Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 5 (ANI): Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan once again showcased his wit and charm, proving unbeatable on social media as he responded in his signature playful style to birthday wishes from friends and colleagues in the industry.

In one such instant, Shah Rukh had the most hilarious request for fellow actor Akshay Kumar as the latter sent him birthday greetings.

Earlier on Sunday, Akshay penned a candid message for SRK that read, 'Many, many congratulations on your special day, Shahrukh. 60 ka lagta nahi hai vaise tu kahin se. Shakal se 40, akal se 120 ;) Happy Birthday dost. Stay blessed @iamsrk.'

To this, the 'Jawan' actor could not help but hail Akshay's good looks as he added, 'Thank u Akki for singing Happy Birthday to me... you've taught me the secret to looking good and thinking smart.'

In a fun addition, Shah Rukh asked Akshay Kumar to teach him the tricks to wake up early in the morning. 'Ab Khiladi ki taraah jaldi uthna bhi sikhaade. Ha ha,' the caption read.

In his post, Akshay also shared an old picture, showing the actors from their younger days.

SRK also responded to birthday wishes from other Bollywood personalities, including Kajol, Juhi Chawla, Shilpa Shetty, and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, adding his trademark humour to social media.

'Took your advice... didn't count the candles. In fact, didn't even put them. Ha ha.. love you too much!' the actor commented in response to Kajol's wishes.
