Shah Rukh’s response to the shoutout was met with warm affection from his fans, further solidifying his strong bond with the British band.

In 2016, Coldplay had performed at the Global Citizen Festival in India, and Shah Rukh had hosted an after-party for Martin and the band at his residence. The tribute from Chris Martin added another memorable moment to their long-standing friendship.
