Shah Rukh Khan forces watch on Lady Gaga in old video; asks why she won’t date him: ‘Cringe’

A decade-old interview featuring Shah Rukh Khan and global pop star Lady Gaga has resurfaced on Reddit, with many social media users calling the interaction “uncomfortable” and “cringe.”

The clip, from Gaga’s visit to India in 2011, shows the Bollywood star repeatedly insisting that she accept his wristwatch as a gift despite her declining several times. The exchange has now reignited debate online.

The clip was recently shared on Reddit with the caption, “SRK really made Lady Gaga uncomfortable.” It captures a light-hearted interview in which an audience member asks Lady Gaga whether she would date Shah Rukh Khan.

Gaga replies, “Would I like to date you? Yes. You’re married? Absolutely not.”

Shah Rukh jokes, “Who told her about this marriage thing of mine here?”

When Gaga says, “I am a good girl… I’m a one-guy girl. And I’m very old-fashioned in that way. So absolutely no way”. Shah Rukh responds with, “See, you’ve dashed my hopes to the ground.”

The conversation later shifts to Shah Rukh offering Lady Gaga his watch as a gift.
