We are all aware that the past couple of weeks have been extremely tough for Shahrukh Khan and his family because of Aryan Khan’s arrest. But after his release from Arthur Road Jail, Mannat is all decked up again for Diwali and more importantly, Shahrukh Khan’s birthday.
It’s King Khan’s 56th birthday today and after facing the ire of the storm, it was only natural that SRK would receive some of the most emotional birthday wishes from his friends in the industry.
Karan Johar, one of SRK’s closest friends, shared an elaborate yet touching birthday note on social media. Here’s what it read:
“I met him on the sets of Karan Arjun for the first time. I tagged along with my father to hang out with Kajol, not realising I was going to meet a man who would go on to shape my life, my career and my very being. His charisma and intelligence is a globally known fact, but I have the privilege of witnessing his humanity and heart…an unmatchable father, a rock-solid husband, a loving brother and an indispensable friend – he is all that and so much more. Love you so much Bhai. May every Mannat of yours get answered and the abundant love you rightfully deserve keep coming your way.”
Here’s a look at his post:
