Have you heard? It was a quiet 56th birthday for Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan

Quiet 56th birthday for SRK


On Tuesday, Shah Rukh Khan clocked 56 years. In a break from tradition due to son Aryan’s drugs case, the superstar did not cut his birthday cake with media and fans this year. Nor did he climb atop Mannat’s facade to greet the sea of well-wishers. Though fans had been milling around his Bandra Bandstand home since midnight to ring in the superstar’s birthday, they were told by cops not to crowd the venue. Police officials said that Shah Rukh and family had made their way to their Alibaug farmhouse for a quiet celebration. There was talk that SRK was keen that Aryan spend time away from the city after his release from jail. It may have been a quiet birthday for King Khan, but industry colleagues showered him with love on social media. Buddy Karan Johar wrote, “I met him on the set of Karan Arjun [1995] for the first time. I tagged along with my father to hang out with Kajol not realising I was going to meet a man who would go on to shape my life, career and my being ... a loving brother and an indispensable friend.”


Secret mission


Sidharth Malhotra

Sidharth Malhotra unveiled his look in Mission Majnu, which features him as a RAW agent. “Get ready to be a part of India’s greatest covert operation that derailed Pakistan’s illicit nuclear ambitions,” he captioned the picture on Instagram. Debutant Shantanu Bagchi’s espionage thriller, based on true-life events, is set in the 1970s. It marks South actor Rashmika Mandanna’s Bollywood debut. On Tuesday, the makers also announced that the film will release in May 2022.

Stepping out of comfort zone

Shilpa Shetty

A day after husband Raj Kundra deleted his social media accounts, Shilpa Shetty took to her Instagram Stories to share an excerpt from a book, which starts with a quote by American actor-author Alan Alda. “You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.” It then spoke about how “a great loss or any major change can push us into a place we never imagined.” A section of netizens were quick to say that she was alluding to Kundra.
