Turkish actress Hande Erçel has issued a strong denial regarding a widely circulated social media screenshot that falsely attributed a derogatory comment to her about Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan. The fabricated image claimed Erçel referred to Khan as 'uncle.'
This clarification came after a video of Erçel filming Shah Rukh Khan at the Joy Awards 2026 in Riyadh became a major talking point online. In the original footage, Erçel was seen enthusiastically recording Khan as he presented an award.
However, a doctored screenshot soon surfaced, purportedly from Erçel's account, with a caption dismissing Khan and claiming she was only filming her friend. Erçel promptly addressed the misinformation on her official social media, stating, "This is fake." She urged the public to cease the propagation of false information.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is preparing for the release of his upcoming film, King, set to premiere this Christmas.
