Movies about Washing feet
Tvrzení: Photo which shows Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) washing his right foot in a wash basin.
Skutečnost: This is a Behind The Scenes (BTS) still of a scene from the 2017 film ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal.’ This scene appears right towards the climax of the film. Hence, the claim made in the post is Zavádějící.
We ran the viral photo through the Google reverse image search to learn more about it. This search led us to a tweet from 2021 that contained this photo.

To sum it up, this photo of Shah Rukh Khan washing his feet in a wash basin is a BTS still of the movie Jab Harry Met Sejal.
What Holy Thursday foot washing can teach us about inclusivity and love
I distinctly remember seeing an image on social media a few years ago portraying Jesus washing the feet of several different and polarizing characters, including former presidents. Many shared the image with a commentary focused on the idea of Jesus as being egalitarian, but this interpretation and image of Holy Thursday is missing a few important points.
Washing feet in general is an unglamorous action. To crouch at someone’s feet puts the washer in a vulnerable posture and requires engaging directly with a body part that has close proximity to an endless buffet of dirt and germs. Anyone who has cared for the elderly or for a person who is unable to perform certain hygiene functions themselves understands the unique intimacy of this interaction, which makes requirements on the dignity of both people.
When we look at Jesus washing feet and substitute different contentious characters in the scene, we remove the focus on intimacy in favor of a pop-art style shock– the washing of the feet as an iteration of Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup paintings.
Jesus makes intimacy the point when he says, «So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example so that you should do as I have done for you. Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him» (John 13:14-16).
Nowhere in the Gospels is Jesus concerned with status. One of the most attractive and frankly mysterious qualities Jesus possesses is his ability to disrupt the typical flow of a social interaction because he simply does not behave according to expectations.
The washing of the disciples’ feet is a great example of this. At various parishes, I have seen an emphasis on the «service» theme that Jesus refers to in the Scripture, with members of the congregation chosen to have their feet washed due to their volunteer work or other contributions to the church.
But this emphasis is only part of the picture, an extremely literal interpretation of this aspect of the story. «Jesus said wash people’s feet, so we’re going to wash some feet!» Yes, but what follows?
A new commandment. After setting the stage with the institution of the Eucharist at the Lord’s Supper and the washing of the feet, Jesus is ready to introduce a teaching so significant that he calls it a new commandment: Love one another. «As I have loved you, so you also must love one another» (John 13:34).
The washing of the feet, then, was never meant as a photo op or an Instagrammable moment (despite how iconic of an image it has now become), but instead a demonstration. This is what Jesus meant when he said to love one another. To humble yourself, to reach out and meet the other in what is messy.
As a transgender Catholic living in America in 2023, I wonder what our church could learn if we put this type of humble, messy love into practice, if we were less concerned with status and power dynamics and more interested in meeting people on the margins. Jesus was never someone who cared about social status or about what people would say about him. He was deeply concerned with the dignity of the human person.
Sometimes society doesn’t know what to do with us. But without hesitation, I know Jesus prefers us to be both present and visible. He would absolutely seek to spend time with transgender people.

Many trans people have been on both sides of the foot-washing exchange. We rely on the love and support of friends, family, doctors and other allies as we go through transition. And we walk with our cisgender friends and family as they adjust to the changes that come along with our journey.
Sometimes society doesn’t know what to do with us and would prefer that we not be present or visible. But without hesitation, I know Jesus prefers us to be both present and visible. He would absolutely seek to spend time with transgender people. All Christians, whether part of the LGBTQ community or not, should strive to live out the new commandment this way.
This year, mere weeks before Easter, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops released a document affirming a binary view of gender, rejecting the existence of transgender identities and calling transgender health care a disordered practice. Instead of humbly acknowledging that it is our responsibility to love transgender people even if we do not understand their experience, the bishops’ document serves to shore up political power among conservative Catholics and «take a stand» in America’s culture wars.
Recognizing the dignity of another person is an active process that requires going out of your comfort zone, as is depicted in the picture of foot washing. Jesus’ behavior throughout the Gospels is evidence of this: He never sat back and issued judgments on groups of people. Instead, he went out to meet people where they were. On their own turf. In their own words.
To truly celebrate the mystery of Holy Week, we are called to meet people where they are — and transgender people are in the pews. We are at the grocery store, at school, in the home, living out the beautiful mystery of our lives.
Leveling theological rejections at people who are humbling themselves before God looks nothing like the example of Jesus. Maybe instead, the church can meet in a mutual intimacy of shared vulnerability — like washing each other’s feet.

What are we to make of the story of Jesus washing feet? This act was meant to give Jesus’ disciples a dramatic example of love to follow so that they could continue being like Jesus for each other after he had left the earth.
Příběh
Here is the basic story of Jesus washing his disciples’ feet, as narrated by the apostle John: “It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.” (John 13:1-5) I’ve had a fond connection to this story ever since listening to Michael Card’s wonderful song, “The Basin and the Towel.” That’s not how the original participants in the story would have felt about the actual event. Let’s look at the disciples’ response to this intrusion on their sense of decorum.
Jesus Washing Their Feet Didn’t Feel Good
Having their feet washed by Jesus was uncomfortable enough that Peter, often the spokesman of the disciples, flat out told him, “No. You shall never wash my feet” (John 13:8). This wasn’t the first time Peter told Jesus no. There was the time Jesus had caused a miraculous catch of fish for Peter, and he had responded, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man” (Luke 5:8). Then there was the time when Jesus mentioned his upcoming crucifixion and Peter said, “Never, Lord! This shall never happen to you!” (Matt. 16:22). All three times, Peter felt Jesus had crossed a line with excessive servanthood and grace. Here, Jesus was embarrassingly underdressed, in his undergarment plus a towel around his waist. Kneeling in the posture of a literal servant, he washed their feet with water and dried them—apparently 24 in all—on the towel around his waist. This was a humbling job reserved for an undistinguished servant. It wasn’t merely a ceremonial gesture; their sandaled feet were covered in dirt, dust, and sand. Who had it worse? Honestly, I’m not sure. Jesus’ job was grubby and smelly and looked humiliating. Yet it would be the rare disciple who wouldn’t feel sheepish and even guilty for being the recipient of this attention. This was their Lord and Master, the Messiah who would soon lead them to victory over their enemies. What did this slavish display say about him? What did it say about jim and their level of neediness? They had probably never felt so awkward.
“What did it say about them and their level of neediness? They had probably never felt so awkward.”
It’s hard to say who had it worse here, much like when a nursing home worker has to change an adult’s diaper. As little as we like to admit it, we’re not unlike a needy nursing home resident in our need for Jesus’ compassionate care, without which we remain in self-made messes. As Jesus put it, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me” (John 13:8b).
Jesus Washing Their Feet Didn’t Make Sense
It wouldn’t have been confusing that Jesus loved his disciples and wanted to show them kindness in some way. He was always showing compassion to people who needed his help. What would be confusing is for his closest disciples to find themselves taking such a needy posture. They themselves had helped Jesus carry out his ministry for needy people. Such a servile display would have made them question their status as well as his. His explanation didn’t resolve the confusion. In a nutshell, his explanation for washing their feet was that, as their Master (kurios), he was washing their feet, so they needed to follow his example and wash each other’s feet: When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.” (John 13:12-16)
“Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.”
That seems like an odd way to put things. By definition, the master is the one whose feet should get washed by the servant. He’s redefining roles so dramatically that it becomes unclear who’s who. He’s clearly their leader, and yet he’s washing their feet. So, does that make jim the masters in some sense? No, because then he tells them to do the same for each other as he does for them. He turns the point of being in charge on its head.
Why Jesus Washed Feet
- “Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father.” (13:1a)
- “He had come from God and was returning to God.” (13:3b)
- Jesus told them, “Where I am going, you cannot come.” (13:33b)
- Jesus told them, “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.” (13:36b)
When Jesus left, it would not be a waking from a dream for the disciples. It would be the passing of a baton. By teaching his disciples to wash each other’s feet, Jesus had in mind the continuation of his mission to make more disciples who would believe in him: “As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:34b-35).
Jesus washing feet: “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
It wasn’t going to be easy without Jesus. Judas was already planning to betray him (13:21). Longtime followers would disown Jesus under pressure (13:38). In the midst of betrayal and denial, they were going to miss Jesus’ reassuring, compassionate guidance.
How could they survive without Jesus being there in the flesh, walking with them? They would need to be Jesus for each other. They would need to do for each other what Jesus had taught them to do by example. They would wash each other’s feet. By doing so, they would be reminded of better days both behind and ahead of them. By imitating Jesus, they’d be giving each other important reminders of where they had come from and where they were headed.
Remembering where he had come from and where he was going is what gave Jesus motivation to wash his disciples’ feet in the first place:
“Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.” (John 13:3-5)
We all wish we could see Jesus in the flesh, and someday we will. In the meantime, he’s given us ways to embody his example for each other.

5 Reasons to Wash Each Other’s Feet
We wash each other’s feet today by serving each other in ways that don’t puff up our own pride. Washing the feet of imperfect people, especially those who betray and deny us, won’t often feel good or make sense in the moment. Why do it? Here are 5 reasons from John 13 to serve each other in servant-like ways.
1. Jesus told us to.
Jesus didn’t stay enigmatic about why he was washing their feet. Again, he was setting an example he expected his followers to follow. “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you” (John 13:14-15). Enough said on that question. The question for us needs to shift from if na jak.
2. It’ll help us become more like Jesus.
Jesus may have been self-effacing in his posture, but he never pretended to be something other than what he is: “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am.” As our rabbi and Lord, Jesus isn’t merely a podcast we tune into once in a while. He’s our God and our guide, and we want more than anything to become like ho. We do this by keeping him front and center of our vision: “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasingly glory” (2 Cor. 3:18a).
As Philippians 2:3-5 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” We wash feet so that we can become more like Jesus.
“We wash feet so that we can become more like Jesus.”
3. We’ll be blessed.
Why did Jesus wash his disciples’ feet? Again, it was so that they would do the same for each other. But why should they do the same for each other? In doing so, they would be blessed. Jesus explained, “Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them” (John 13:17). Let’s not miss that the blessing is not in knowing what Jesus said, but in doing what he modeled.
4. We’ll be loving each other in concrete ways.
This is the same chapter in which Jesus gives disciples a revolutionary command: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (John 13:34). The command to love people wasn’t new (e.g., see Lev. 19:18). Although the word “love” can be just as malleable as the word “neighbor,” the command to love each other as he loved us brings a disruptive concreteness into view.
By washing their feet, Jesus was giving his disciples concrete, tangible ways to carry out this radical command. And let’s remember that this command was given in the context of sadness over Jesus leaving. When we love each other as he loves us, we remind each other of him. Collectively, we function as his body on earth (1 Cor. 12:12ff).
“When we love each other as he loves us, we remind each other of him.”
5. More people will come to know Jesus.
If we take the time to wash each other’s feet in ways that mirror Jesus’ love, what’s the result? Jesus tells us: “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35).
“Washing feet” in our various ways may seem radical, but it actually makes a lot of sense, given the reasons Jesus gave.
