Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan turned 58 on Thursday, November 2 and his birthday was widely celebrated by his fans in India and worldwide. Social media was buzzing all day as 'King Khan' is arguably the most popular and well-known Indian actor for lovers of cinema around the world.
2023 has been particularly rewarding for Shah Rukh Khan, as his two releases Pathaan and Jawan generated over INR 1000 crore at the box office, smashing all records for Hindi films. The actor endured a rough patch in his career and took a sabbatical from acting, before roaring back like never before to reclaim his thrown.
His love for cricket is well known as he owns IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, two-time winners of the biggest franchise tournament in the world. He also owns franchises in Caribbean Premier League (West Indies), International League T20 (UAE), and Major Cricket League (USA).
An avid cricket lover, Shah Rukh Khan often has wished India on his social media accounts for their victories and even attended some matches to cheer the national side, both in India and overseas.
Adidas, the kit sponsors of Team India, released a special video clip on Thursday to wish 'SRK' on his 58th birthday, which includes captain Rohit Sharma, vice-captain Hardik Pandya, former captain Virat Kohli and other key players imitating the trademark pose of the actor which has made him so popular among the masses.
Meanwhile, India became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, after routing Sri Lanka by 302 runs in Mumbai.
