As Shah Rukh Khan turns 60, celebrations for the “Baadshah of Bollywood” have begun across the world — from Mumbai to Peru. The Delhi-born superstar, who began his journey with television shows like Fauji and Circus, went on to rule Indian cinema with iconic performances in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai, Swades, Pathaan and Jawan. Over three decades, SRK has redefined romance, embodied versatility and become one of the most influential figures in global entertainment.His charm continues to transcend borders. Claudia Calle and Manigret Aparicio, ardent fans from Peru, have travelled to Mumbai to celebrate their idol’s birthday. “Shah Rukh means love,” says Claudia, who even named her home “Mannat” after the actor’s residence and made 27 handmade figurines of his famous characters as a tribute.
