West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee extended warm birthday wishes to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on his 60th birthday, affectionately calling him “my brother.” Sharing her message on X (formerly Twitter), Mamata expressed her hope that SRK continues to enrich Indian cinema with his remarkable talent and charisma.

Mamata Banerjee’s heartfelt message reflects the close bond she shares with SRK, who is also the owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders IPL franchise—a connection that deepens his relationship with the state of West Bengal. She has previously expressed concern for Shah Rukh’s well-being, notably when he suffered a muscle injury during the shooting of his upcoming film, ‘King’.

The birthday wishes come amid nationwide celebrations for one of Bollywood’s most beloved icons, whose influence extends beyond film into sports and philanthropy. Mamata’s affectionate note highlights Shah Rukh Khan’s enduring impact not just as an actor, but as a cultural and social figure deeply cherished by fans and leaders alike.

As SRK celebrates this milestone, Mamata Banerjee’s message adds a personal touch to the festivities, emphasizing friendship and mutual respect between the star and the political leader.
