India’s Shah Rukh Khan is a global brand. For the people of Dubai, he is special; since he is also the city’s brand ambassador. So on the occasion of King Khan’s 54th birthday, it was only natural that the tallest building in the world – the Burj Khalifa would honour the man. Here’s what happened:
On the evening of 2nd November, the Dubai fountain put up a show as it usually does. Only this time around, the music featured was from a Bollywood and the laser show beamed on to the Burj Khalifa wished Shah Rukh Khan a happy birthday. “Love u Dubai. It’s my birthday and I’m the guest,” he said.
Fans of SRK believe that he is the biggest movie star in the world. They were delighted with the Burj laser show and musical fountain tribute to their fave star.
There were those who said that this is the first time that a person featured on the Burj; however others clarified that this is the first time that a Bollywood personality has featured here.
Many SRK fans who were present at the Dubai Fountain on the evening were delighted to be witness to this event and posted their own videos of it.
SRK has received honorary doctorates and civilian honours from various institutions and countries across the world. The Burj tribute is the latest, feels this Twitter user.
Some fans thought that this was a historic moment; and a king-sized celebration for their idol.
SRK is the beloved of crores of people all over the world. He received a lot of love on the occasion of his birthday.
There were a few who had this rather jaded view to share – that everything is possible if one has the money.
Others have a different view. They feel that the achievements of SRK owe themselves to his hard work and the love of the people.
Fans were quick to point out that SRK’s life story is something of a rags-to-riches tale – the story of a man who succeeded even without a Bollywood godfather.
This picture was posted by wife Gauri Khan which made everyone go ‘aww’.
This Twitter user also pointed this out about the Burj’s tribute to the Indian superstar.
