Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his 58th birthday on Thursday and to mark the special day, the actor dropped the first teaser of his upcoming film Dunki. Shah Rukh, who has had a fantastic year with Pathaan and Jawan, met with his fans and spoke about his upcoming films and also put up a little dance performance.

Before starting the show, SRK said a few words in his fan’s memory and thanked him for starting a community that brought together all SRK fans. He said, “Mohammad Ashraf, who unfortunately was suffering from an illness for the past two years, passed away recently. He is no more. I have a small prayer for him. I would like everyone to pray for him in their hearts, then we’ll get on with the show. I know wherever Mohammad is, he will be very happy. He started to bring us together in a small way but it became so much bigger. Big thank you to Mohammad wherever you are. God bless you. Rest in peace, Mohammad.”
