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.
