Shah Rukh Khan turned 60 on November 2, 2025, and while the milestone was filled with love and excitement from fans around the world, this year’s celebration in Mumbai took a different turn.
Every year, the actor greets thousands of admirers gathered outside his home, Mannat, waving from the balcony in a tradition that has become iconic. But this time, the crowd was asked to disperse after authorities advised Khan not to step out due to safety and crowd control concerns. Mannat is also undergoing renovation, adding to the restrictions.
In a message on X (formerly Twitter), SRK wrote, “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 have been informed that it is for the overall safety of everyone due to crowd control issues.”
Even though fans couldn’t see him in person, they were still buzzing online—especially after Khan revealed the first look from his upcoming film King just hours after his birthday celebrations began. His salt-and-pepper appearance in Siddharth Anand’s movie drew massive attention, with fans flooding social media with birthday wishes and excitement over the new look. Many are already eagerly awaiting the film’s release and wondering why they have to wait until 2026 to watch it.
Meanwhile, fans in Mumbai will still get a chance to meet the superstar at a special fan club event at Bal Gandharva Rang Mandir Auditorium in Bandra, where SRK is expected to make an appearance later in the day.
