Shah Rukh Khan romances with a 'batli' at WAVES summit; Deepika in splits, KJo says, "it just had a baby"

Trust Shah Rukh Khan to steal the spotlight with the most unexpected move. At the recent WAVES Summit 2025, a video of the superstar romantically “flirting” with a water bottle on stage has gone viral and fans can’t get enough! SRK, who shared the stage with his iconic co-star Deepika Padukone, left the audience in splits as he turned on his charm, not toward Deepika, but toward a humble bottle of water. In the clip, now trending across social media, Shah Rukh dramatically recites his famous poetic line from Jab Tak Hai Jaan before lovingly sipping from the bottle. Deepika bursts into laughter, only to be cheekily told, “Don’t interrupt while I’m trying to romance… a batli.”

The hilarious moment got even better when filmmaker Karan Johar joined the fun and joked, “The bottle just had a baby.” Classic KJo! The viral video is just one highlight from the WAVES Summit 2025, a star-studded industry event focused on the evolving landscape of Indian cinema, streaming, and storytelling. Celebrities, creators, and filmmakers have been attending panels and discussions, sharing insights on everything from AI in filmmaking to the global rise of Bollywood.

Shah Rukh and Deepika’s appearance together was a treat for fans, especially with the buzz around their upcoming film King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film also features Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Abhay Verma, and is set for a 2026 release.

The WAVES Summit has become more than just a conference; it’s a celebration of cinema, culture, and charisma. Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone also took the opportunity to talk about her journey in the industry and how things look for her now. She also talked about her responsibility towards her daughter Dua and how her acting career will now reform courtesy of her daughter. Fans are now only looking forward to see the actress take on iconic roles and SRK and Deepika share screen once again.
