Sad news! No birthday wave from Shah Rukh Khan at Mannat this year due to security reasons

For decades, Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday has been nothing short of a festival for his fans. Every November 2, thousands gather outside Mannat, his iconic Mumbai home, hoping to catch that magical glimpse, the outstretched arms, the smile, the gratitude. But this year, as SRK turned 60, the ritual that fans cherish most was missing.

The superstar took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a heartfelt note, explaining that authorities had advised him not to step out due to safety concerns.

“Have been advised by authorities that I will not be able to step out and greet all you lovely people who have been waiting for me... My deepest apologies to all of you but have been informed that it is for the overall safety of everyone due to crowd control issues,” King Khan shared.

Crowds Swell Outside Mannat

Despite the announcement, thousands of fans thronged the streets of Bandra. Videos showed people chanting his name, waving lights, and singing through the night. What’s usually a joyous sight began to resemble a stampede-like situation, prompting police to intervene.

While many fans were heartbroken to miss the moment, SRK’s emotional post turned into a gesture of love in itself. “I’ll miss seeing you all more than you’ll miss me,” he added, a line that instantly struck a chord across social media.

Even without the balcony wave, Shah Rukh’s connection with his fans shone brighter than ever. His message reminded millions why he’s not just the King of Bollywood, but forever the King of Hearts, proving that love doesn’t always need a balcony, just a bond.
