Shah Rukh Khan Gives Witty Reply To Shashi Tharoor For Birthday Wish — Internet Loves The Banter
Mumbai, November 5, 2025 — Orbit Standard | By Team Orbit Standard
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan turned 60, and social media X witnessed an entertaining exchange between the actor and Congress leader Shashi Tharoor. The politician had jokingly questioned SRK’s age, suggesting that the actor appears to be ageing in reverse.
In his humorous reply on Tuesday, Shah Rukh Khan wrote:
“Thank you. Although I am sure you will be around to see me playing the child star and I will copy your hairstyle then. Ha ha…”
Earlier, on SRK’s birthday post, Shashi Tharoor had commented that the “60” number is suspicious, adding that it looks more like a plot twist from a real-life remake of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” because SRK appears younger as years go by.
Tharoor, who is 69, quipped that he might not even be alive by the time SRK turns into a full-blown “child artist.”
SRK responds to friends and co-stars
Throughout the day, Shah Rukh Khan replied warmly to messages from friends in the film industry:
- To Akshay Kumar, he thanked him for singing Happy Birthday and said he should now teach him how to wake up early like a Khiladi.
- Kajol was told he avoided counting candles this time.
- Juhi Chawla received a message filled with affection and support for future causes.
- Anupam Kher was thanked for a heartfelt video message, with SRK adding that they should find ways to work together again, maybe even in another film.
Private Celebration in Mumbai
Instead of a massive public event, SRK opted for a private birthday celebration in Bandra. He held a closed-door fan meet, cut a three-tier cake, posed for photographs, and later appeared outside Mannat to wave at the fans gathered to wish him.
