Mumbai, Nov 2 (NationPress) Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor delivered a clever birthday message to the iconic Shah Rukh Khan as the celebrated star marked his 60th birthday on Sunday.
In a playful social media post, Tharoor expressed his skepticism regarding the actor's age, humorously noting that there was no visual evidence to back up this milestone—thanks to Shah Rukh's timeless allure, vitality, and youthful appearance.
Using his X handle, Tharoor shared snapshots of the superstar and jokingly mentioned that a team of “independent fact-checkers and forensic detectives” had thoroughly investigated the claim and found no evidence to substantiate it, highlighting the absence of grey hair, any indications of aging, and the ever-youthful looks of Shah Rukh Khan.
Tharoor wrote, “Happy 60th Birthday to the ultimate King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan @iamsrk I must confess, I'm finding this '60' figure deeply suspicious. A crack team of independent fact-checkers and forensic detectives examined this '60' assertion & determined: 'In the complete and absolute absence of any discernible visual evidence—specifically, no non-photoshopped grey hair, no undeniable signs of slowing down, and a persistent appearance of someone significantly younger—the claim that Shah Rukh Khan is turning 60 cannot be factually confirmed.'”
“I suspect the official narrative is a cover-up & that SRK is actually starring in a real-life, decades-long, global-scale Bollywood adaptation of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.' He's aging in reverse. Consider the evidence: 1. His energy levels today seem higher than they were 20 years ago. 2. His hairstyle has become progressively more youthful. 3. There are no wrinkles a decent lighting crew can't explain away.”
“I predict that by the time he reaches his '70th' birthday, he'll be auditioning for teenage roles. Thankfully, I don’t expect to be around when he transforms into a child star. Congratulations on this remarkable milestone, Shah Rukh! Please continue to defy physics and biology, and keep us all guessing for many more years to come. #HappyBirthdaySRK #KingKhan,” concluded Tharoor.
Shah Rukh Khan was inundated with heartfelt birthday messages from fans and fellow celebrities alike on his momentous day.
