A heartwarming photograph of Shah Rukh Khan, taken during his 60th birthday celebrations on November 2, 2025, has gone viral, reaffirming his title as the "King of Hearts". The image captures Khan posing with Mumbai Police officers and a young girl, gently holding the hand of a woman officer as they smile for the camera.
The simple yet thoughtful gesture has resonated deeply with fans across social media platforms, who have lauded it as "pure class" and emblematic of "SRK being SRK". In a world often dominated by grand gestures, it is these small acts of warmth and humility that remind people why Khan is so beloved.
The photograph was taken during Khan's birthday festivities, where Mumbai Police had cordoned off a one-kilometer stretch around his residence, Mannat, in Bandra, to manage the large crowd of fans. However, the actor surprised everyone by making an appearance at Balgandharv Rang Mandir in Bandra, where a special fan event had been organized.
Approximately 500 fans with special golden and purple passes attended the event, eagerly awaiting Khan's arrival. Dressed in a white jacket over a black tee, Khan was met with deafening cheers as he walked in. The evening was filled with nostalgia, laughter, and heartfelt moments as Khan danced to his hit song 'Zinda Banda', cut a three-tier cake shaped like film reels, and reflected on his cinematic journey.
During the event, Khan spoke about his sports drama Chak De! India, calling it a tribute to his father. He also teased his upcoming action film King, directed by Siddharth Anand, expressing his excitement about their improved understanding and the fun they are having during the filmmaking process. The film is expected to be released in 2026 and will feature Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, and Suhana Khan. Khan also mentioned working on his son Aryan Khan's directorial debut, Bads.
Before concluding the event, Khan expressed his gratitude to his fans, many of whom had waited for hours to catch a glimpse of him. He acknowledged that meeting his fans, whether outside Mannat or at events like this, makes him happy because he knows it makes them happy too. Khan ended the night with a selfie from the stage, a wave to the crowd, and the warmth that has defined his stardom for over three decades.
