Mumbai, Nov 2 (NationPress) Renowned actor Anupam Kher honored Shah Rukh Khan on his 60th birthday by reviving his memorable look from Mohabbatein.
In a heartfelt tribute posted on Instagram, Kher celebrated this significant milestone with a touching gesture. He shared a video donning a maroon sweater similar to the one worn by Shah Rukh in “Mohabbatein.” In the caption, he expressed, “Happy landmark Birthday my dearest #Shahrukh!! May God grant you all the joy, a long and healthy life! Knowing you brings immense joy! Your energy is contagious! Although this video is over 5 minutes long, I could continue forever! Stay joyful and live for a thousand more years! This “sweater” look from #Mohabbatein (minus the violin and hair) is exclusively for you on your special day! Love and prayers always! @iamsrk #HappyBirthdaySRK #Friend.”
In the video, Anupam Kher shared, “My dear Shahrukh, many congratulations on your birthday. May God keep you extremely happy. Wishing you health and longevity. May joy and peace embrace you. Initially, I planned to call you instead of making this video. But this landmark birthday brings back so many memories.”
“No one realizes that you’re not even 16 yet you’ve reached 60. You’re a decade younger than me. It’s delightful to say this at this age. When we worked on ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge, I believe I was around 35 or maybe 45. Regardless, I was always meant to play fathers while you’ll forever embody sons, sons-in-law, and younger brothers, even at 100. Some individuals are just like that. You’re a remarkable person and a wonderful human.”
Continuing, the 70-year-old actor remarked, “Not long ago, we took a picture together at the Filmfare Awards. The lighting was dim, and you suggested taking it from a brighter spot. It struck me that you haven’t changed a bit. While we don’t see each other often, I cherish that magic. We haven’t collaborated for 15-20 years. After Happy New Year, I wondered why we hadn’t worked together again. But the enchantment we created in Dilwale, Dulhania Le Jayenge remains unmatched.”
“I’ve learned so much from you. You once told me, many years ago, that I seem to see through people like an X-ray. You possess that unique quality, which is why you spread happiness effortlessly across our vast country, which is no easy feat.
“It’s a beautiful and warm feeling to have someone as monumental as you in the industry. Your humanity surpasses your celebrity status, which is what makes you exceptional,” concluded Anupam.
Anupam Kher and Shah Rukh Khan share a rich history of on-screen collaborations, having appeared in numerous unforgettable films over the years, including classics like Darr, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Happy New Year.
