Salman Khan Wishes Shah Rukh Khan on 61st Birthday; SRK Credits Him for 'King' Physique

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his 61st birthday on November 2, receiving greetings from peers across the film industry. Among the most talked-about interactions was an exchange between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh on social media late at night.

Salman shared a music clip of the song "Tu Mil Jaaye" from Shah Rukh's upcoming project King on his Instagram Story, writing, "Happy birthday, Shahrukh. Hamesha Jawaan raho the King. Yeh meri dua hai." The track, performed by Arijit Singh and Ed Sheeran, features Shah Rukh alongside Deepika Padukone.

Replying to the gesture, Shah Rukh reshared the story with a light-hearted admission about his fitness routine: "Aapne kaha bina shirt ke achhi body hai, sirf isiliye mehnat ki. Love u bhai always." Shah Rukh’s shirtless appearance and sculpted physique in the song have garnered widespread attention online, drawing praise from fans and industry figures like director Karan Johar. Co-star Kajol also shared an image with Shah Rukh, wishing him well and calling him an absolute rockstar.

Outside his residence, Mannat, thousands of fans gathered throughout the day to catch a glimpse of the actor. Despite ongoing renovation work at the bungalow, Shah Rukh kept up his yearly tradition by appearing on an elevated platform. Dressed in a white T-shirt, blue denim, a black beanie, and spectacles, he waved to the cheering crowd and struck his trademark open-arms pose. He later marked the occasion at a private gathering with family and close friends at a South Mumbai hotel, which Salman reportedly attended.
