November 2, 2025, marked a significant milestone for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as he celebrated his 60th birthday, an occasion eagerly awaited and celebrated by fans around the world.
Traditionally, Shah Rukh Khan greets his admirers from the balcony of his iconic residence, Mannat, a moment that draws thousands of fans hoping for a glimpse of the King Khan. However, this year’s celebration was notably different.

Due to ongoing renovations at Mannat and concerns over crowd control, the authorities advised Shah Rukh Khan not to step out and meet the gathered fans this year. In a heartfelt message posted on X (formerly Twitter), SRK expressed his sincere apologies to his fans, stating:
> “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 large crowd that had assembled outside Mannat was asked to disperse in order to maintain safety protocols, despite the enthusiasm and love the fans brought to the occasion. While disappointing for many, the decision prioritized the well-being of everyone involved.
### Alternative Celebration: Meet and Greet at Bandra
To keep the birthday celebrations interactive and joyous, a meet and greet session was organized by Shah Rukh Khan’s fan club at the Bal Gandharva Rang Mandir Auditorium in Bandra, Mumbai. Many fans seized the opportunity to meet the superstar there, ensuring the festive spirit remained alive despite the change in traditional celebrations.
### Fans Worldwide Shower Shah Rukh Khan with Love
