On Thursday, the Brida author shared a video that was posted by SRK, showcasing the sea of love outside his Mumbai residence Mannat following Pathaan's success.

Coelho wrote these words for SRK: "King. Legend. Friend. But above all great actor. (for those who don't know him in the West, I strongly suggest "My name is Khan - and I am not a terrorist")."

In response, SRK wrote: "You are always too kind my friend. Let us meet up sooner than soon! Bless you."

Paulo Coelho, a self-confessed fan of Shah Rukh Khan's performance in My Name Is Khan had tweeted this a few years back. "My Name Is Khan (2009) is the best movie I watched this year. Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan, Congrats for My name is Khan."

"I wish we could see more of your movies in Europe. I had to wait 6 yrs to watch this," he wrote in another tweet.

Responding to the author's tweet, SRK wrote: "Send me your address sir I will supply you all Indian films as they release. We read u as soon as u write...v r blessed. Thanx."
