Few stars can blend grace, humour and warmth quite like Shah Rukh Khan. As he celebrated his 60th birthday on November 2, 2025, the King of Bollywood once again reminded fans why he is adored across generations. Known not just for his films but for his effortless connection with people, SRK turned a simple birthday greeting into one of the Internet’s favourite moments of the day.
The moment began when Indian cricketer Rinku Singh took to social media to wish the superstar; he wrote, “The best ever! Happy birthday @iamsrk sir”. In typical Shah Rukh Khan style, the actor responded with a mix of affection and wit, “Thank u Rinku. Lots of love… and shaadi kab hai?” The comment was perfectly timed, Rinku had recently postponed his wedding, making Shah Rukh’s teasing question even more amusing for fans.

Rinku Singh, who got engaged to Samajwadi Party MP Priya Saroj in June 2025, was originally set to marry in November but delayed the ceremony to next year due to his cricketing schedule. The young cricketer, who represents Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket and plays for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL, has long shared a warm bond with Shah Rukh, who co-owns the team.
The lighthearted exchange quickly went viral, with fans flooding social media with laughing and heart emojis. Many admired how SRK’s sense of humour continues to bridge generations and professions — from film stars to cricketers. The interaction also highlighted the friendly camaraderie Shah Rukh Khan shares with players from his KKR squad, where Rinku has emerged as one of the most promising performers.
The birthday celebrations brought a wave of love for Shah Rukh from fans, friends and colleagues across industries.
Among the many heartfelt wishes was one from India’s head coach and former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir, who shared a warm birthday message online. SRK responded with equal affection, writing, “Thank u my captain!! Nicest thing is I can make you smile… ha ha. Congrats on all the success.”

On the work front, the superstar will next be seen in King alongside his daughter Suhana Khan, a project eagerly awaited by fans who can’t get enough of his magic, both on and off the screen.
