Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, world’s tallest building, lit up to honour Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan on his 56th birthday.
The iconic skyscraper, known for its dazzling views, lit up with the actor’s photo and messages such as “Happy birthday SRK”, “Happy birthday Shah Rukh” and “We love you”.
“Happy birthday @iamsrk from the @noon family,” tweeted Mohamed Alabbar, chairmain of Emaar Properties that owns Burj Khalifa. He also shared a 45-second clip the Shah Rukh Khan special illumination.

Last year too, the Burj was lit up with his name. “It’s nice to see myself on the biggest and tallest screen in the world,” he had written on Instagram, along with a photo in front of the skyscraper.
Shah Rukh Khan’s family reportedly celebrated a quiet birthday this year, which comes just days after son, Aryan Khan, was released on bail on October 30 in drugs-on-cruise case.
Khan's birthday is a festival of sorts for his die-hard fans, some of who turned up outside the actor's Mumbai home, “Mannat”, which was decked up with lights. His fans had also turned up in huge numbers to celebrate Aryan Khan’s homecoming from jail.
On Tuesday, fans stood outside his Mumbai home, “Mannat”, to catch a glimpse of their star, who didn't step out on the balcony every year, only deviating from his customary greetings due to the pandemic last year. On social media, his friends and well-wishers sent their best wishes. Fans of the Bollywood icon and his friends from the industry extended their birthday wishes to the actor on social media. Fans trended hashtags such as #HappyBirthdaySRK, #HappyBirthdayShahRukhKhan, #KingKhan and #srk56, with tens of thousands of wishes pouring in.
