Shah Rukh Khan honoured as Dubai unveils tower named after him

Shah Rukh Khan has expressed heartfelt gratitude after a new commercial tower in Dubai was officially named in his honour. The Bollywood superstar shared an emotional message on social media, calling the gesture “humbling and deeply touching,” as Shahrukhz by Danube becomes a permanent part of the city’s skyline.

In his statement, Khan reflected on his long-standing bond with Dubai, describing it as a place that “celebrates dreams, ambition, and possibility.” Known globally as a symbol of success and perseverance, the actor said the new landmark embodies how far belief and hard work can take a person.

The tower, developed by Danube Properties, marks yet another collaboration between the brand and the actor, who praised the company for sharing the same “spirit of aspiration and excellence.” Their association has been central to several major campaigns, and the new commercial tower further solidifies the partnership.

Khan shares a long and celebrated relationship with Dubai, a city he frequently calls his “second home.”

As one of the UAE’s most recognisable cultural ambassadors, he has fronted multiple promotional campaigns for Dubai Tourism, showcasing the city’s vibrancy, luxury, and cosmopolitan spirit. Khan also owns property on the prestigious Palm Jumeirah, underscoring his personal connection to the emirate.
