Another fan wrote, “SRK is following the event protocol. Official photos are taken while awards are being handed out. There’s no reason to troll him for doing his job professionally.” Many fans pointed out that international award ceremonies often follow strict protocols, especially when celebrities are on stage and official photographs are required for media coverage.
