It is not every day that you cross the landmark of 50 years in your life. Shah Rukh Khan, who turned 51 yesterday, rang in his birthday with a party at his beach house at Alibaug, a resort about 100km from Mumbai, before spending a quiet day with friends and colleagues.
The actor usually celebrates his birthdays back home at the celebrated mansion Mannat in Bandra, but this time he went all out for his friends.
Khan took his family and friends for an outing to his beach house in Alibaug, where close friend Karan Johar, Ranbir Kapoor, Ayan Mukherji, Gauri Shinde, and Imtiaz Ali joined him.
Khan has worked or is working for three of the four filmmakers in that group this year, signing on for Shinde's Dear Zindagi and Ali's tentatively titled The Ring, and making a special appearance in Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
For a man who has reigned over Hindi cinema for almost a quarter century, Shah Rukh Khan continues to show an inspiring energy and dedication to his fans and his craft. Long live the King, we say.
