Shah Rukh Khan celebrates his 61st birthday on November 2, with fans and landmarks across India and abroad marking the occasion. Several outlets report that he greets fans from outside a venue after birthday celebrations and sends messages to his supporters despite skipping his usual appearance routine at his Mumbai home, Mannat.
The coverage includes wishes from other Bollywood figures on social media, alongside public tributes. Free Press Journal reports that Mumbai’s Bandra-Worli Sea Link is illuminated with a “King” tribute, while Dubai’s Burj Khalifa also displays birthday messages. NDTV adds that Khan thanks fans in a note, saying he is “sending mine right back” and that celebrations take place in and around Mannat.
Times of India reports Khan temporarily moved out and therefore did not appear on the Mannat balcony. It says fans instead saw a billboard showing his handwritten birthday thank-you note, along with visuals and dialogues linked to his upcoming film “King,” including the first song released at midnight. Other reports focus on his brief public appearances, such as blowing flying kisses to fans, and on his family gathering at a Mumbai hotel.
