John Cena, the Hollywood actor and WWE superstar, recently visited to India to attend the grand wedding of Akash Ambani, the son of India’s wealthiest businessman, Mukesh Ambani. This marked his second consecutive visit to India, having previously been there last year for a WWE Superstar Spectacle live event. He got a chance to meet his idol, Shah Rukh Khan, Bollywood’s most celebrated actor and Indian superstar.
This was the first time Cena met Shah Rukh Khan in person. They had previously interacted various times on social media. John Cena admires and loves Shah Rukh Khan for his inspirational words that came at a pivotal time in his life, helping him recognize and appreciate his blessings. He is moved by Shah Rukh’s empathy, kindness, and generosity, which left a lasting impression on him.
During an interview with news agency ANI, John Cena said, “He (Shah Rukh) delivered a Ted Talk that came into my life at the perfect time, and his words were incredibly inspirational to me. They helped orchestrate a significant change in my life. Since then, I’ve been able to recognize all the blessings I’ve received, and I’ve worked hard to ensure I don’t waste them. Meeting him was such an emotional moment; being able to shake the hand of someone who has profoundly impacted your life and tell them exactly what they did was incredible. He was amazing—empathetic, kind, and generous. It was truly wonderful. I was awestruck.”
Earlier, the day after attending Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding on July 14 in Mumbai, Cena posted a picture on his X account with Shah Rukh Khan from their meeting at the event. In the post, he highlighted the positive impact Shah Rukh had on his life.
He wrote “A surreal 24 hours. So grateful for the Ambani family for their unmatched warmth and hospitality. An experience filled with so many unforgettable moments which allowed me to connect with countless new friends, including meeting @imsrk (Shah Rukh Khan) and being able to tell him personally the positive effect he has had on my life.”
