Salman Khan joined the flood of wishes for Shah Rukh Khan on November 2, as the superstar marked his 61st birthday with the usual wave of fan love and a major update around King. Among the day’s standout moments was Salman’s affectionate social media post, one that tapped directly into the excitement around Shah Rukh’s next film and their long-standing bond.
Salman Khan’s Birthday Wish For Shah Rukh Khan
Salman took to Instagram Stories and shared Tu Mil Jaaye, the newly released song from King, with a message that read, “Happy birthday, Shahrukh. Hamesha Jawaan raho the King. Yeh meri dua hai. @iamsrk.”
The gesture quickly caught fans’ attention, not just because of the warmth in Salman’s words, but because it arrived alongside one of the biggest King updates yet. The song was unveiled at midnight on November 2, turning Shah Rukh’s birthday into a key promotional moment for the film. Tu Mil Jaaye features Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, and has added fresh momentum to the build-up around the December release.
