By the time Shah Rukh walked on stage at the MMRDA grounds where the Global Citizen India is taking place, a slew of Bollywod stars had already spoken to the audience.
But SRK was greeted with the loudest applause and when the superstar announced that he is here to introduce AR Rahman, the cheers were thunderous.
Shah Rukh welcomed the Oscar winner by making the audience sing-along with him to Rahman hits like Chhaiya Chhaiya and Dil Se Re.
