Like every year, hordes of Shah Rukh's fans gathered outside his iconic residence, Mannat, located in Bandra, Mumbai, in hopes of catching a glimpse of their beloved actor. Security measures were heightened outside his residence to maintain order among the eager fans.

Social media platforms were flooded with photos and videos of starstruck fans from various cities who came to wish SRK on his special day.

Earlier in the day, Shah Rukh left Mannat to attend an event in the city, and his departure drew fans who wanted to be near their favourite actor. The police were vigilant in managing the crowd, ensuring the situation didn't get out of hand.

At midnight, Shah Rukh Khan appeared on the balcony of his bungalow to greet hundreds of his ardent fans. He expressed his gratitude with folded hands, blew kisses, and struck his signature open-arms pose. For the occasion, he wore a black t-shirt paired with camouflage pants, along with a black cap and sunglasses.
