As usual ritual, fans gathered outside Mannat, Shah Rukh’s iconic sea view bungalow in Bandra, just before midnight to mark the special occasion with cheers and celebrations.


A fan came with 59 crown-shaped balloons, while a young girl recreated SRK’s signature wide-arm pose.


However, due to security measures, some were unable to gather outside Mannat, adding a bittersweet note to the celebrations.


Since last night, more than six officers and a police van were stationed in front of the actor’s house.


Among the devoted fans was Sudhir Kothari from Chennai, who heads the SRK Chennai Fan Club.


For Kothari and his fellow members of the fan club, Shah Rukh’s birthday is a special event that they celebrate every year with great enthusiasm. This year they presented him with a unique ceramic figure representing his character from “Jawan”.


“Every year we celebrate his birthday outside his house but there were restrictions in Mumbai so we were not allowed to stand outside his house. So we had a party with our club members at a venue here, we got banners and posters for Shah Rukh sir, and danced to his songs,” Kothari told PTI.


As part of the birthday celebrations, SRK traditionally organizes a meet-and-greet with his fans, who come from across the country.


“The respect, time and love he gives to his fans is something no other star does. Every time he meets us he asks us about our family. Then fans ask him various questions like how he is so positive, how down to earth he is, how he politely answers us about his work,” Kothari said.


The actor, popularly known as SRK or King Khan, is considered one of the last superstars of Hindi cinema apart from Salman Khan and Aamir Khan.


He rose to fame with memorable roles in films like “Baazigar”, “Darr” and “Anjaam”, and effortlessly crossed over into diverse genres from romance to drama to action with films like “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge”, “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai ”, “Veer Zaara”, “Chak De! India”, “Paheli”, “Swades”, “Don”, “Pathaan” and “Jawan”.


Birthday wishes for King Khan also poured in from his colleagues in the film industry.


Kareena Kapoor Khan wrote, “Happy Birthday King,” with a heart emoji.


Katrina Kaif wished Shah Rukh and said, “There is no one like you.”


Filmmaker Farah Khan, who has worked with Shah Rukh in three films ‘Main Hoon Na’, ‘Om Shanti Om’ and ‘Happy New Year’, extended his birthday wishes to the actor with throwback pictures.


“Lots of great memories and many more to make.. happy birthday SHAH @iamsrk,” the filmmaker wrote.


Riteish Deshmukh posted a picture of him, his wife Genelia and Shah Rukh, while wishing SRK good health and happiness.


“Congratulations to the king of our hearts @iamsrk, we wish only the best for you,” Deshmukh said.


The superstar’s last release was Rajkumar Hirani’s comedy-drama “Dunki” in 2023.


In the same year, Shah Rukh delivered two blockbusters-action thriller ‘Pathaan’ directed by Sidharth Anand and action film ‘Jawan’ by South filmmaker Atlee.


Shah Rukh will next be seen in a film titled “King”. The film, which also stars his daughter Suhana Khan, is directed by ‘Kahaani’ fame Sujoy Ghosh.
