It’s officially Shah Rukh Khan Day — and the celebrations began right at midnight. From die-hard fans across the globe to his closest friends in the industry, everyone has joined in to celebrate the man who continues to rule hearts, screens, and cinema alike.
Among the first to share his wishes was filmmaker and close friend Karan Johar, who posted a heartwarming video montage filled with Shah Rukh’s film clips and behind-the-scenes moments. Reminiscing about their first meeting, Karan wrote, “I have such a vivid and distinct memory of meeting you, Bhai, on the sets of Karan Arjun. I went expecting the aura and magic of a rising superstar but instead met a magical man with a beating heart. Probably the best husband, best father, best son-in-law, best brother, and the best friend anyone can have! Your kindness and generosity are as iconic as your open arms — which should be declared a national gesture.”
