What better way to celebrate turning 50 than standing on the balcony of your house and seeing the thousands of adoring fans waiting to greet you on your special day? SRK not only came out to wave to his fans but he also brought along son Ab'ram to join in before this Khan cut a cake with his family, including wife Gauri and kids Aryan, Suhana and Ab'ram.

Shah Rukh Kahn took to Twitter to express how humbled he was by all the love and attention he received on his birthday.

Here at ANOKHI Media, we thought we would help celebrate the King's birthday by taking a look back at his top 10 tracks from the '90s until now.

1. "Tujhe Dekha To" – Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)

Singers: Lata Mangeshkar and Kumar Sanu
Composer: Jatin-Lalit

One of the most memorable moments in the film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is when Shah Rukh Khan's character, Raj, is in a field of flowers declaring his love for Kajol's character, Simran. How much more romantic can it get? After this particular moment, every girl based their love story on finding a Raj.

2. "Meri Mehbooba" – Pardes (1997)
Singers: Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik
Composer: Nadeem–Shravan

He loves her, he loves her not. Arjun is not supposed to fall in love with Ganga, but he has been looking for his Mehbooba and Ganga is everything he wants in a girl. What do you do when you are the one that helped set her up with your best friend?

3. "Chaiyya Chaiyya" – Dil Se (1998)
Singers: Sukhwinder Singh and Sapna Awasthi
Composer: A.R. Rahman

The BBC World Service conducted an international poll to choose the top ten popular songs, and "Chaiyya Chaiyya" was actually voted ninth on the poll by the 155 countries that voted. The video was shot on a moving train, and Malaika Arora Khan, the model who danced with SRK in the track, said, "The 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' song was shot exactly how you see it on the screen. No camera tricks, no back projection, no post-production special effects!' The dance routine was choreographed by Farah Khan in just four days.

4. "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" – Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)
Singers: Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik
Composer: Jatin-Lalit

That moment you realize you're in love is an amazing feeling, and all three characters in this track have just worked out that they're in love. The only problem is that there's just one man and two women, so someone's heart is about to break. And because of that, the audience is about to feel really bad for Anjali. Thankfully, we now know that she gets her man in the end.

5. "Humko Humise Chura Lo" – Mohabbatien (2000)
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar and Udit Narayan
Composer: Jatin-Lalit

Known for being the cheeky bachelor in most of his films, Shah Rukh Khan took on a completely different role in Mohabbatein. This time, he played an older, sophisticated school teacher. In "Humko Humise Chura Lo" we see Shah Rukh Khan's character, Raj, dream about his love, who committed suicide after her father rejected him. The song becomes that much more emotional when you know the backstory.

6. "Suraj Hua Maddham" – Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001)
Singers: Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam
Composer: Sandesh Shandilya

Bringing back one of the best Bollywood onscreen couples, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol make everyone fall in love again with the song "Suraj Hua Maddham." The shots in the video alone are epic, with SRK posing in front of a sunset and Kajol in front of the pyramids in Egypt.

7. "Kal Ho Na Ho" – Kal Ho Na Ho (2003)
Singer: Sonu Nigam
Composer: Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy

A love triangle is always hard, but when one of the trio is actually dying and purposely tries to set up the other two, knowing they're perfect for each other, the song becomes that much more poignant.

8. "Tere Liye" – Veer Zaara (2004)
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar and Roop Kumar Rathod
Composers: Madan Mohan and revised by Sanjeev Kohli

^{Photo Credit: www.imdb.com}

An absolutely epic love story takes us through time where we see the younger Veer fall in love with Zaara, a girl he's not allowed to marry. Veer is locked up, and 22 years later, his story is told by a now older-looking Shah Rukh Khan. The lyrics in "Tere Liye" will pull on each and every heartstring. Watching the song onscreen makes you cry as you see an older Zaara finally reuniting with her love.

9. "Dewanagi Dewanagi" – Om Shaanti Om (2007)
Singers: Shaan, Udit Narayan, Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan and Rahul Saxena
Composer: Vishal-Shekhar

Showing the Bollywood fraternity together as one: "Dewanagi Dewanagi" does this brilliantly with Shah Rukh's character dancing along with some of best actors out there. There is even a lovely shot of SRK together with Saif Ali Khan, Sanjay Dutt and former rival Salman Khan, which goes to prove that fallouts can only last so long.

10. "Tujh Mein Rab Dikta Hai" – Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)
Singers: Roop Kumar Rathod and Shreya Ghoshal
Composer: Salim-Sulaiman

This song has become iconic. It's used at many weddings for an entrance song. Shah Rukh Khan has two personalities in this film, and in this particular track, both are prominent: Suri, the quiet, boring husband, and Raj, the dancer.

Which one of these hits is your favourite SRK song? Let us know in the comments below!
