Shah Rukh Khan fans meet and greet
Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his 60th birthday on November 2. To mark the occasion, he hosted an intimate bash with close friends at Alibaug, followed by a meet-and-greet event with over 300 fans. He greeted his admirers with his iconic open-arms pose, sending the entire auditorium into a frenzy. After that, he cut a cake and grooved to his popular Jawan song.
As Shah Rukh Khan stepped onto the stage in blue jeans, a black T-shirt, an off-white jacket, black sunglasses, and a beanie, the crowd burst into cheers. A highlight of the celebration was Khan cutting a three-tier cake decorated with a golden crown. He was joined by his longtime manager, Pooja Dadlani.
Not just that, he also danced to the song Zinda Banda from Jawan. In a viral clip from the event, SRK shared an emotional anecdote about his film Chak De! India. He revealed, "I did Chak De! India as a tribute to my father," adding that his father, Meer Taj Mohammed Khan, was a hockey player himself.
Sharing glimpses from the event on social media, Shah Rukh expressed his gratitude. He wrote, "Thank you for making my birthday special as always. Full of gratitude⦠and those of you I couldn't meet, I will see you soon - in theatres and at the next birthday. Love you."
Prior to the fan meet, SRK cancelled his yearly Mannat appearance due to crowd control issues. Apologising to his fans, he wrote, "I have been advised by authorities that I will not be able to step out and greet all you lovely people who have been waiting for me. My deepest apologies to all of you, but I have been informed that it is for everyone's safety due to crowd control concerns. Thank you for understanding, and believe me - I will miss seeing you more than you will. I was looking forward to sharing love with you all. Love you."
To make his birthday even more special, the makers of King unveiled the film's striking first look. King is slated for a 2026 release and promises Shah Rukh Khan in a breathtaking new avatar - sharp, menacing, and undeniably stylish. The announcement video showcases SRK with silver hair, distinctive ear cuffs, and an ice-cold aura that signals his return in a darker, edgier form. In the glimpse, Khan delivers a line that has already set the internet buzzing: "Darr nahi, dehshat hoon - KING."
