Bollywood’s beloved Khiladi, Akshay Kumar, brought his signature humour to social media as he extended birthday wishes to Shah Rukh Khan on his 60th birthday. Known for his playful camaraderie, Akshay’s message struck the perfect balance between warmth and wit — celebrating SRK’s milestone in true Bollywood style.

Akshay’s Playful Post for the King Khan

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Akshay shared a rare, unseen picture with Shah Rukh Khan, where the duo can be seen dressed in white and flashing heartwarming smiles.

Alongside the photo, Akshay wrote, “Many, many congratulations on your special day, Shahrukh. 60 ka lagta nahi hai vaise tu kahin se. Shakal se 40, akal se 120 ;) Happy Birthday dost. Stay blessed @iamsrk.”

The light-hearted post quickly went viral, with fans lauding the actor for his affectionate humour and the rare glimpse of the two superstars together.

Two Delhi Boys Who Made It Big

Interestingly, both Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan share a common background — they hail from Delhi and are complete outsiders in the Hindi film industry. With no family ties in Bollywood, both carved their own paths to superstardom through talent, hard work, and perseverance.

The duo previously shared screen space in the cult classic Dil To Pagal Hai, where Shah Rukh played the lead while Akshay appeared in a key supporting role. Though their joint appearances have been few, they’ve maintained mutual respect over the decades. SRK made a cameo in Akshay’s Heyy Babyy, while Akshay appeared in Om Shanti Om for a special sequence.

Bollywood Pours in Birthday Love for SRK

As the King of Bollywood turned 60, heartfelt wishes poured in from fans and industry colleagues alike. From Kajol, Karan Johar, and Anupam Kher to Sidharth Malhotra and Himani Shivpuri — everyone took to social media to celebrate SRK’s enduring charm and cinematic legacy.

Karan Johar, in particular, shared a deeply emotional note recalling his first meeting with SRK on the sets of Karan Arjun.

“I went expecting the aura and magic of a rising superstar but instead met a magical man with a beating heart… Probably the best husband, best father, best son-in-law, best brother, and the best friend anyone can have!”

The filmmaker continued,“Your consistent kindness and generosity of spirit is just as iconic as your wide open arms (which should be officialised as a national gesture). Bhai… the repertoire of cinema and projection of love that you have given to zillions of your fans across the globe makes you so much more than a mega movie star… it makes you an emotion.”

Concluding his post with heartfelt affection, Karan wrote,“I love you so much Bhai… thank you for being there through thick and thin and being family to Yash, Roohi, Mom and I… Always and forever… Happy Birthday!!! This decade, like every decade, will be yours!!!! @iamsrk.”

The Reign Continues

Even at 60, Shah Rukh Khan’s charisma, timeless appeal, and influence remain unmatched. With three blockbuster releases in 2023 and his upcoming action spectacle KING, the superstar continues to reign — both as the King of Bollywood and the King of Hearts.
