Security Concerns may have impacted SRK’s public appearance on his birthday
This is not the first time where the superstar has been threatened. In the past, Shah Rukh Khan revealed had been receiving death threats in 2023 following the success of his films Pathaan and Jawan.

Although his team hasn’t released any statements or made any claims on the matter, the increased security measures underscore the gravity of the situation.
Police takes matter seriously
Followed by the threats given to Baba Siddiqui, who was also close to Shah Rukh Khan, and the continuous threats given to Salman Khan, Mumbai Police are taking this threat seriously and are working to apprehend the culprit. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are awaited.
