It was for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began in India in 2020 that Shah Rukh appeared outside his Mannat bungalow and waved at his fans.

He greeted them with folded hands, flying kisses and struck his signature arms wide open pose.

As soon as the 56-year-old star, who was donning a blue t-shirt and a denim, appeared on the raised platform constructed in the compound of his Bandra bungalow, fans welcomed him with a loud cheer and chants of his name. Nearly 30 cops were stationed outside the residence to control the crowd.  The annual tradition of greeting his fans on Eid and his birthday had come to a halt due to the coronavirus pandemic.
