The Bollywood actor impressed Gurbaz with his language skills when he replied to the cricketer's greetings in the Afghani language.
Gurbaz was all praise for Shah Rukh Khan and took to Twitter to highlight the incident. "It was nice meeting @iamsrk. Such a lovely person he is and could speak afghan language as well"
Rahmanullah also described the whole incident in his native language.
Gurbaz's tweet became an instant hit as it received a massive response from fans on Twitter.
Shah Rukh Khan visited the dressing room and met players after KKR registered a thumping 81-run victory over Bangalore.
Rahmanullah played a key role in the team's victory as he blasted a 44-ball 57.
With his 57 runs, Gurbaz also became the first player from his country to score a fifty in the Indian Premier League.
This is Gurbaz's first season with Kolkata Knight Riders.
The right-haded batsman was with Gujarat Titans last year.
But KKR purchased him in the auction in November last year.
