Mumbai: Fans of Shah Rukh Khan eagerly anticipate his birthday each year, but this year’s celebration of his 60th birthday turned chaotic.
Traditionally, on his birthday, SRK appears on the balcony of his home, Mannat, to greet the numerous fans gathered outside.
However, this year, due to security concerns, Shah Rukh did not come out to meet them. He took to social media to apologise to his fans for not being able to greet them: “Have been advised by authorities that I will not be able to step out and greet all you lovely people who have been waiting for me. 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 (sic)”.
Every year, a large number of people travel from all over the country to catch a glimpse of Shah Rukh Khan on his birthday. This influx of fans can make it challenging for authorities to manage the crowd, which also raises potential security concerns for both Shah Rukh and his admirers.
To provide a safer experience, SRK hosted a closed-door fan meeting event in Mumbai, where he showcased his stylish look in a grey beanie and glasses.
He also shared a video on his official Instagram account, showing himself surrounded by a massive crowd of cheering fans. In the clip, King Khan is seen smiling and waving, accompanied by a caption that highlights the excitement of the moment. “Thank you for making my birthday special as always. Full of gratitude… and those of you I couldn’t meet, I will see you soon. In the theatres and at the next birthday. Love u…(sic).”
Following the indoor meet with the fans, King Khan also stepped out for some time to greet the massive crowd gathered outside the venue.
In an exclusive video shot by IANS, SRK was seen coming out of the venue and walking behind a barricade, waving at his admirers. However, some fans tried to get closer, reaching out to shake hands and touch SRK. As the situation turned chaotic, the security personnel quickly intervened, escorting him away.
