\u00a0As Shah Rukh Khan turns 60, fans from across the globe are gearing up to celebrate not just the movie star, but the man who showed them the many shades of love through his films.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, the actor, fondly known as SRK or King Khan, will celebrate his 60th birthday. Often hailed as one of the last true superstars of Hindi cinema, alongside Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh continues to have a global fan following.<\/p>\n
Among them are Claudia Calle and Manigret Aparicio, who have travelled to Mumbai all the way from their home country Peru, just to witness the charm of their beloved star.<\/p>\n
Claudia, an artist by profession, runs the SRK Peru fan club and remembers how she fell in love with the actor after watching his 2004 hit “Veer Zaara”.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw the movie with my husband and I instantly fell in love with Shah Rukh. Afterwards, I watched all of his past films on DVD, including \u2018Karan Arjun\u2019, \u2018Baazigar\u2019, \u2018Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa\u2019 and \u2018Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge\u2019.<\/p>\n
“We are crazy Shah Rukh Khan fans. Our home is a tribute to him, filled with posters and memories. Words can hardly capture our love for him. Shah Rukh means love. We are so looking forward to meeting him,\u201d Claudia told PTI.<\/p>\n
Their admiration for SRK runs so deep that they\u2019ve named their home in Peru \u201cMannat\u201d, inspired by Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s iconic sea-facing residence in Bandra.<\/p>\n
Claudia said they\u2019ve made a special handmade gift for Shah Rukh.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019ve made about 26 to 27 figurines of his popular onscreen characters from different films like \u2018Ra.One\u2019, \u2018Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham\u2019, and \u2018Jawan\u2019, among others,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Delhi-born actor started his acting journey with TV serials such as \u201cFauji\u201d and \u201cCircus\u201d before making his feature film debut with Raj Kanwar\u2019s \u201cDeewana\u201d in 1992.<\/p>\n
Over the years, he captured the hearts of audiences with his unforgettable performances as the brooding hero of \u201cBaazigar\u201d and \u201cDarr\u201d or as the epitome of romance in \u201cDilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge\u201d, “Dil Toh Pagal Hai” and \u201cKuch Kuch Hota Hai\u201d.<\/p>\n
SRK has displayed remarkable range, taking on inspiring roles in Swades and Chak De! India, and reaffirmed his superstardom with two action blockbusters in 2023 — “Pathaan” and “Jawan”.<\/p>\n
Ahead of his birthday, his fan clubs have begun planning a series of celebrations. Two of the biggest — SRK Universe and Team Shah Rukh Khan — boast a significant presence on social media.<\/p>\n
Yash Paryani, co-founder of SRK Universe fan club, which has 613K followers on X and 147K on Instagram, said they\u2019re doing a lot of charity work on SRK’s behalf.<\/p>\n
The club was founded in 2013 by a Maldivian citizen Muhammad Ashraf, and Paryani joined in 2014.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of celebrating his birthday for one day, we are celebrating it for a week. We\u2019re doing it as SRK week. We started with charity work for cancer patients, senior citizens, and differently abled children. We\u2019ve done blood donation drives, we\u2019ve screened \u2018Main Hoon Naa\u2019 for underprivileged kids, and food distribution drive outside Nair hospital,\u201d Paryani, a businessman, told PTI.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has been an inspiration to millions like us to follow our dream and be successful. He has inspired me to do well for society and be a better person,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Chennai-based Sudhir Kothari, who leads the SRK Chennai fan club, founded in 2013, said they\u2019ve planned a special surprise for Khan on his birthday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve planned some activities outside Mannat, like flying drones and releasing something. We\u2019ve made huge size banners with a special message. We don\u2019t want to reveal much. This birthday, we want to celebrate his entire journey as an actor, and his first national award. For us 60 is just a number, we don\u2019t think he is 60, we don\u2019t want to highlight. For us he is young, age is just a number,\u201d Kothari told PTI.<\/p>\n
Shah Rukh’s residence is currently going through renovation work with the actor and his family, including his wife Gauri Khan and three children Aryan, Suhana and Abram, shifting to an alternative place.<\/p>\n
But it has dampened the spirits of the fans, who are determined to drop by Mannat, hoping to catch a glimpse of SRK waving from the bungalow\u2019s famous elevated balcony.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are having a pre-birthday bash in suburban Mumbai on November 1 and from there we will go to Mannat in the night with a huge rally, holding banners and singing songs. We are expecting him; we know he will be there for fans. Without his glimpse at Mannat on his birthday, the celebration will be incomplete,\u201d Kothari, who is a financial analyst, said.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, Shah Rukh hosts a meet-and-greet with fans coming from all corners of the country to celebrate with him.<\/p>\n
This year, the \u201cJawan\u201d star will be throwing a huge birthday bash for his fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn November 2, SRK sir is hosting a party; it will be big and special. We will be part of the party. There are some special plans for the fans,\u201d Kothari claimed.<\/p>\n
On the professional front, Shah Rukh will next appear in \u201cKing\u201d, directed by Siddharth Anand, who previously collaborated with the actor on “Pathaan”.<\/p>\n
The film also features the actor\u2019s daughter, Suhana Khan, along with Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, and Arshad Warsi.<\/p>\n
Fans are hoping that the first look of \u201cKing\u201d will be unveiled on SRK’s birthday by the film’s team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
