The Three Khans Set to Share Stage in Riyadh This Week
In what promises to be a landmark moment for Indian cinema, Bollywood’s three biggest superstars—Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan—will appear together at Joy Forum 2025 in Saudi Arabia, fulfilling a long-cherished dream of fans worldwide.
The historic gathering will take place on Friday, October 17, at SEF Arena, Boulevard City, Riyadh, during the two-day global entertainment summit scheduled for October 16-17. This marks the first time all three Khans will participate in a joint dialogue session, an event that has sent waves of excitement through the Bollywood community.
Official Confirmation
The announcement came from Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority (GEA), who confirmed the news via social media on October 10. “Cinema Stars in One Place…Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan come together as speakers in a dialogue session at Joy Forum 2025 on October 17,” he tweeted.
While the Saudi government’s official website had initially announced only Aamir Khan’s participation on October 7, the confirmation of all three superstars appearing together came three days later, transforming the event into a must-watch spectacle.
A Dream Deferred, But Not Forgotten
For decades, fans across generations and continents have hoped to see the three Khans collaborate in a film. Each actor has expressed openness to the idea, contingent on finding the perfect script. While that cinematic dream remains unfulfilled, this upcoming appearance offers fans a rare opportunity to see their favorite stars share a platform.
Shah Rukh’s Return to Joy Forum
This won’t be Shah Rukh Khan’s first appearance at the prestigious forum. He attended the 2019 edition, where his viral selfie with action legend Jackie Chan and filmmaker Jean-Claude Van Damme created a social media frenzy.
Star-Studded Lineup
Joy Forum 2025 boasts an impressive roster of global personalities beyond the Bollywood trio. Attendees include YouTube sensation MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), UFC President Dana White, British broadcaster Piers Morgan, and UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones, among other influential figures from entertainment, technology, media, and policy sectors.
