Shah Rukh Khan recently visited the Vaishno Devi Temple in Katra and now a photo from his visit is going viral. The actor was seen walking towards the shrine amid heightened security as he kept his face hidden from cameras.

In the new photo, the actor is seen posing for a photo with a teeka (vermillion) on his forehead. Twitter user @ISRKzBeliever shared a photo where one of the fans is posing with Shah Rukh. “Shah Rukh Khan yesterday after seeking blessings from Mataji of Vaishno Devi Temple. ❤️ Love You Legend @iamsrk!!!” read the caption.
Another user, @FanXGaurav, shared a photo as SRK posed with two of his fans.
Fans called SRK “a symbol of India’s secular ethos” in the comments section. One fan wrote, “Shahrukh Khan — at Mecca and at Vaishnodevi. Truly a symbol of India’s secular ethos.” Another fan wrote, “Most secular actor in the history of Indian Cinema.”
