Is this Suhana Khan in 'King'? Fans spot mystery girl in Shah Rukh-Deepika's song

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone's latest song from their upcoming film 'King' has given fans more than just a glimpse of their on-screen romance. The music video of 'Tu Mil Jaaye', released on the occasion of Shah Rukh's 61st birthday on Monday, has sparked speculation about Suhana Khan's appearance in the film, with viewers claiming to have spotted the actress in a brief, mysterious sequence.

The discussion centres on a fleeting shot that appears towards the two-minute mark of the video. While the romantic number features Shah Rukh and Deepika in several colourful settings, a sudden shift to an action sequence has caught the attention of eagle-eyed viewers. The frame shows a young woman standing in front of a house engulfed in flames. Although her face is not visible, fans believe the figure could be Suhana, potentially offering the first glimpse of her character in the film.

Suhana Khan in 'King'? Here's what fans spotted

The brief appearance has triggered considerable discussion on social media, with viewers analysing the scene and attempting to identify the person in it. Several fans have suggested that the mystery figure could be Suhana, who is expected to share screen space with her father, Shah Rukh, in the film. 

Reacting to the possibility, one social media user asked, "Suhana Khan?"

Another commented, "I guess this is suhana khan from the new song of King."

A third viewer speculated about what the character might be holding, writing, "Is Suhana Khan Holding Head of Something...!!???"

Some fans have also come up with elaborate theories about the possible storyline. One such speculation suggested that Deepika's character could be Suhana's mother and that a violent incident might bring the father-daughter duo together.

"Suhana is holding Deepika's head ..Deepika is playing mother of Suhana.

I think Deepika will be killed by the enemy gang of King and they will chase Suhana also to kill her. Now King has to save Suhana and take his revenge."

Another viewer proposed a different theory involving a family tragedy and a common enemy, commenting, "Yeah Suhana’s whole family will be kiIIed including her mom Rani by the same mafia which killed Deepika. SRK-Suhana uniting to take down the common enemy"

However, the identity of the woman in the fiery sequence has not been officially confirmed by the makers. The online discussions remain fan speculation, and the brief visual does not establish the character's identity or the film's storyline.

'Tu Mil Jaaye' brings Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone together

The speculation surrounding Suhana comes after the release of 'Tu Mil Jaaye', the first song from 'King'. The romantic number features Shah Rukh and Deepika in a series of visually rich sequences, offering a glimpse of their chemistry while also hinting at the film's action-driven narrative.

The track brings together Arijit Singh and Madhubanti Bagchi, with Ed Sheeran contributing an English rap. Sachin-Jigar have composed the music, while Kumaar has written the lyrics. Choreography is by Piyush-Shazia.

'King' also marks another reunion between Shah Rukh and Deepika, who have previously shared screen space in films such as 'Om Shanti Om', 'Chennai Express' and 'Jawan'.
