Mumbai, Jan 19 : Bollywood’s Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan returned to Instagram after a gap of almost 18 weeks, and was greeted with glee by joyous fans.

Shah Rukh has 27.8 million followers on Instagram. His last post was on September 19, 2021 with an image of Bappa Maurya.

On Wednesday, after four months exactly, the Baazigar returned but with a paid partnership post, detached and very professional.

His post of the idol of Lord Ganesha, and chanting of “Ganapati Bappa Maurya !” is what welcomed fans everyday since the cruise drugs episode that caused tumult in Mannat.

Ever since the arrest of his son Aryan, the Bollywood star could only be imagined as a dad waiting for the cub’s return. Not to forget, in the latest “Lion King” Hindi version it was Aryan and SRK who lip synced Simba and Mufasa.

Aryan was picked up on October 2 from the cruise deck and after many twists and turns, was granted bail on October 28.

The Bollywood superstar had kept distance from the spotlight.

Maintaining a low profile, SRK made his a surprise public appearance for the first time after his son’s bail on December 15. He made a virtual appearance at a company event with whom he is associated.

His latest post on Insta has left fans ecstatic. It’s an one minute video ad but fans don’t care they are just happy at his return.

Within seconds fans posted messages of glee and emojis exclaiming their excitement at the King’s return.

“Finally Khansaab Ko ID ka Password Yaad Aagaya,” said a fan, while another said “I LOVE YOU FOR INFINITY”…“The king is back, finally,” said another.
