Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan made headlines in the capital on Thursday after paying a surprise visit to the soon-to-open Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, ahead of its grand public opening this Saturday.
The superstar duo, who are in the UAE for prior commitments, were given an exclusive pre-opening tour of the landmark attraction, which is set to become one of the region’s most important cultural and scientific institutions. Museum officials welcomed the actors and guided them through the cutting-edge galleries featuring ancient fossils, rare meteorites, and immersive exhibits that map the incredible story of life on Earth.
Excitement rippled through the venue as visitors and staff caught sight of the icons. A few lucky fans managed to snap quick selfies before the Khans continued their guided walkthrough. Their presence added a burst of star power to the museum’s final preparations ahead of its big debut.
The surprise visit also underscored the strong cultural connection between Bollywood and the UAE, adding even more buzz around the museum’s much anticipated opening this weekend.
