For an actor who is now romancing a third generation of heroines, the word 'ageless' comes to mind. But the truth is that Shah Rukh Khan has been in the business of wooing lovely ladies, saving the world and delivering the occasional beating to the baddies for 23 long years. His first release was Deewana (1992).

He tweeted the same in a celebratory tweet today:

This was enough prompt for fans to begin celebrations of their own:

Some were nostalgic, digging up old keepsakes to remind fans of his earlier glory days:

Some listed a few of his other achievements:

Others quoted his life motto that helped him along his journey:

And a few people were just glad to be part of his:

One spelled out the cause for celebration clearly:

It's not the longevity, but the consistency, of his career that is worthy of applause.

In the 24th year of his career, SRK is working on three films - Raees, in which he's our beloved Mahira Khan's leading man; Dilwale, in which he'll romance Kajol once again and Aditya Chopra's Fan. His admirers can't wait to see them!
