'Iss baar ka pyaar thoda door se yaar': Shahrukh Khan asks fan to maintain social distancing on his 55th birthday celebration

A few days from now, Shah Rukh Khan will celebrate his 55th birthday and fans of the superstar every year throng to catch a glimpse of their favourite hero at Mannat. Unlike every year, SRK will not greet his fans from his balcony at Mannat, nor will his fans gather in large numbers in front of his bungalow. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, a member of Shah Rukh’s fan club has said that fans will be cutting cakes at their homes and can join in the celebrations via live streaming. The report added that the midnight celebration will be followed by a virtual birthday party on Monday at 11 am with selfie booths, games, SRK quizzes, live interactions among the fans, and a few performances. 

Apart from this, a few charitable activities like distributing 5555 Covid kits with masks and sanitisers, 5555 meals to the needy, visiting orphanages and old-age homes have also been planned for the special day. Shah Rukh is currently with his family in the UAE, and had told his fans during a recent Q&A session, ‘iss baar ka pyaar thoda door se yaar (this time show your love from a distance).’He is regularly spotted in the stands with his kids, Suhana and Aryan, at KKR matches. He was last seen in the 2018 film Zero, which failed to impress the audience. He has been on a sabbatical from acting ever since. He will reportedly deliver his next film in about a year.
