Shashi Tharoor finds Shah Rukh Khan's '60' number deeply suspicious
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor lightened up his X page with his humour to wish Shah Rukh Khan, who turned 60 on Sunday.

In his witty message, Tharoor said: "Happy 60th Birthday to the ultimate King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan @iamsrk."
"I have to admit, I'm finding this '60' number deeply suspicious. A crack team of independent fact-checkers and forensic detectives investigated this "60" claim & concluded: 'In the complete and absolute absence of any discernible visual evidence—specifically, no non-photoshopped grey hair, no undeniable signs of slowing down, and a persistent appearance of someone significantly younger—the claim that Shah Rukh Khan is turning 60 cannot be factually confirmed'," the Congress MP said.
Happy 60th Birthday to the ultimate King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan @iamsrk !

Tharoor is clearly struck by how Khan keeps himself young even at 60.
"I suspect the official story is a cover-up & that SRK is actually starring in a real-life, decades-long, global-scale Bollywood adaptation of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.' He's ageing in reverse," he said.
Wishing him in his unique way and predicting Khan's future, Tharoor said: "I predict by the time he hits his "70th" birthday, he'll be auditioning for teenage roles. Mercifully, I don’t expect to be around when he turns into a child star. Congratulations on this unbelievable milestone, Shah Rukh! Please keep defying physics and biology, & confusing us all for many years to come."
