It is Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday today.
Shah Rukh Khan fans who had gathered outside Mannat to catch a glimpse of the superstar on his 60th birthday are in for some disappointment. The actor took to X (formerly Twitter) to apologise and share that he wouldn’t be stepping out to greet them this year.

My deepest apologies to all of you but have been informed that it is for the overall safety of everyone due to crowd control issues..”
The Bollywood superstar further said, “Thank you for understanding and believe me… I will miss seeing you more than you will. Was looking forward to seeing you all and sharing love. Love u all…”

Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th birthday transformed Mumbai’s Bandstand into a sea of excitement as fans from around the globe gathered outside his iconic home, Mannat. Even with Mumbai Police imposing strict crowd-control measures and blocking nearby roads, his admirers found creative ways to make their way to the spot, unwilling to miss their yearly celebration with the superstar.
Videos circulating on social media captured hundreds of Shah Rukh Khan fans taking the seaside route to reach closer to Mannat after police blocked the main road outside. In a clip shared by celebrity photographer Viral Bhayani, fans were seen carefully making their way across the rocky Bandstand stretch, balancing on the slippery stones as they inched toward the superstar’s residence.
Videos showed groups running through the streets, climbing onto barricades, and even approaching Mannat from the beach. Many had travelled long distances, some from other states and even abroad, to be part of what has now become an annual ritual.
Meanwhile, the makers of Shah Rukh’s upcoming action film King released the first look video on his birthday. The teaser features the actor in high-octane action sequences, taking down enemies with ruthless precision.
