'60 ka lagta nahi!': Bollywood showers love on Shah Rukh Khan as he turns 60

Among those leading the celebrations were his closest friends and long-time collaborators- Kajol, Karan Johar, and Akshay Kumar, each sharing nostalgic tributes to the superstar who has ruled hearts for over three decades.

“Happy 60th to a Life Well-Lived,” writes Kajol

Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic on-screen heroine Kajol, who has shared unforgettable chemistry with him in classics like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and My Name Is Khan, posted two adorable pictures from a recent meeting.

In one, the duo flashes a warm smile for the camera; in another, SRK is seen affectionately leaning toward Kajol as she clicks a selfie.

Her caption read: “Happy happy 60th to a life well lived... advice for the day! Don’t count the candles… here’s to turning 29 again. Wish all and only good things for you and yours! Happy Birthday.”

Karan Johar’s emotional tribute: 'This decade, like every decade, will be yours'

Filmmaker and close friend Karan Johar shared a touching reel featuring snippets from their years of collaboration, both on and off screen.

The montage included behind-the-scenes moments from films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and My Name Is Khan.

In a heartfelt note, Johar recalled his first meeting with SRK on the sets of Karan Arjun: “I went expecting the aura of a rising superstar but instead met a magical man with a beating heart. Probably the best husband, best father, best friend anyone can have.”

He added, “Bhai… your kindness and generosity of spirit are as iconic as your open arms. You’re more than a movie star — you’re an emotion. This decade, like every decade, will be yours!”

Actor Akshay Kumar joined in with his signature humor, posting a throwback photo with SRK and writing: “Many, many congratulations on your special day, Shahrukh. 60 ka lagta nahi hai tu kahin se. Shakal se 40, akal se 120. Happy Birthday, dost. Stay blessed.”

Filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan, one of Shah Rukh’s closest friends, took to Instagram to share affectionate moments from the celebration.

In one photo, she is seen embracing the Pathaan star, and in another, she plants a kiss on his cheek. Her caption read, “Happy birthday KING @iamsrk… rule for another 100 years.”

With Pathaan and Jawan reaffirming his megastar status and Dunki on the horizon, Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th year marks yet another golden chapter in the journey of Bollywood’s enduring “Badshah.”
