Shah Rukh Khan shared a video giving his view of him greeting his fans outside Mannat on his birthday. The actor thanked the fans for showering love upon him.

On Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday--Wednesday--the actor resumed a tradition: meeting his fans outside his Bandra bungalow Mannat. Shah Rukh would often meet fans while standing atop a platform on the wall of his house, greeting scores of fans gathered below. However, the birthday meet-and-greet had been absent since Covid-19, only to be resumed this year. On Thursday, a day after his birthday, the actor shared his perspective of the meet and greet and marvelled at the sea of love that fans had created outside his house.
