Actor Nitanshi Goel has recently gained attention for her role in Laapataa Ladies, which earned her the Best Debut Actress Award at a Filmfare event in Ahmedabad. While making her way up the stage to accept the award, she almost stumbled but was swiftly caught by none other than Shah Rukh Khan, who was hosting the ceremony.
Reflecting on the incident, Nitanshi shared, “Climbing the stage to accept such a significant award meant the world to me. Experiencing Shah Rukh Khan’s chivalry was an entirely different experience, and receiving the award from my idols like Shah Rukh sir, Akshay sir, and Karan sir holds a special place in my heart.”
With a hint of humor, she continued, “Girls dream of moments like this! Being saved from a fall by Shah Rukh sir is a memory I will cherish forever. He even helped me with my trail as I walked up. Words can’t capture how amazing that was.”
Fans quickly started comparing her near-slip to a classic moment from Hollywood actor Jennifer Lawrence at an award ceremony in 2013.

One Reddit user remarked, “Almost had a Jennifer Lawrence fall. Some might say it’s good luck for your career.” This reference was to the time when Jennifer tripped while accepting her award for Silver Linings Playbook.
Nitanshi noted, “I read the comments, and the internet can indeed be quite amusing. As actors, we wear gowns with trains often, and I now truly understand Jennifer’s ‘Kick Walk’ instruction!”
In a previous interview, Jennifer had mentioned that she mistakenly focused on “cake walking” instead of the proper technique.
