Deepika Padukone holds Shah Rukh Khan’s son AbRam close at Jawan screening

Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan’s son AbRam watched Jawan on Wednesday

Before showing it to the world, Shah Rukh Khan showed his masala actioner, Jawan, to his friends in the Hindi film industry and his family on Wednesday. A special screening of the Atlee directorial was held in Mumbai. Deepika Padukone, who has a special appearance in the movie, also attended the screening and a picture of her from it where she is with Shah Rukh’s younger son AbRam appeared on the internet.

In the photo, Deepika is posing for the camera with the guests at the screening and is holding AbRam close. AbRam, dressed in a white t-shirt and black shorts, looks cute as a button in the photo as he smiles for the shutterbugs. Deepika is also smiling from ear to ear in the picture. Gauri Khan’s mother Savita Chibber stood next to her grandson in the photo.

Deepika and Shah Rukh share a close bond. The two have a 100% success rate as all their films together (Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, Happy New Year and Pathaan) have been blockbuster hits. With Jawan, the two stars have seemingly added another hit to their name.
