We will have bigger, better party next year: Shah Rukh Khan on turning 55

MUMBAI: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Monday thanked his fans for their continued love as he turned 55, promising a bigger and better party on his next birthday.
Khan’s birthday has been an annual ritual with fans crowding outside his Bandra bungalow, Mannat, to get a glimpse of their favourite star.
The actor would oblige the sea of waiting admirers, by showing up routinely on a makeshift stand, blowing kisses, waving and striking his trademark arms-stretched pose.
While the street leading up to his house would be chock-a-block on his birthday – with even police barricading and security – the celebrations this year were muted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Khan posted a video on Twitter and said he was touched by the social work several of his fan clubs carried, including blood donation drive and distribution of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits.
“More than wishing me on my birthday some of the work that you boys and girls have been doing, giving your time and resources to people who are in need right now… This is the most wonderful work that we can do. Because you can’t be a lover boy like me without spreading love,” he said in his signature witty style.
“Thank you all of you from far, near and through whatever resources we have. I love you all. Next year we will all get together and have a bigger better party… 56 is better than 55. I miss you all. A big hug to all,” the actor, who is in Dubai for to support his team Kolkata Knight Riders at the ongoing Indian Premiere League, further said. (AGENCIES)
