SRK turns 45, celebrates with Don 2 unit in Berlin

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan may be busy shooting for Don 2 in Berlin but he rang in his 45th birthday in style today, partying with his family and Hrithik Roshan in the German capital.

"Have not had so much fun on my birthday before," tweeted Shah Rukh adding that he had partied with his children, Hrithik, Sussanne and the gang of Don 2.

"Thanks for making me feel so special everyone around the world. I am half way home now...but promise to keep u all happy in the next half," wrote the
actor who is fondly called King Khan by his fans.

Shah Rukh said Karan Johar could not make it to Berlin since he was down with malaria. On October 31, he attended the release of My Name Is Khan in Rome which Karan had to give a miss due to his illness.

However, Karan posted a tweet after a long time to wish SRK. "So its SRK's bday...a tweet is warranted!! To the man responsible for my career and dreams!! Thank you.. and love u lots bhai!!!," he wrote.

Arjun Rampal, who has been dropped from the Don sequel wrote: "Have a fab day and a fantastic year.. We will miss you here in Mumbai, big hug.. love Arjun."

Extending birthday wishes to Shah Rukh, Ritiesh Deshmukh said that knowing and watching him has been a constant learning experience.

Among the other Bollywood personalities who wished SRK were fashion designer Manish Malhotra and actress Bipasha Basu.

SRK has had only one film this year My Name is Khan which released in February.

However, the release got mired in controversy after Shiv Sena objected to his comments lamenting the exclusion of Pakistani players in the third edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

SRK stood by his comments and refused to apologise to the Sena. Posters of the film were torn at cinema halls in Mumbai and Thane by the Sena workers describing SRK as a "traitor".

Cinema hall owners had to release the film in a phased manner on the first day to stop any attempts to attack the theatres.

The Maharashtra government put up a strong police bandobast outside theatres screening the movie and audiences also turned out in large numbers to watch the film.

On Sena working President Uddhav Thackeray's 50th birthday in July this year, the party mouthpiece 'Saamana' carried an advertisement from the actor's film production company 'Red Chilles' wishing the Sena leader.

Sena said the paper could not stop anybody from giving advertisements. MNS President Raj Thackeray ridiculed the party during the recent election campaign in neighbouring Kalyan-Dombivali saying that when Sena workers were facing police ire for protesting against Shah Rukh, the party leadership was accepting advertisements from the actor.

Shah Rukh has not commented on this issue so far.
