We asked one of Shah Rukh Khan’s biggest fans, Shruti T, to do a diary of her experiences for the whole day! Read on to find out what happened when Srk came to Toronto on October 26th!
Most fans’ dreams usually come true when they meet their idol. However, for most Shah Rukh Khan fans, their dreams come true when they get a mere glimpse of their idol in person. Endless ear piercing screams, shock and shivers, shrieks and smiles, tears and ultimate hysteria -- that is the usual result of what they call “King Khan fandemonium”.
