Shah Rukh Khan, India's biggest superstar turned a year older today. Like every year, fans assembled outside his bungalow, Mannat on Friday night to wish him. The last two years the actor had stepped out a little after midnight on his birthday to greet his sea of fans. This time, however, he skipped the ritual. 


An hour before midnight, Shah Rukh Khan along with his daughter Suhana Khan and wife Gauri were seen heading to Diwali party hosted by Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra. It is widely known that Khan reaches late at parties but is also the last person to leave. So it is only a valid guess that the superstar rang his birthday at his friend and co-star Rani Mukerji's house.

Shah Rukh Khan's return to the big screen

SRK returned to the silver screen with Siddharth Anand's 'Pathaan' in January 2023. In the film, SRK donned an action avatar. The film broke several records at the box office and managed to be in the list of high-grossing films in the Indian film industry.

The film marked SRK's first hit after his sabbatical of four years post delivering a series of duds like 'Zero' and 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'.

After 'Pathaan', King Khan returned to theatres in September with 'Jawan'. The film once again saw SRK in an action avatar. The film collected over Rs 1000 crore at the worldwide box office. 'Jawan' has redefined box office success, captivating audiences with its gripping storyline and stellar performances, and rewriting record books along the way.
