New Delhi, November 3, 2025: A grand fan meet-and-greet event was hosted in Mumbai to celebrate the 60th birthday of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The celebration was arranged for over 300 fans, many of whom had travelled from different parts of the world, including France, Germany, and the US.
The venue, the Bal Gandharva Rang Mandir Auditorium in Bandra, was selected for the occasion, as the star’s customary public appearance outside his residence, Mannat, was cancelled earlier due to crowd control and safety concerns. This dedicated gathering was seen as the actor’s gesture to acknowledge the unwavering love of his admirers, affectionately known as the ‘King’s fans’.
The highlight of the fan celebration was captured in a viral video that quickly was shared across all major social media platforms. In the clip, the actor is observed standing on stage, where a magnificent three-tier cake is placed. The cake was notably adorned with a golden crown, a symbol often associated with the ‘Badshah’ of Bollywood.
The cake was cut by Shah Rukh Khan, with his longtime manager, Pooja Dadlani, also participating in the ceremonial moment, as their birthdays are shared. A wave of cheers and applause was heard from the auditorium, a moment that was recorded and preserved by hundreds of fans on their mobile phones.

The immense effort involved in organising such a large-scale meet-and-greet is appreciated as a sign of the actor’s commitment to his fan base. This viral moment is being added to the long list of iconic fan interactions that have defined the superstar’s celebrated career.
