Mumbai, Nov 2 (NationPress) The renowned Bollywood star, Akshay Kumar, showcased his signature humor while wishing Shah Rukh Khan on his momentous 60th birthday.

In a light-hearted message shared on social media, the Kesari actor jested that although Shah Rukh has reached the age of 60, he appears no older than 40, while his wisdom surpasses that of someone far older. Akshay posted a rare and candid image of the two of them together on X, stating, “Many, many congratulations on your special day, Shahrukh. 60 ka lagta nahi hai vaise tu kahin se. Shakal se 40, akal se 120 ;) Happy Birthday dost. Stay blessed @iamsrk.”

The touching snapshot shows Akshay and Shah Rukh, both attired in white, smiling warmly as they pose side by side. Notably, both stars hail from Delhi and have made their mark in the film industry as 'outsiders,' achieving great success without familial connections in Bollywood.

The pair shared the screen in “Dil To Pagal Hai,” where Shah Rukh starred in the lead role, while Akshay had a significant supporting part. Despite being two of Bollywood’s most celebrated stars, their collaborations on-screen have been infrequent. The ‘Dilwale’ star made a guest appearance in a song from Akshay’s film “Heyy Babyy,” while Akshay had a cameo in Shah Rukh’s “Om Shanti Om.”

On his landmark 60th birthday, Shah Rukh Khan was inundated with affection and warm wishes from fans and colleagues alike on social media. Celebrities, including Kajol, Karan Johar, and Anupam Kher, as well as Sidharth Malhotra and Himani Shivpuri, expressed their heartfelt sentiments for the King of Bollywood.

In his moving tribute, Karan reminisced, “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 consistent kindness and generosity of spirit is just as iconic as your wide open arms (which should be officialized as a national gesture).”

“Bhai… the repertoire of cinema and projection of love that you have given to zillions of your fans across the globe makes you so much more than a mega movie star… it makes you an emotion… an emotion some of us are privileged to experience every day! I love you so much Bhai… thank you for being there through thick and thin and being family to Yash, Roohi, Mom, and I… Always and forever… Happy Birthday!!! This Decade like every decade will be yours!!!! @iamsrk,” he concluded.
