Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan met Argentine football legend Lionel Messi on Saturday in Kolkata, as part of Messi's highly anticipated G.O.A.T India Tour. Fans of both icons shared videos of the heartwarming moment, capturing Shah Rukh posing with Messi and his young son, AbRam. Dressed casually in a cream-colored sweatshirt over a white t-shirt, Shah Rukh was seen patiently waiting as Messi graciously signed autographs for a crowd of young admirers before meeting the superstar himself. Messi, ever the sport, also posed for a photo with AbRam.

As part of his tour, Messi will also visit Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi, where he’ll meet with chief ministers, corporate leaders, Bollywood celebrities, and, on December 15, Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This marks Messi's second visit to India, having previously travelled to the country in 2011 to lead the Argentina national team in a match against Venezuela at Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium.
