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.
