As Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan turns 60 on November 2, the global icon continues to receive admiration from around the world — this time from Hollywood actor and WWE legend John Cena. The heartwarming exchange between the two stars unfolded on social media during Khan’s popular AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter), where the Jawan actor interacts directly with his fans.
During the interactive session, one user asked Shah Rukh to describe John Cena in a single word. In his characteristic wit and humility, Khan replied, “He is a rock star. Very humble and kind.” The compliment quickly caught the attention of Cena, who responded with a touching message of his own. “I will always remember your kindness and our discussion. Thank you for the ongoing inspiration to me personally and to your fans worldwide! @iamsrk,” Cena wrote, earning widespread appreciation from fans of both stars.
A surreal 24 hours. So grateful for the Ambani family for their unmatched warmth and hospitality.
