Shah Rukh Khan and son AbRam’s meet-up with Messi melts hearts

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s youngest son, AbRam Khan, experienced a fanboy moment that has the internet swooning.

While the superstar himself enjoyed meeting football legend Lionel Messi in Kolkata, it was little AbRam’s wide-eyed excitement that truly stole the spotlight.

The heartwarming encounter, captured in photos and videos, has instantly melted hearts across social media.

On Saturday, Shah Rukh Khan arrived in Kolkata accompanied by AbRam to meet Messi.

Videos emerging from the meet-and-greet showed Messi greeting the duo with a warm smile and handshake, followed by a cozy photo session with father and son.

However, it was AbRam’s adorable interaction with the football icon that has fans going gaga online.

In one clip, Messi can be seen gently resting a hand on AbRam’s shoulder as they pose together for pictures.

Adding to the magic, AbRam was also spotted getting an autograph from Messi, making the encounter even more special.

Fans flooded social media with comments celebrating the moment.

One wrote, “Beautiful picture. Definitely one for the treasure trove.” Another added, “Shah Rukh Khan, known for his charm and elegance, was seen dressed in a pristine all-white ensemble exuding his signature charisma…..You looked spectacular, @iamsrk dear. And the way AbRam was clutching your hand with no intention of letting go? Too cute for words.”

The excitement continued, with fans sharing their delight: “Video of the day & more to come hopefully,” one post read, while another gushed.

“After this Shah Rukh himself clicked Abram’s pic with Messi… i think this might have been his main motivation to attend the event. Khan saab please adopt me.”

Another fan summed up the collective emotion: “OH MY GOD....OH MY GOD... THIS IS... HISTORY… my Shah Rukh meeting MESSI and welcoming him in our city… @iamsrk but you know what makes Jacymaa's heart the happiest ...seeing my little AbRam meeting and getting autograph from my little soccer lover's most favorite Messi.”

“Mera chota Shah Rukh meeting MESSI has brought me thousand times more happiness than I imagined,” another commented, with one writing, “@iamsrk nothing gives me more happiness and Sukoon than seeing my AbAbam happy, so happy that my baby fulfilled his desire.”

Messi’s visit to India was equally spectacular. The football legend landed at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport early Saturday morning, drawing thousands of fans eager to catch a glimpse. This marks Messi’s second visit to India; he previously came to Kolkata in 2011 for a friendly game against Venezuela.

The GOAT India Tour 2025 will span four cities over three days, starting in Kolkata, followed by Hyderabad later on Friday. On the second day, Messi will be in Mumbai and will conclude the tour in New Delhi on Monday, with a scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi before departing.

AbRam Khan’s joyous encounter with Messi has now become one of the most talked-about highlights of the tour, proving that sometimes, the cutest moments happen off the field and straight into our hearts.
