Superstar Shah Rukh Khan cancelled a scheduled event this week that was set to unveil a bronze statue of himself and co-star Kajol from the iconic film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ (1995) in Leicester Square.
Khan was expected to make a brief stop in the British capital on his return journey from his debut appearance at the Met Gala in New York. However, the event was called off due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan in the wake of Operation Sindoor.
