Shah Rukh Khan Celebrates His 60th Birthday: A Global Festival Honoring the King of Bollywood

Introduction: The King Turns 60, But Time Stands Still

Shah Rukh Khan, the eternal "King of Bollywood," celebrated his 60th birthday on November 2, 2025, and the world turned into a festival. From Alibaug to Los Angeles, from Kolkata to Cairo, fans marked the day with fireworks, flash mobs, and heartfelt tributes.
The superstar, known for his humility and charm, celebrated with a grand fan meet, a star-studded Alibaug party, and messages from celebrities, politicians, and fans worldwide.

A Celebration Like No Other: Global Fans Unite

As the clock struck midnight, hundreds of fans gathered outside Mannat, Shah Rukh’s iconic Mumbai residence. Streets were filled with banners, LED screens playing his movie clips, and fans singing Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam in unison.

However, due to safety concerns, SRK skipped the traditional Mannat balcony appearance this year. Later, he posted an emotional note thanking fans and expressing regret for not greeting them in person, as advised by security officials.

“Your love is my greatest birthday gift. I may not have stepped out, but I felt every heartbeat of yours from inside Mannat,” he shared on X (formerly Twitter).

The Fan Meet Extravaganza: A 3-Tier Cake, Cheers & Zinda Banda

In true SRK style, the actor hosted a special fan event where he cut a 3-tier cake and grooved to his blockbuster song Zinda Banda. Videos of the event went viral, showing fans cheering “SRK! SRK!” as the megastar thanked them for decades of support.

During the event, he shared fun anecdotes from his career — including how he convinced Aditya Chopra to cast him in Chak De India and how he once lost a football match to the Australian women’s team 7–0!

“It’s been a wonderful journey. I am who I am because of all of you,” SRK told fans, visibly emotional.

SRK’s 60th birthday bash at his Alibaug farmhouse was a glittering affair.
Guests included Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Shilpa Shetty, and Anupam Kher.
Farah Khan shared glimpses of the night on Instagram, writing,

“Our King turns 60, but the energy is 16! What a night of laughter, love, and nostalgia.”

The event was described as “intimate yet grand”, echoing SRK’s signature blend of grace and glamour.
