There is exactly one person whose arms-wide-open pose has been imitated at railway stations across the subcontinent, and he absolutely deserves his own sticker pack. The Artkins Shahrukh Khan Vinyl Sticker Pack is here, and if you already know why this matters, keep reading. If you don’t, you’re about to.
The Story Behind the Design
Shahrukh Khan, widely known as SRK, has been called the King of Bollywood since the early 90s — and the title has stuck harder than any vinyl ever could. He didn’t come from a film family. No godfather, no industry connections. He took a train from Delhi to Mumbai and became the most recognizable Indian film star on the planet. That story alone made him a symbol for anyone who ever felt like an outsider trying to make it.
But the real reason SRK lives rent-free in so many hearts is the characters. Raj. Rahul. The names themselves are a joke and a love language at the same time — desi families named their kids after these guys. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, released in 1995, ran in a single Mumbai cinema for over 25 years straight. The open arms pose from that film’s ending is so iconic it has its own platform at Maratha Mandir station.
The stickers in this pack pull from that whole universe: the poses, the expressions, the dialogue that people who grew up on SRK movies can still recite word for word. Artkins rendered all of it in original fan art with a modern, playful style that hits differently when it’s stuck on your laptop in a Toronto coffee shop or a London flat.
The Details
Each sticker is printed on premium glossy vinyl with UV-resistant ink. The material is waterproof, scratch-resistant, and dishwasher-safe on hard smooth surfaces. Every sticker is individually die-cut for clean edges and easy peel-and-apply. The adhesive is strong enough to survive gym bags, commutes, and travel without lifting or bubbling. Sticks to laptops, water bottles, phone cases, planners, notebooks, and car dashboards.
The Ideal Gift For
The person in your life who has watched DDLJ more than five times. The one who quotes SRK in completely unrelated situations and somehow it always lands. Works beautifully as a birthday gift, a sangeet favour, or just a Friday treat for yourself. Pair it with an Artkins SRK mug or graphic tee for a full fan moment. If someone in your family still does the arms pose in photos, you already know who this is for.
How to Enjoy It
Clean the surface first — a quick wipe removes oils and dust so the adhesive grips properly. Peel slowly from a corner, press down firmly, and smooth out from the center. Laptop lids are the obvious move, but these also look sharp on a water bottle lineup, a planner cover, or a phone case. Mix a few SRK stickers with other Artkins designs for a full desi collage situation. Once they’re on, they stay on.
Shop This Drop
Original fan art, waterproof vinyl, and the undisputed King of Bollywood on every single sticker. This pack is a small thing that makes a big desi statement — grab one for yourself or send it to the SRK fan who deserves it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Shahrukh Khan and why does he have such a huge fan following?
Shahrukh Khan is one of the biggest film stars in the world, with a career spanning over 30 years in Bollywood. He’s known for playing deeply romantic heroes in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. His story — a self-made star from Delhi with no film industry background — is a huge part of why people connect with him so personally.
What is the open arms pose on the stickers a reference to?
It’s from the final scene of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), where SRK’s character runs to catch a departing train. The pose became so iconic that a real Mumbai train station installed a statue of it on the exact platform where the scene was filmed. It’s basically a universal symbol for SRK at this point.
Will these stickers damage my laptop or water bottle when I remove them?
They’re designed with strong but clean adhesive. On most hard smooth surfaces like laptop lids and metal water bottles, they peel off without leaving residue if removed carefully. Avoid textured or painted surfaces if you’re worried about finish damage.
Are the stickers waterproof?
Yes. The vinyl is fully waterproof and scratch-resistant, and the ink is UV-resistant so it won’t fade in sunlight. They’re dishwasher-safe on hard surfaces like mugs or bottles, though hand washing will always extend the life of any sticker.
I’m not desi but I love Bollywood films — will I get the references?
Absolutely. SRK’s films have fans everywhere, and the art in this pack captures the poses and expressions that anyone who’s seen his movies will recognize immediately. You don’t need to have grown up speaking Urdu or Hindi to know exactly what that guitar scene means.
