Mumbai: Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan marks his 60th with a worldwide and nationwide outpouring of wishes, citywide fan gatherings, and strong chatter that a title reveal or short teaser from his next Siddharth Anand film may drop around his birthday. Reports indicate a special fan interaction in Bandra and celebrations shifting to Alibaug, with Mannat under renovation this year.
Shah Rukh began his journey on television with Fauji and Circus before transitioning to films with Deewana (1992). He broke through with Baazigar and Darr (1993), then cemented superstardom with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995). A prolific run followed with landmark hits like Dil To Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kal Ho Naa Ho and Veer-Zaara. He ventured into production with Dreamz Unlimited (with Juhi Chawla and Aziz Mirza), and later established Red Chillies Entertainment, which debuted as a banner with Main Hoon Na. His performances in Swades and Chak De! India remain among his most acclaimed. He also delivered an early, underrated turn in the 1989 television film Umeed, where he played a banker posted to a rural branch now often cited as a hidden gem from his pre-stardom years. Most recently, Shah Rukh Khan received his first National Film Award for Best Actor for his powerhouse performance in Jawan, marking a historic milestone in a three-decade career
After a lean phase post-2016 and a sabbatical following Zero (2018), SRK returned in 2023 with a record-smashing double Pathaan and Jawan reigniting his box office dominance. His next big-screen outing with Siddharth Anand has been the subject of intense speculation, with fans awaiting an official title/teaser window coinciding with his birthday.
