In an unfortunate turn of events, at least 30 ardent fans of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan had their mobile phones stolen during the actor’s 58th birthday celebration outside his residence in suburban Bandra. The incident unfolded in the early hours of Thursday as a sea of SRK enthusiasts had gathered outside his iconic home, Mannat, to extend their wishes to the beloved actor.

Around 12.30 am, he discovered that his mobile phone, which he had kept in his pocket, was missing. Upon further inquiry, he realized that many others in the crowd had also fallen victim to the theft.
