Shah Rukh Khan got emotional about his mother, Latif Fatima Khan, on her 74th birth anniversary.

The 49-year-old “Chennai Express” star took to Twitter to share a picture of her and joked he would have been slapped by her for revealing her age, had she been alive.

“She would be 74 years today and I would be slapped for telling her age… it’s a happy day today,” he captioned the photo.

Shah Rukh’s mother died in 1991 from complications of diabetes, a year before he made his big screen debut.

The actor is currently working on Rohit Shetty’s “Dilwale”, which also stars Kajol, Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, and Vinod Khanna.
