Mumbai, Nov 3 (NationPress) Fans of Shah Rukh Khan eagerly anticipate the celebration of King Khan's birthday every year, but this time, his 60th birthday fan meet spiraled into chaos.
Traditionally, on his birthday, SRK appears on his balcony at Mannat, greeting the throngs of fans who gather outside.
This year, however, due to heightened security concerns, Shah Rukh refrained from stepping out. He expressed his regret on social media, stating, "I have been advised by authorities that I cannot come out and greet all you wonderful fans waiting for me. I deeply apologize to you all, but this is for everyone's safety due to crowd control issues (sic)."
Every year, a substantial number of admirers travel from across the nation to see the Baadshah on his special day, presenting challenges for the authorities in managing the crowd and ensuring Shah Rukh's safety.
To compensate for the absence, SRK hosted a private fan meet event in Mumbai, where he appeared stylish in a grey beanie and glasses.
He shared a video on his official Instagram, showing himself amidst a large crowd of enthusiastic fans. In the clip, he smiled and waved, captioning it, “Thank you for making my birthday special as always. I am filled with gratitude… and for those I couldn’t meet, I look forward to seeing you soon. In theaters and at the next birthday. Love u… (sic)."
After the indoor gathering, King Khan briefly emerged to wave at the huge crowd outside the venue.
In an exclusive clip captured by IANS, SRK was seen walking behind a barricade, acknowledging his fans. Unfortunately, some fans attempted to get closer, reaching out to shake hands with SRK. As chaos ensued, security personnel swiftly intervened, escorting him away.
