A local politician from Vadodara, Farid Khan Sherani, died of cardiac arrest on Monday while trying to catch a glimpse of actor Shah Rukh Khan at the Vadodara railway station. The station was teeming with fans of the Bollywood superstar, who arrived on board the August Kranti Express to promote his upcoming film 'Raees'.

Sherani had arrived at the station platform with his wife and daughter, all three huge fans of the actor. Reports say he fell unconscious after suffering a heart attack at the platform and though he was taken to the hospital, he was declared dead. Earlier reports even said that he felt suffocated during the stampede and suffered the attack as a result of that.
