Shah Rukh Khan hoists national flag with his family at his Mumbai home on Independence Day

Shah Rukh Khan hoisted the Indian flag at his Mumbai home Mannat on Thursday to mark India's 78th Independence Day. Khan celebrated the day with his family at home - a tradition that they have been following for years. 

Keeping up with the tradition, he hoisted the Indian flag at his house. He was photographed with his daughter Suhana, wife Gauri and the rest of the family.

After hoisting the flag, the actor treated his fans gathered outside his house with a special moment as he climbed up a platform near the boundary wall to wave at them. He was seen folding his hands to express gratitude and showered flying kisses to the fans.

The actor was seen sporting long hair off late and on Thursday, he was dressed in a white t-shirt and jeans. He wore sunglasses to complete his look. His wife Gauri and daughter Suhana also wore matching white attire. His youngest son AbRam was also present for the celebration at the house dressed in a white shirt.

The actor later took to social media to wish his fans on Independence Day. “Let’s celebrate our beautiful country India with pride in our hearts…. Happy Independence Day and love to all,” he wrote while sharing a picture with his family with the Indian flag in the background.
