Shah Rukh Khan explains why he couldn’t greet fans standing outside Mannat on his 60th birthday

Have been advised by authorities that I will not be able to step out and greet all you lovely people who have been waiting for me.
My deepest apologies to all of you but have been informed that it is for the overall safety of everyone due to crowd control issues.

Thank you for…

However, fans supported SRK’s decision and praised him for choosing safety over chaos. One reply to this tweet read, “It’s easy to forget safety matters even for the biggest stars. People see the glamour, not the chaos that comes with it. Missing a moment hurts, sure. But walking away alive to meet your fans another day that’s the only thing that really counts. The king stays behind the curtain tonight. Streets waiting, hearts humming, a pause instead of a performance. Love delayed, not denied. That’s how loyalty feels when it meets responsibility. Still, somewhere, someone whispers  “Next time.”
