Shahrukh Interacting With the Crowd

Shah Rukh Khan,  celebrated his birthday with the media in his own home. Thousands of fans from all over the world gathered outside his residence ‘Mannat’ in the Mumbai suburb of Bandra, to wish him.

People waited outside the bungalow for hours to get a glimpse of the superstar. Some were dressed in his Chamak Challo look while others carried posters of SRK. All of them started chanting ‘G.One’ in chorus when King Khan appeared before them. Waving to his fans, he indulged them by shaking a leg to Chamak Challo.

He then came out of his house, and mingled with some of his fans.

Shah Rukh, who is riding high on the success of Ra.One, gave the media some feedback on the movie, its reception and why he is still the Badshah of Bollywood. Sonil Dedhia took notes.

How does it feel to be 46 years old?

I feel blessed when I see so many fans waiting to meet me, as it is a big thing to celebrate someone else’s birthday. The media celebrates my birthday with so much love. Everytime I try to make better arrangements for you all. I saw a lot of fans waiting outside my house late in the night and I was very touched.

What is the best gift you have received so far on your birthday?

One of my close friends gifted me a locket that had a picture of my parents inside and a prayer written on it. I still have it. I was very touched. I miss my parents. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have had a life. It’s all because of my parents that I am what I am today.
