KBC contestant refuses to hug Shah Rukh Khan

Rachana with Shah Rukh Khan on KBC

Considering he is used to being adored Shah Rukh Khan was in for a rude shock recently when Rachana Sharma, a teacher from Haryana, refused to hug him while quitting the game. SRK's plight didn't end here. Rachana (who had come on the show with her mother Santosh) snubbed him too by saying 'Mr Khan, mujhe aapse gale milne ka koi shouk nahin hai' instead of saying 'Main aapse gale milna chahti hoon Shah Rukh', which a contestant has to say as a norm when he or she quits the game. She also added that she didn't consider Shah Rukh a great actor.

Incidentally, SRK was friendly with Rachana's mother Santosh, and kept on exchanging pleasantries and blowing kisses.

However a witty SRK did not hand over the cheque to Rachana. He sought her permission to hand it over to her mother, Santosh, instead, as he thought he would get a hug from her. After this SRK went up to the companion seating area and handed over the cheque to Santosh. And yes, he was rewarded with a warm hug and blessings.
