When little Janhvi Kapoor stole the show while handing an award to Shah Rukh Khan; got a peck on the cheek from the actor. Watch
An old video from an award show is going viral on X (formerly Twitter), which shows a young Janhvi accompanying her father Boney Kapoor on stage, along with Preity Zinta. Boney and Preity were on stage to hand over an award, and Shah Rukh won it for Devdas. Despite the presence of the industry's two biggest names, all eyes were on little Janhvi, who looked adorable in a black dress. She had her hair tied in a braid and kept holding her father Boney Kapoor's hand. After reaching the stage, Boney asked her to say 'good evening.' He then picked Janhvi up in his arms so that she could also announce the winner's name with them, and together they shouted, 'Shah Rukh Khan.'
'I feel a great sense of achievement in having played a role that Dilip Saab did. I'm nowhere in the same league. My #Devdas is just a tribute to his performance' #ShahRukhKhan👏🏻 #DilipKumar
Is that lil Jahnvi? She's adorable. And so is Gauri, beaming with pride for Shah Rukh😊 pic.twitter.com/p7NnATlX8T

After coming on stage, Shah Rukh first planted a peck on Janhvi's cheek and then went on to receive the award. Janhvi remained unaffected by the cameras and kept looking here and there. After Boney handed the award to Shah Rukh, they all posed for a picture. The actor gave a speech about filling Dilip Kumar's shoes in Devdas. Dilip Kumar had originally played the iconic character of Devdas in the 1955 film. Shah Rukh later starred in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas, which released in 2002.
In an earlier interaction with NDTV, Janhvi was asked if she would like to star opposite Shah Rukh, Aamir, or Salman. Though she expressed excitement at the thought, she also expressed some reservation. She said, 'They are the biggest stars and everybody wants to work with them but thoda odd hoga agar main unke opposite kaam karungi toh (it would be a little odd if I star opposite them) but I will love to work with them.'
On the work front, Janhvi will next be seen in Karan Johar's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and Dinesh Vijan's Param Sundari. Shah Rukh, on the other hand, is gearing up for The King, which is helmed by Pathaan director Siddharth Anand.

Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal: Astronomer Hires Chris Martins Ex-Wife Gwyneth Paltrow As Temporary Spokesperson
New Delhi: Astronomer, the AI tech company that shot to global fame after the Coldplay kiss cam scandal, has now made an unexpected PR move to take what many are calling 'revenge.' The company has hired Hollywood actress and entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow who also happens to be Coldplay frontman Chris Martin's ex-wife as a 'temporary spokesperson.' This comes after a video from the band's Boston concert, shown on the stadium's kiss cam, unintentionally exposed an affair between Astronomer's former CEO Andy Byron and ex-HR head Kristin Cabot. The clip went viral, and both employees have since resigned. In a new tongue-in-cheek video posted on Astronomer's official X (formerly Twitter) account, Paltrow says: 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer.' Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. — Astronomer (@astronomerio) July 25, 2025 She adds, 'Astronomers have gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones." However, rather than directly addressing the scandal, the Iron Man actress pivots smoothly to promote the company's data workflow tools and AI products. The video begins with the caption, 'OMG! What the actual F,' before cutting to Paltrow who brightly declares that Astronomer is the 'best place to run Apache Airflow.' She adds, 'We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation.' When asked, 'How is your social media team holding up?', viewers braced for a response about the scandal. But instead, Paltrow promoted the company's Beyond Analytics conference, scheduled for September, adding that vacancies are still open. 'We will now be returning to what we do best: Delivering game-changing results to our customers,' she concludes. 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.' Netizens React: One user wrote: 'I want to know what prompt you used on what system to come up with this PR response because chef's kiss.' Another exclaimed: 'You got Chris Martin's ex-wife???!!! Savage.' A third added: 'Astronomer, whose CEO was caught cheating on his wife with the head of HR at a Coldplay concert, just released an ad starring Coldplay's lead singer's ex-wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. Yes, they think adultery and marriage is a joke… Other than that, clever marketing.' Another summed it up with: 'You hired the Coldplay singer's ex-wife. Extraordinary.'
