NEW DELHI: The former Indian cricketer and current national team head coach Gautam Gambhir extended birthday greetings to Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan as he turned 59 on November 2.
The 43-year-old cricket stalwart shared his wishes through his social media platform, where he posted an image featuring himself alongside Shah Rukh Khan, both wearing the distinctive Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team attire.
"Here's to the man who keeps turning 25! Your energy, charisma & charm gets more youthful every year! May you keep spreading love forever!" Gambhir wrote on X.
Shah Rukh's magnetic appeal is evident in his enormous fan base. Known affectionately as the King of Bollywood, he first rose to prominence in Delhi through his breakthrough role in the television series 'Fauji' in 1989.
His journey in cinema flourished with successful films like 'Deewana', 'Darr', and 'Baazigar', whilst 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' established him as a leading star.
Following an extended hiatus, Shah Rukh returned triumphantly in 2023 with box office successes 'Pathaan', 'Jawan' and 'Dunki', reinforcing his position as Bollywood's reigning monarch.
