DUBAI: Shah Rukh Khan turned 55 on Nov. 2 and the Bollywood star’s social media was flooded with well-wishes from friends and fans.
However, one of the most touching came from the world’s tallest building. In celebration of the actor’s birthday on Monday night, the Burj Khalifa lit up with a special tribute to the star. The spectacular projection included a message that read “Happy birthday Shah Rukh Khan” followed by a couple of clips of the actor and the text “King of Bollywood.”
The iconic landmark did something similar last year, however, this time around, Khan was actually in Dubai to witness the projection in real life and even posted a picture of himself posing in front of the landmark.
“It’s nice to see myself on the biggest and tallest screen in the world,” wrote the actor, thanking Mohamed Alabbar, founder and chairman of Emaar Properties, and the Burj Khalifa. “Being my own guest in Dubai... my kids mighty impressed and me is loving it! (sic)” he added in the caption.
His legion of fans were mighty impressed too. “The King is getting treatment like a King! We love you King. Stay blessed and Safe! (sic)” wrote one user in the actor’s comment section.
Another quipped: “Now that’s stardom!”
