Shah Rukh Khan had many reasons to glow on his birthday last week. For one, his Diwali release RA.One had broken all box-office records and secondly he got a good, long sleep after months. He was touched by the fans and the media who had turned up to wish him and of course, the sight of several gifts lining his bed when he woke up late in the day! “Some people at the airport were the first ones to wish me, then it was family and friends, and the media that never fails to turn up on my birthday year after year. I am really touched and overwhelmed,” he dimpled, saying that the best gift he got this year was the eight hours of sound sleep, and of course the birthday card made by his daughter, Suhana.

Khan was not worried about the mixed response to RA.One. “It was made with a lot of love and sincerity. That I managed to make something different gives me a high. It doesn’t bother me that some did not like my film. It was discussed so much that it will be remembered for a long time,’ he said with a smile.
