Ashwini Deshpande, an Economics professor from Ashoka University recently took to social media to recount her experience while booking a trip, when things worked out in her favour due to Shah Rukh Khan’s reputation.
According to Deshpande, she was unable to transfer money to a travel agent in Egypt, but was unable to do so due to some problems. The agent, who was a fan of Khan, said that he would trust her and make the booking on her behalf because she was from the country of Shah Rukh Khan. Deshpande narrated the incident and wrote that the agent told her he was only doing this because she was from India.
“For anywhere else, I wouldn't do this. But anything for @iamsrk. And he did! #SRK is (crown emoji)."”, Deshpande tweeted.
