On November 2, Shah Rukh Khan turned 59 years old, but his birthday has become a moment of great outpouring from a variety of stars from all the films he has done. He also celebrated SRK Day by organizing a fan meet where he answered questions about his life and those about him. During the event, he told everybody something that he had changed and with pride announced to everyone, “Another good thing, I’m not smoking any more guys.” And although he claimed to have expected being breathless throughout the event, he was all right and “catching up,” which the crowd roared in applause in appreciation of.
