King Khan of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan turned 54 on Saturday (Nov 2). Khan celebrated the occasion with his family, friends, and fans.
To get a glimpse of the ageless star, a large number of fans gathered today in front of his residence, called Mannat. A sudden rainfall did not dampen their spirits. The mercurial star did not disappoint his fans, and greeted them with his signature wave. On the other hand, almost all the friends and well wishers of Khan, filled his birthday with heart-felt good wishes on social media.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote: "Warmest birthday greetings, Shah Rukh. Wish you good health, and all the success in life my charming brother. We are proud to have you as Brand Ambassador of Bangla. Keep entertaining us with your films. See you at 25th Kolkata International Film Festival."
Khan's long time collaborator, and closest friend Karan Johar shared a series of "throwback" pictures accompanied with a long post. Here is an excerpt from that post: "Happy birthday Bhai...Am not sure words are the best way to describe certain relationships...especially those that have such powerful silences...you have always been such a tremendous influence in my life! Like the best preacher teacher I have had the honour of calling you my family..."
Shah Rukh's costar of many blockbuster hits Kajol Devgan shared a photo of them with the post: "Happy happy birthday to my sweet friend. To many more smiles like this! Have a wonderful day."
Among other notable stars who wished Khan, were Preity Zinta, Malaika Arora Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Raveena Tandon, Sonu Sood, Sonali Kulkarni, and Vicky Kaushal.
