The King Khan of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan turns 47 today. However, the actor is not going to celebrate his birthday on a high-profile party due to death of Yash Chopra. Yash Chopra died last month in Mumbai, and Shahrukh;s next film is directed by Yash Chopra ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’.

Shahrukh Khan said, “I’m planning to work that’s all I know at least during the daytime. Besides, it has never been a special day for me. Of course, I’ll make sure that I thank all my well-wishers from radio stations and newspapers, as usual”

Many of his fans gathered outside his residence Mannat on his birthday to wish him best wishes. Shahrukh said, “It has become a thing now. Every single year, I see people arriving with cakes and cards. It’s a simple joy. But I wake up late, so maybe I should set up a shamiana for them to help them avoid the sun. It’s a humbling experience to greet people.”

Further, Shahrukh said, “It’s funny how I end up celebrating my birthdays with them! In fact, whether there be a party or not, I somehow spend this particular day with the media. Isn’t that sad?”

The 21st wedding anniversary fell just four days after the death of Yash Chopra and the event turned out to be subdued.

Shahrukh said, “With what happened, you don’t feel like celebrating and making noise. That night, Adi (Aditya Chopra) even asked me to go out for dinner with Gauri but you know how it feels like… having lost someone so close to your heart.”

The actor has strong bond with late filmmaker Yash Chopra and his film is set to release this Diwali, 13 November, ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’. Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma will been in lead role in the film.

King Khan said, “Strange as it is, we rarely discussed a scene or a shot. On the contrary, we spoke about life in general. The most beautiful thing he ever said to me was ‘Of all the people I know, you love women in the most respectful way. I’ve known you for so long. I can’t be wrong about this’. That was heartening.”
