On Wednesday greeted hundreds of admirers stationed outside his Bandra residence to celebrate his 57th birthday and thanked them for making him feel "special and happy."

After a no-show last year, the actor revived his annual ritual of meeting fans from the balcony of his sea-facing bungalow, ‘Mannat,’ one of the landmarks of Mumbai.

Dressed in a white T-shirt and denim, Shah Rukh waved, blew kisses, and spread his arms in his signature pose to the scores of fans waiting to catch a glimpse of their favorite star since morning.

He clicked a selfie with his admirers and shared it on his official Twitter handle.

?"It’s so lovely to live in front of the sea…..the sea of love that spreads all around me on my birthday….thank you. Grateful for making me feel so special….& happy," the superstar tweeted.

Kicking off his birthday celebrations last night, the Bollywood star came to his balcony around 12:10 am and waved at his admirers.

The road leading up to SRK’s house was chock-a-block with fans singing birthday songs for their idol, flashing torchlight from their smartphones.

Sudhir Kothari, an ardent Shah Rukh fan, was among the many outside Mannat to see his hero. He flew in from Chennai to the city on Tuesday.

"He came on the balcony around 12.10-12.15 am and was there for about 15 minutes. He was expressing gratitude to all of us. He did his signature pose and also clicked a selfie. We come to relive this moment every year. It is special for us," Sudhir, 34, founder of the SRK Chennai fan club, told PTI.

In 2020, Shah Rukh promised "a bigger and better party" on his next birthday. The actor, who was then in Dubai to support his team Kolkata Knight Riders at the Indian Premier League, had also urged admirers not to gather outside his bungalow on his birthday in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To celebrate his 57th birthday, production banner Yash Raj Films on Wednesday re-released his iconic 1995 romantic drama "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" across the country.
