In a bizarre incident, a Shah Rukh Khan superfan came up with a unique idea to work and watch the film at the same time on the first day of its release. 

A picture of SRK’s admirer working on his laptop while watching the first-day show in a Bengaluru cinema went viral.

However, his behaviour did not sit well with netizens. They said such people are the reason for spoiling the mood in the cinemas and compromising the quality of work.

It’s nonsense, if you are too busy in your work to go for a movie then think about it. And if you came to watch the movie in between your work then also think about it. Both situations are not right. Don’t set bad examples, I mean I am also in IT industry and I will not do this.

WFH prevails all over India not just Bangalore! Also it’s totally mannerless and there is a lack of discipline to disturb other movie watchers watching movies peacefully! I would have called bouncers and escorted you out
