Shashi Kapoor’s grandson Zahan Kapoor has been taking the entertainment world by storm. With his recent stint in the Netflix original series Black Warrant, the young actor has made his mark, garnering praise for his intensity and presence on screen. Adding to his growing popularity, Zahan recently appeared in a commercial with Bollywood’s King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan. The commercial, which features a soft drink brand, depicts an adventurous surfing challenge between the two actors and intrigues people with its adventure and charm.
Zahan Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan: The Surfing Challenge
The commercial is shot with Shah Rukh Khan, who is as endearing as ever, inviting Zahan Kapoor to learn surfing. Though a fairly new face, Zahan comes across as a confident person who takes up the challenge in an unflinching manner. There follows a high-octane sequence wherein both actors surf the waves skillfully, proving their athleticism as well as chemistry on screen.
The moment the ad was out, fans swamped social media with accolades. Praises such as “King look,” “59 never looked better!!” and “I demand a behind-the-scenes video” rang across sites.
Shah Rukh Khan himself posted the video with an uplifting caption:
“Jo kehte hai abhi tera time nahin, unko galat saabit karne ka sahi time yahi hai. Toh aaja, jo duniya maane tujhe kam, usey dikhaade tera dum.”(People who say it’s not your time, prove them wrong. If people are pulling you from behind, it’s the right time to prove them wrong.)
