Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently celebrated his 60th birthday in a grand manner. A photograph from his 60th birthday celebrations has gone viral, sparking a frenzy online. In the photo, Shah Rukh Khan is seen posing with several Mumbai Police officers and a young girl, with his hand gently holding the woman officer`s hand as they pose for the camera.
Although the star cancelled his yearly meet at his residence Mannat, his decision to honour and support the police officer garnered widespread appreciation.
The picture spread across social media platforms within hours, and fans praised the act, calling it “pure class” and “the King of Hearts being himself.” Despite being surrounded by flashing cameras, Shah Rukh remained present enough to make everybody around him feel comfortable and at ease.
Shah Rukh Khan`s 60th birthday celebration
The heartwarming moment occurred during the actor`s 60th birthday celebrations on November 2. The Mumbai Police had cordoned off a one-kilometre stretch around Mannat for crowd control, but the actor had other plans.
He made a surprise appearance at Balgandharv Rang Mandir in Bandra, where a special fan event was held. Around 500 lucky fans with golden and purple passes filled the auditorium, waiting for the moment he walked in. Dressed in a white jacket and a black tee, he entered to loud cheers. He greeted his admirers with his iconic open-arms pose, and the hall shook with chants of “Shah Rukh! Shah Rukh!”
He added to the fanfare and danced to his iconic song Zinda Banda from Jawaan, after which he cut a three-tier cake decorated with a golden crown.
Later, he spoke openly about life and his movies, which included sharing an emotional anecdote about his film Chak de India and his father.
Before wrapping up, Shah Rukh addressed the fans who had waited for hours just to see him. “What makes me feel wanted and loved is when I come and meet you guys,” he said. “Whether I meet you on the streets, outside Mannat, or at an event like this, it makes me happy because I know you’re happy meeting me – and that makes me happy,” he added.
First look of King revealed on birthday
Siddharth Anand, the director of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming movie King, took to his X (formerly Twitter) to drop the announcement video of King on the superstar`s birthday. The striking first look video took the internet by storm. Touted as the director’s most mass-appealing film yet, it pushes the boundaries of action and storytelling to a grand new level.
The teaser shows the actor in an edgy and rustic look, sporting silver hair, and delivering powerful, intense expressions. The transformation, along with breathtaking and gripping stunts, has already created a frenzy among fans.
