Shah Rukh Khan happens to be one of India’s biggest internationally recognised brands. The recent brouhaha with his son Aryan’s incarceration does not seem to have dimmed his halo one little bit. On the contrary, the dignity and restraint he has shown through the weeks of intense scrutiny seem to endear him all the more to his staunch fans. So, on SRK’s birthday, everyone including the Burj Khalifa wished him – but some just want Don 3.
Well known for his grace, polish, wit and intelligence, SRK is loved by fans and celebs alike.
2 November was SRK’s birthday and fans were celebrating.
Thousands said Happy Birthday in person usually, but not this year. Millions more said it online.
…Some people know Hindi!
The tallest building in the world said ‘We Love You, Happy Birthday Shah Rukh Khan’.
Fans can go quite nuts just because their idol – the guy who doesn’t know about their existence – grew a year older.
Thank you for existing said Amazon Prime. “This post made me extend my prime subscription...” said a tweet in response.
SRK’s dignity has been very much in evidence even during troubled times. His connect to literally millions of Indians and non-Indians and their support for him only seems to have deepened during those times.
SRK is undoubtedly the romantic icon for Hindi films – even those who don’t think much of his acting would agree that he is like an ambassador of love.
SRK’s effortless charm and wry humour make him just an objectively cool guy as Farhan Akhtar’s tweet acknowledges.
Akhtar and SRK have made Don and Don 2. Now people want Don 3.
People have been asking for the sequel to the sequel of a remake – for a very long time.
This hashtag can start to trend anytime. For no particular reason
This Twitter user has an even more ambitious demand – they want Don 4 or Son of Don someday.
If people are saying Happy Birthday SRK, demands for #Don3 can’t be far behind. Filmmakers issue statements such as these, but before long, they're asking for Don 3 again.
