Shah Rukh Khan reveals why he didn't wave to his fans from Mannat on 60th birthday: 'My deepest apologies to all of you but...'

As Shah Rukh Khan turns 60, fans from across the globe are gearing up to celebrate not just the movie star, but the man who showed them the many shades of love through his films.

On Sunday, the actor, fondly known as SRK or King Khan, will celebrate his 60th birthday. Often hailed as one of the last true superstars of Hindi cinema, alongside Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh continues to have a global fan following.

However, the actor was unable to greet his fans from his residence Mannat’s balcony and he revealed the reason in his tweet:

Fan frenzy for the star in Mumbai

Among them are Claudia Calle and Manigret Aparicio, who have travelled to Mumbai all the way from their home country Peru, just to witness the charm of their beloved star.

Claudia, an artist by profession, runs the  SRK Peru fan club and remembers how she fell in love with the actor after watching his 2004 hit “Veer Zaara”.

“I saw the movie with my husband and I instantly fell in love with Shah Rukh. Afterwards, I watched all of his past films on DVD, including ‘Karan Arjun’, ‘Baazigar’, ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa’ and ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’.

“We are crazy  Shah Rukh Khan fans. Our home is a tribute to him, filled with posters and memories. Words can hardly capture our love for him. Shah Rukh means love. We are so looking forward to meeting him,” Claudia told PTI.

Their admiration for  SRK runs so deep that they’ve named their home in Peru “Mannat”, inspired by Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic sea-facing residence in Bandra.
