Overview
- A Joy Awards 2026 clip from Riyadh shows Hande Erçel recording on her phone while Shah Rukh Khan stood on stage with Egyptian actor Amina Khalil.
- A circulating image claimed to be Erçel’s Instagram story read, “Who is this uncle? I was just filming my friend Amina Khalil, I am not his fan,” which fueled online criticism.
- Erçel responded on X to a post sharing the alleged story and wrote, “This is fake,” rejecting that she called Shah Rukh Khan “uncle.”
- The purported Instagram story is not visible on Erçel’s profile, and there is no confirmation that she posted and deleted it.
- Erçel’s event posts tagged Amina Khalil, and similar content from Amina supports the claim that Erçel was filming her friend rather than Shah Rukh Khan.
