat from Shah Rukh Khan, also gathered to offer condolences to Farah Khan and her family during this difficult time.
