Shah Rukh Khan Skips Birthday Meet at Mannat, Fans Disappointed

Every year, fans from across the world flock to Mumbai to catch a glimpse of Shah Rukh Khan at his iconic beachfront residence, Mannat, on his birthday. This year, however, the superstar’s fans will have to temper their excitement, as Shah Rukh will not be able to meet them due to safety concerns and ongoing renovations at his home.

Shah Rukh took to social media to express his regrets, sharing a heartfelt message with his fans. He explained that authorities had advised him against stepping out to greet his admirers, citing crowd control and safety concerns. “Have been advised by authorities that I will not be able to step out and greet all you lovely people who have been waiting for me. My deepest apologies to all of you but have been informed that it is for the overall safety of everyone due to crowd control issues,” he wrote.

The actor reassured his fans that he, too, would miss the annual tradition of meeting them. “Thank you for understanding and believe me… I will miss seeing you more than you will. Was looking forward to seeing you all and sharing love. Love u all…” he added.

Earlier on his birthday, large crowds had already gathered outside Mannat, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Bollywood superstar. Police personnel were present to manage the crowd and ensure public safety, but some fans still tried to make their way to the residence via the beach despite authorities asking them to disperse. The streets around Mannat were busy with excited admirers, highlighting just how eagerly fans wait for this yearly interaction.

Shah Rukh, however, celebrated his 60th birthday in a more private setting over the weekend in Alibaug, surrounded by his family and close friends, including Karan Johar, Farah Khan, and Rani Mukerji. The celebrations were shared on social media, keeping fans engaged and offering glimpses of the intimate festivities.

On Sunday evening, Shah Rukh did visit Mannat briefly, but reports suggest he did not have the necessary permissions to step outside and greet the waiting crowd. Just days prior, he had promised fans that he would meet them at Mannat on his birthday, even jokingly mentioning he would wear a hard hat to do so.

Despite the disappointment for fans, Shah Rukh’s message reflected his deep affection for them, emphasizing that their safety and the ongoing renovations at Mannat made it impossible to continue the tradition this year. Fans, though heartbroken, appreciated the thoughtfulness and sincerity behind his apology.
