November 2, 2025, marked a significant milestone for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as he celebrated his 60th birthday. Fans around the world joined in commemorating the special occasion, eagerly awaiting his customary appearance from the balcony of his iconic residence, Mannat. For years, this tradition has drawn thousands of admirers hoping to catch a glimpse of the King Khan.
However, this year brought a change to the beloved ritual. Due to ongoing renovations at Mannat and concerns over crowd control, Shah Rukh Khan was advised by authorities not to step out and meet the gathered fans. Prioritizing safety, he made the difficult decision to skip the balcony meet this year.
In a heartfelt message posted on X (formerly Twitter), SRK expressed his sincere apologies to his fans:
“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.”
Despite the enthusiasm and overflowing love from fans who assembled outside Mannat, the large crowd was asked to disperse to maintain safety protocols. While disappointing for many, this decision put the well-being of everyone first.
To keep the birthday celebrations interactive and joyful, a special meet and greet session was organized by Shah Rukh Khan’s fan club at the Bal Gandharva Rang Mandir Auditorium in Bandra, Mumbai. This event gave many fortunate fans the opportunity to meet their superstar in person, continuing the festive spirit despite the change in the traditional Mannat gathering.
Across the globe, fans flooded social media with warm wishes, heartfelt tributes, and admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, making his 60th birthday a memorable event filled with love and celebration.
