Shah Rukh Khan faced online flak recently for not greeting fans from Mannat's balcony on his birthday. However, it's being seen in a new light after the news of the actor getting a death threat emerged, making his well-wishers come out in strong support of his decision. 

Shah Rukh turned 59 on November 2. Every year, thousands of fans gather outside Mannat, eager to catch a glimpse of Shah Rukh on his special day. However, this time, the actor didn’t step out due to security reasons.

Outpouring of love and support
