The video of Shah Rukh Khan almost drowning and getting upset on a TV show was staged

Recently, a video of Shah Rukh Khan almost drowning in a quicksand in Dubai and later being scared by a Komodo Dragon had gone viral. In the video, SRK and a girl get semi-buried in a quicksand and are scared to bits by a Komodo dragon. But, it was not for real and turned out to be a well-thought out prank by the famous Egyptian comedian Ramez Galal, the host of Ramez Underground, an Arabic TV show. He is notorious for scaring celebs in various situations and this time his target was SRK.

However, SRK wasn’t too pleased with the prank and one could see his aggression in the video wherein he was almost going to bash up Ramez for playing a scary prank on him. He literally shouted on Ramez saying, “This is nonsense. You got me all the way from India to do this sh*t?” Seeing his anger, Ramez quickly sought an apology, but SRK seemed in no mood to forgive. So when the viewers saw this entire video, many ended up believing it to be for real, however it seems that the entire video was staged. Like, SRK’s anger was also staged and not for real.

SRK’s manager Pooja Dadlani revealed the same to a leading daily. She said, “Yes, it was staged and Shah Rukh Khan was aware and was acting as if he was angry.” Reports also state that he was paid around Rs 2 crore for his appearance on the show.
