Shah Rukh Khan, the King Khan of Bollywood, recently held one of his popular, impromptu #AskSRK sessions on the social media platform X, giving fans a chance to interact directly with him. As always, the session was filled with his signature wit, charm, and humorous answers, much to the delight of his massive following. The interaction quickly trended, proving once again that the superstar’s social media presence is just as engaging as his on-screen roles.

 

One question, however, stood out and quickly became a talking point, as it touched upon a beloved annual tradition. With his birthday on November 2 approaching, a fan directly asked the star about his plans to continue his iconic yearly ritual. The fan asked, “Sir is baar Mannat pe fans ko greet karne aaoge?” This question refers to the much-anticipated moment when SRK steps out onto the balcony of Mannat to wave and acknowledge the sea of fans gathered below.

Of course but may have to wear a hard hat!!! https://t.co/31bOcyxAsn

Every year, thousands of well-wishers and fans travel from across the country, and even the world, to stand outside his home, hoping to catch a glimpse of the superstar on his special day. It is an event that has become synonymous with the actor’s birthday celebrations, with the streets outside Mannat turning into a festive zone every November 2.

 

Never one to disappoint, especially when it comes to a humorous response, Shah Rukh Khan confirmed he would be continuing the tradition, but not without adding a funny disclaimer. He replied to the fan with a short, witty line that instantly went viral: “Of course but may have to wear a hard hat!!” The hilarious response confirmed that he’ll be in Mumbai to greet his fans after reports of him celebrating his 60th birthday in Alibaug went viral earlier today. The actor’s clever response was to hint at the ongoing construction at Mannat.

 

For decades, the Mannat greeting has been a symbol of the unique bond Shah Rukh Khan shares with his fans. The sight of SRK standing on his balcony, arms stretched out wide in his famous pose, remains an iconic image of his superstardom.
