'Have always been a big admirer but...': Shah Rukh Khan pens note for David Beckham after he attends party at Mannat

Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan recently played host to renowned footballer David Beckham and his family during Beckham's visit to India to witness the positive impact of UNICEF-supported initiatives benefiting girls and women in rural areas.

Sharing a lovely picture from the evening gathering, SRK wrote, “Last night with an icon…and an absolute gentleman. I've always held great admiration, but meeting him and observing his interactions with kids made me realize that his kindness and gentle nature surpass even his football prowess. My warm regards to your family. Stay well, happy my friend, and catch up on some sleep… @Davidbeckham.”
