Indian all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer is making the most of his time away from cricket with an enchanting holiday in Turkey. Known for his versatile cricketing skills and vibrant personality, Iyer has taken a well-deserved break from the sport and is currently enjoying some downtime in the picturesque locales of Cappadocia.
The highlight of his vacation has undoubtedly been his tribute to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. On Thursday, July 18, Venkatesh took to Instagram to share a captivating video of himself striking Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic pose, famously known as the “open arms” pose, against the stunning backdrop of Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys and hot air balloons.

In the video, Venkatesh Iyer perfectly mimics Shah Rukh’s signature pose from the 1995 film “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,” where the actor famously spreads his arms wide while standing on a picturesque train platform. This pose has become emblematic of Shah Rukh Khan’s charismatic and larger-than-life screen presence. Venkatesh captioned the post with a playful nod to the Bollywood star, writing: “Never too late for this trend … @iamsrk.”
What makes this homage even more special is the connection between Venkatesh Iyer and Shah Rukh Khan.

His Instagram post has not only delighted his fans but also reinforced his connection with the Bollywood icon. The video has quickly garnered attention, with fans and fellow cricketers alike celebrating the fun and light-hearted gesture.
As Iyer continues to enjoy his holiday, it’s evident that his sense of humor and charm remain as strong as ever. With his return to cricket on the horizon, this memorable trip to Turkey and his tribute to Shah Rukh Khan will undoubtedly add a touch of joy and inspiration to his journey both on and off the field.
