Shah Rukh Khan turned 60, but the internet still refuses to believe it and Shashi Tharoor led that chorus in the most Shashi Tharoor way possible. The senior Congress leader wished SRK with humour, admiration and a touch of fanboy energy. His message instantly went viral. And honestly, fans agreed. Because if you look at Shah Rukh Khan today, does he look 60? Not at all.
Shashi Tharoor Gushes About Shah Rukh Khan As Superstar Turns 60
Tharoor shared his birthday wish on X and playfully questioned SRK’s age. He said the superstar turning 60 looked “suspicious” because there is simply no proof of ageing on his face or in his energy. According to him, there are no visible wrinkles, no tiredness and definitely no slowdowns. In simple words, SRK still looks like he is in his 40s (maybe even younger).
He explained it in his style, saying a team of “investigators” found zero signs to confirm SRK is actually 60. He even drew a fun comparison to Benjamin Button, joking that Shah Rukh might be ageing backwards. In his view, SRK’s energy today is higher than it was 20 years ago, and any wrinkle you think you spot can easily be explained by lighting. He joked that at 70, SRK might still audition for teenage roles. And when that happens, he said he might not be around to watch Shah Rukh return as a child star.

Congress Leader Previously Congratulated SRK On His National Award Win
This isn’t the first time Tharoor has praised the superstar. When SRK won his first National Film Award for Jawan, Tharoor had called him a national treasure. Shah Rukh replied with humour, saying he would not have understood a longer and more complicated compliment from Tharoor anyway. It was another fun moment between two icons that fans enjoyed online.
While social media buzzed with birthday wishes, Shah Rukh celebrated the day quietly in Alibaug with close friends. Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Ananya Panday were among the guests spotted at the intimate gathering. The treat for fans came in the form of the King title reveal and first-look teaser. The video showed Shah Rukh in a fierce new avatar, confirming a massive action comeback in 2026. The internet exploded with excitement within minutes.
