Superstar Shah Rukh Khan joined his Bollywood colleagues Mandira Bedi, Kunal Kohli, Tarun Mansukhani and Punit Malhotra to create his own 'selfie' moment a day after Hollywood chat show host Ellen DeGeneres's selfie shot at Oscars 2014.

A selfie is a self-clicked photograph.

Anchor-actress Mandira Bedi posted the Bollywood selfie on Twitter with the caption: "We had our own selfie moment."

Shah Rukh is the star attraction of the selfie, which was clicked during a bash thrown by luxury watch brand Tag Heuer, endorsed by King Khan.

The picture has received over 750 retweets and it has been favourited over 1,200 times so far.

Hollywood's star-studded impromptu selfie, initiated by DeGeneres and captured by Bradley Cooper, featured the two celebrities along with names like Jennifer Lawrence, Jared Leto, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Lupita Nyong'o and her brother Peter.

It was a standout moment at the 86th Academy Awards, held at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre Sunday. The picture received over 1.1 million retweets within just half an hour.
