Mumbai Shah Rukh Khan marked his 61st birthday on November 2 with an outpouring of well-wishes from the film industry and fans. Salman Khan led the social media tributes late at night, sharing an Instagram Story praying his co-star stays young forever and calling him 'The King.' Shah Rukh responded by resharing the message and explaining he had worked hard on his physique for the film King because of Salman's comment about maintaining a good body without a shirt. The exchange highlighted the enduring camaraderie between the two superstars. Kajol also wished Shah Rukh a happy birthday, calling him an 'absolute rockstar' and sending the biggest hug. Outside his Mumbai residence Mannat, fans had gathered throughout the day with posters and cheered as SRK stepped onto the balcony to greet them with his trademark arms-wide-open pose. Reports indicate the actor celebrated the milestone at a Mumbai hotel with family and close friends, with Salman Khan reportedly among the attendees. The song 'Tu Mil Jaaye' from King was referenced in the birthday exchange, and SRK's physique in the film has been widely praised by colleagues and audiences alike.
