Congress politician Shashi Tharoor posted a humorous tribute on Sunday as Shah Rukh Khan marked his 60th birthday, questioning whether the actor has truly reached that age. The author and lawmaker joked on X that a fictional group of fact-checkers and forensic specialists had examined the claim but discovered no supporting evidence. Tharoor pointed to the absence of gray hair, continued high energy, and youthful appearance as reasons to doubt the milestone.
The senior political figure suggested Khan might be living through a real-world version of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, aging backward instead of forward. Tharoor noted the actor's energy appears greater than it did two decades earlier and predicted Khan will soon audition for teenage parts. He congratulated the Bollywood star on this remarkable occasion while encouraging him to continue defying natural laws.
Fans and entertainment industry figures flooded social media with birthday messages for Khan throughout the day. The actor will next appear in King, a film directed by Siddharth Anand that features his daughter Suhana Khan.
