John Cena's Instagram account is an interesting one. He posts random images on the photo-sharing app, and does not provide captions. His fans are free to interpret the images as they like.
So when the professional wrestler posted online an image of Shah Rukh Khan, a lot of his Indian fans were quick to say that Cena was smitten by the Bollywood heartthrob.
Cena's recent post has a picture of SRK with the message "It's not necessary that the world will accept your creativity but don't give up on it" superimposed.
Interestingly, this wasn't the first time Khan has made his way to Cena's account as back in January, Cena had posted another picture of the Bollywood actor.
Cena apparently became a fan of the actor after stumbling across Khan's TED talks. In December, Cena took to Twitter to post a link to an article regarding Khan's talk.
"This was randomly put up in a small article by @theCHIVE very glad i stumbled across it https://ted.com/talks/shah_rukh_khan_thoughts_on_humanity_fame_and_love?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tedspread--a … via @TEDTalks," tweeted the WWE star.
Khan replied back writing, "thx for taking out time to ‘See’ it. Wish I can ‘See u’ someday. Love & health to u my man," to which Cena replied: "You as well sir. Your perspective on life is one I strive to attain, that, and being visible of course. #Cyberspaceghost."
Khan is not the first Indian celebrity to be featured in Cena's instagram. Bollywood actors Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and cricketers Kapil Dev, Rahul Dravid have also had mentions.
