Marking the nation’s 79th Independence Day, Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshah of Bollywood, charmed fans with a vintage glimpse of Mannat, his iconic Bandra residence. Known for his annual flag-hoisting tradition at home, this year’s post was extra special — not just for its patriotic spirit, but for the emotions it carried.
Currently residing in a temporary home in Pali Hill due to ongoing renovations at Mannat, SRK shared a cherished moment from last year’s celebrations with his youngest son, AbRam. The photo captures the duo on the terrace, a vibrant tricolour waving proudly beside them. Dressed in a casual white T-shirt and denim, the superstar kept the focus on the spirit of the day, captioning the post: “Our Independence is our greatest gift… a key to our progress. Let’s keep our heads held high and hearts open. Happy Independence Day to all of us… Jai Hind!”
Fans flooded the comments with love, patriotic wishes, and excitement for his upcoming film King. Some quoted iconic lines from his movies, while others expressed anticipation for seeing him back on the big screen.
This Independence Day post comes on the heels of another milestone — SRK recently bagged his maiden National Award for Jawan.
Up next, Shah Rukh is preparing for King, helmed by Siddharth Anand, which will mark his first on-screen collaboration with his daughter, Suhana Khan.
Whether through a simple family tradition or a monumental professional milestone, SRK’s Independence Day this year stood as a perfect blend of pride, nostalgia, and inspiration — reminding fans why he remains the King of Hearts, both on and off screen.
