Shahrukh Khan celebrates his birthday on 2nd Nov.! who has turned to 44 this year, has risen from a television actor to the Badshah of Bollywood.

Shah Rukh was in London till October 30, he then flew to New Delhi via Mumbai for a professional engagement and then landed back in Mumbai only a hour before the clock struck 12 on his birthday.

Shah Rukh Khan might have turned 44, but the actor says that he still feels like a 25-year-old.

Speaking at a press conference in Mumbai on his birthday SRK said, "I accept the age that I am in, but I actually feel like I am 25 or 26, except for a few physical injuries that I have had."

Sharing his secret about his good looks Shah Rukh said, "The funny part is that when I look nice, people think that I must have done a plastic surgery, and when I look bad they say I am over and done with. The secret is that on days when I sleep well, I look good and the days when I don"t, I look old."

When asked about the year gone by SRK said, "Fortunately or unfortunately, I count my years by the work that I do. Last year has been bad on the physical work front, I haven"t done too much work either. Whatever little work that I have done has not done as well as I wanted it to be. Kolkata Knight Riders hasn"t reached the heights that I had wished it would. The injury has put me down in terms of my advertising, endorsements, meetings etc. But on the other hand, what has been wonderful this year is that I have had time to introspect, I have become quieter. I have been able to spent a lot of time with my children. Somehow, all this has made me feel more energetic and happy."

Sounding positive about the future SRK said, "Because of this one year break, you all will have to deal with a lot more energy, lot more work and lot more happiness for the next two years." source: NDTV
