Shah Rukh Khan steps out to meet fans after birthday fan meet; his bodyguard rushes to protect him as crowd surges. Watch | Bollywood News

Though Shah Rukh Khan couldn’t come to greet the sea of fans outside his bungalow Mannat due to security issues, the actor made sure he attended the fans’ meet-and-greet on his 60th birthday on Sunday. At the fan meet, Shah Rukh shared anecdotes from his films and also spoke about the important role fans play in his life. The actor also watched the teaser of his upcoming film King with fans at the meet-up.
In a viral clip from the event, Shah Rukh Khan shared that he did Chak De! India as a tribute to his father, Meer Taj Mohammed Khan. The actor’s father used to play hockey, and Shah Rukh had also played the sport. He said, “This was important for me. I used to play hockey and my father also used to play. I really wanted to play for India. But I got hurt and stuff like that. In a way, it’s good that I became an actor. When Chak De India came to me, it’s a tribute to my father. I don’t like to give more meaning to films than what they should have. They are meant for entertainment but I remember telling Aditya Chopra that I will do this film for my father. The girls were very good, fantastic. It was good to play hockey with them.”

In another clip, Shah Rukh shared that he derives his validation as an actor not from awards but from the love and admiration that his fans shower on him. “Every actor needs validation because we don’t get it in any other way for films…some 10-15 years ago I decided that if I feel sad for something that I did good but it didn’t work…all human like to be liked for their work..and then I decided that whether I get an award or not, I will get validation from my fans,” he said.

Despite security concerns, Shah Rukh did come out after the fan meet to thank fans who were standing outside the venue waiting to get a glimpse of the actor. Though Shah Rukh was standing behind the barricade, the actor’s security had to immediately ask him to leave as the crowd suddenly came close to him.

However, Shah Rukh did address his fans who were waiting for him outside for the whole day in his tweet. He shared a video from the fan meet, with over 300 of his fans cheering for him, and wrote, “Thank you for making my birthday special as always. Full of gratitude… and those of you I couldn’t meet, I will see you soon. In the theatres and at the next birthday. Love u…”
