Snaptu: Shah Rukh's daughter hospitalised

Jan 28, 2011

The Bombay High Court today dismissed a PIL against Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan for alleged violation of construction norms as "frivolous" and imposed a cost on the petitioner for wasting its time.

Activist Simpreet Singh had filed a PIL against the actor alleging that a building, an extension of his bungalow "Mannat", a heritage property, had been constructed in gross violation of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) and other rules.

A division bench of Justice P B Majmudar and A Sayed threw out the PIL after observing that the petitioner had targeted the film star only for publicity. "There are so many buildings in the same line as Shah Rukh's building. Why have you (petitioner) taken an objection against only this building? Simply because he is a film star?," the bench asked.

According to the petition, the place where the building stands was reserved for an art gallery. The state government, however, informed the court that the reservation was cancelled in 2000 itself. Shah Rukh had purchased the land in 2003 and began construction in 2006.

"Prima facie it seems to be a publicity petition. If the court entertains such PILs then it would send a wrong signal. We have so many other PILs pertaining to poor people's causes to hear," Justice Majmudar remarked. The court imposed a cost of Rs 20,000 on the petitioner for wasting its time.

HC throws out "frivolous" petition against SRK

Jan 27, 2011

Shah Rukh Khan proved that he is the ultimate entertainer as he brought the house down at the launch of his show Zor ka Jhatka on Imagine.

The party held at JW Marriott also marked the completion of three years of the channel. The actor was at his charming best and wooed all the gals. Saumya Tandon even got a peck on her cheek from the Badshah. But that doesn't mean that our telly guys went completely ignored. We saw Akashdeep Saigal posing with some hotties. Shabbir Ahluwalia too had a great time catching up with his pals at the do.

Mink, Narayani Shastri, Hanif Hilal, Karishma Tanna, Dheeraj Kumar, Goldie Behl and Vrajesh Hirjee were among the other guests seen having a great time.

SRK at Zor ka Jhatka's launch party!

Gooood morning my yummy chocolate pies! How goes it this morning? I'm delighted to be back after a short break and feel ready to tell you what's happening in Bollywood's glamour bylanes. For starters, Sher Lock Holmes has dropped in to tell me that he's in awe of King Khan...I mean Shah Rukh Khan.

Turns out that Holmes and Khan have been exchanging emails and mobile messages and now, Holmes, for the first time in his life, has become a fan of an actor. When I prod him, my expert jasoos says that although SRK talks a lot in person and on TV shows, he's very crisp when he writes his emails and mobile messages. Meaning?

Holmes explains that when he writes emails or messages, they are so short that sometimes, if one is not well-versed with his style of writing, they may not even understand what he writes. Of course, my dear dimpled Khan replies very quickly to urgent messages and emails but otherwise, everything waits till he's free.

Shah Rukh Khan on 'India First'

Box-office moneyspinner set to produce and star in director's 'Student of the Year' project; likely to play a professor

Shah Rukh Khan will play a significant role in Karan Johar's next film, according to sources close to the production.

The director, who is launching Mahesh Bhatt's daughter in "Student of the Year", has ramped up old friend Khan's performance from a cameo to a much bigger role, most likely as a professor. Khan is also the film's producer.

"Rumours about SRK acting in KJo's next had been doing the rounds but Karan's constant silence about the film started giving people the impression that SRK was only planning to produce the film," the Times of India quoted an unnamed source as saying.

"But actually, both SRK and Karan are co-producing the film, which will launch newcomers Varun Dhawan , Siddarth Malhotra and Aaliya Bhatt. SRK will play the role of one of the professors in the college. The role will not be limited to a cameo; it will be full-fledged one," the source said.

Johar is reportedly taking a month-long break to travel abroad, where he hopes to finish the script of the movie and flesh out Khan's character.

Now it's Prof Shah Rukh for Karan Johar

Jan 26, 2011

Kunal M Shah, MUMBAI MIRROR, Jan 27, 2011, 12.04am IST

In our report dated November 29, 2010 on Karan Johar launching Mahesh Bhatt's daughter in his next film, we told you that SRK was likely to play a cameo in the film. Not only will SRK co-produce KJo's film Student Of The Year, he will also play a significant role in the film.

In fact, Karan, who is taking a monthlong break to go overseas and finish the script of this film, plans to work on SRK's character.

So all rumours about KJo working without his best friend Shah Rukh Khan for the first time in his next directorial, can now safely be put to rest.

Our source said, "Rumours about SRK acting in KJo's next had been doing the rounds but Karan's constant silence about the film started giving people the impression that SRK was only planning to produce the film. But actually, both SRK and Karan are co-producing the film, which will launch newcomers Varun Dhawan , Siddarth Malhotra and Aaliya Bhatt. SRK will play the role of one of the professors in the college. The role will not be limited to a cameo; it will be full-fledged one."

Apparently, a perfect outline of Shah Rukh's character in the film will only be ready by the time KJo returns from his month-long trip. We sent a text message to Karan but he chose not to reply.

Snaptu: Shaina NC turns chat show host

Jan 25, 2011

Gauri Khan is rather miffed with her husband Shah Rukh Khan these days. She isn't very happy with the way SRK has been behaving. What has SRK done to be at the receiving end of his wife's wrath?

Well, the reason is that King Khan has apparently been neglecting his health for a while now. The actor, who has been traveling a lot and on a rather hectic schedule has apparently not been taking adequate rest. Well, the time difference is also to blame.

"I know that I am traveling too much these days, I am shuttling between time zones and continents. I do lose track of time once in a while, but I don't ever get sick because of jet-lag. Everybody complains of sleep issues due to excessive travel, but I've yet to experience that," says SRK.

Gauri Guess how many hours Shah Rukh Khan sleeps? He reportedly sleeps for some three-four hours and that's not all. The actor believes it's enough!

"Yes, three-four hours of sleep is just enough for me. Besides, it's me who has chosen this kind of life. So like everything, it will have its share of good and bad things that it brings along. And I couldn't thank God enough for the kind of life he has given me," told Shah Rukh to cinehour.com.

Wife Gauri is understandably perturbed. In fact the family seems to have devised a way to make sure SRK gets his siesta.

"When I'm at home, nobody wakes me up. They switch off the alarms and don't wake me up till I am up myself. So once in a while I do get to catch up on sleep, thanks to her," he said.

Well, SRK better mend his ways or as they say, "...Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!"

http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/Print/654500.aspx

Gauri Khan is angry with SRK

Good morning my yellow bell peppers! Here's what I need to really reveal: gups and shups. For starters, Sher Lock Holmes dropped by on the sets of Ra.One and returned home extremely elated after meeting Shah Rukh Khan. He tells me, Holmes sillies, not SRK, that the hero is so involved with his film that he doesn't like any outsider snooping around.

He has ensured that every line of dialogue that goes into the film is perfect. For that, he makes sure that the dialogue writer of Ra.One Kanika Dhillon is always present on the sets for creative inputs. The girl adheres to whatever he says. She's on the sets all the time that Badshah bhai shoots.

http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/Print/654207.aspx

SRK is Mr Perfect

Shah Rukh Khan, who will be seen in two of the year's biggest releases, his home production RA.One, and Farhan Akhtar's Don 2, had just one release last year, friend and filmmaker Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan. The actor often found it frustrating and tiresome to be at home, nursing an injury that he suffered while filming My Name Is Khan.

"I had three screws inserted in my body due to the shoulder injury. Recovery wasn't exactly speedy. It took me six-eight months to resume work. I missed being in the studios at that time," sighs Khan, backstage at the recently concluded Apsara Awards. "On several occasions, I thought that I should start on a new film, but Don 2 and RA.One required physical agility, and I wasn't in great shape at that point. But now, when both films are near completion, I will take on more work."

The actor, before even making his superhero entry on the big screen, says he is a hit with his kids, Aryan and Suhana. "It's heart-warming that they feel their daddy is their superhero. They adore me and it's one of the nicest feelings to have," says Khan with a dimpled smile. "I run around in tights and underwear at home. When someone says that RA.One is for kids, I tell them it's not just for them, it's for elders too. I've made the film for my kids and for myself, because I'm still a child at heart."

Khan's superhero fantasy will arrive in cinema halls in October. However, right in the beginning of the year, trade pundits have put it atop the list of the most awaited. "It's one of my most ambitious projects by far. It's a family's story, about a father and a son," says the actor. "The bad guy is Raavan because according to Hindu mythology, he possessed bad vibes. The good guy is Jeevan because he gives life to everyone."

The actor-producer credits Rakesh Roshan's Krrish and Goldie Behl's Drona for introducing desi superheroes in their movies. "Being a tech geek, producing RA.One was the best way to take the genre one step ahead. Indian animators have worked on the VFX in my film. I can proudly say that it matches international standards," beams Khan. "I'm not pompous. I've worked for seven years to create the best VFX team at Red Chillies. And trust me, if I fail, I'll only try harder the second time round."

Look who arrived looking gorgeous as ever at Neelam and Sameer Soni's wedding reception yesterday? It's Aishwarya Rai. The lady wore a dark pink back-less salwar suit and was without her dear hubby. While others who added Bollywood zing to the reception were Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee and also Karan Johar.

SRK and Rani took some time out and were seen enjoying each other's company and posing for photogs, but we can't say the same for Ash and Rani. It seems the theme for the party was pink and white as most of the ladies walked in pink-coloured dresses. Rani was quite the cynosure of eyes; she looked lovely in pink and white ghagra-choli.

Here are more stills from Sameer Soni and Neelam's wedding. Catch your favourite celebs:

Shahrukh Khan at Neelam-Sameer Soni’s wedding reception

The reality shows have mostly opened work opportunities for its participants either in other reality shows or fiction shows. The same has happened with this year's Bigg Boss 4 winner Shweta Tiwari and one of the top finalists Dolly Bindra.

Dolly has remained one of the much talked contestants in Bigg Boss house for her loud behaviour and foul mouth. The actress has reportedly signed Imagine TV's upcoming reality show 'Zor Ka Jhatka', which will be anchored by Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan. Dolly was off to Argentina after her Bigg Boss stint and has returned to the country recently.

On the other hand, Shweta Tiwari has been reportedly approached for Sony TV's show 'Adaalat' for appearing in a special episode. Interestingly, Shweta will get the opportunity to share screen space with her 'Kasauti Zindagi Ki' co-star Ronit Roy, who is the lead actor of the show. She has been offered to be a part of the Valentine's Day special episode of the show.

Shweta says that nothing has been finalized yet. However, she did not deny that she was approached for the show. She adds that they are yet to get back her for confirmation and that will depend upon her pay package.

It seems after winning one crore from 'Bigg Boss 4', the actress has turned pricey and will not participate in any show if her worth value is not given!

On February 1, 2008, Ekta Kapoor hosted the first Balaji Awards in Mumbai. The show was memorable for Shah Rukh Khan's Chak de! Finale act with 10 TV girls that included Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi's original Tulsi, Smriti Irani, and her replacement, Gautami Gadgil. "The awards went off very well but the channel we had tied up with shut shop and we were grounded," sighs Kapoor.

This year, on February 12, at Yashraj Studio, Mumbai, Kapoor will be back with the Global Indian Film and Television Honors (GIFTH) that will felicitate achievers in six categories — Popular, Technical, Programming, Achievement (for which there will be no nominations), Special Honors and Voters' Choice, along with 30 sub-categories. The event will be telecast on Colors on February 27.

Sixty-five per cent of the awards will be for movies and the remaining 35 per cent for TV. "Besides the Apsara Awards, none of the others integrated film and TV even though satellite is the biggest market for our movies and its stars are the big draws on TV," reasons the soap queen-turned-moviemaker.

Bigger, better
Kapoor promises a line-up of interesting acts, with Bollywood's Badshah bringing the curtains down again. "It was Shah Rukh who made the last awards unforgettable. We are re-launching, hoping for a bigger and better show this time, and for that we have to have SRK. He's become synonymous with our awards," she asserts.

The nominations are expected to be announced sometime this week. Kapoor insists that she's clueless about whether her films Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai and Love Sex Aur Dhokha, or any of her TV shows, have made it to the top list. "I don't know and I don't want to know. I've been busy roping in presenters and performers. I have an independent jury to decide the awards without any kind of lobbying. I want them to be fair and unbiased, with the really talented and deserving going home happy," she says, pointing out that at the earlier show, Balaji's TV serials picked up only three awards.

However, despite her best intentions, award shows have invariably sparked off controversies. That draws a tongue-in-cheek retort: "Well, if it goes with the territory, why not?"

SRK to perform at Ekta’s awards

While, Shahrukh Khan was seen expressing all his good thoughts about Hrithik Roshan and Suzanne Roshan on the show Koffee With Karan, Suzanne just went crazy about SRK. When the host Karan Johar asked Hrithik's wife Suzanne that what would she do if she wakes up as Gouri Khan one day. To this bang came the answer, "I will go and kiss him on his lips."

Buzz up!

Well yes, you read it right, Suzanne Roshan is so crazy about Shahrukh that she would like to smooch him if for one morning she wakes up as Gauri Khan. Looks like Shahrukh mania is spreading day by day, first it was Vidya Balan who went gaga over Shahrukh and expressed her desire of being romanced by him on-screen and now it is Hrithik Roshan's love, life and wife Suzanne.

Hmm!! hope Hrithik also gets an equal chance to kiss like Suzanne.

Snaptu: SRK's a long-distance host

Back in Mumbai after a hectic travel schedule, actor Shah Rukh Khan says that he has never experienced jet-lag in his life. The only effect that the months of incessant travelling has on him is that he, sometimes, loses track of time.

"I know that I am traveling too much these days, I am shuttling between time zones and continents. I do lose track of time once in a while, but I don't ever get sick because of jet-lag. Everybody complains of sleep issues due to excessive travel, but I've yet to experience that," says Shah Rukh.

However, there's one person who constantly worries about the superstar not catching enough sleep and that's his wife, Gauri.

"I sleep for three hours a day generally. I can see everybody in deep sleep around me even when I am on flight. When I was travelling to Singapore, everybody would catch up with a litle nap but I just couldn't. I was wide awake. Gauri is sometimes concerned about this and keeps telling me that I should slow down a bit, and catch up on my sleep. But like all husbands, I have only one answer for her — 'Lovers, too, don't sleep'," he laughs adding, "I love my work and what I am doing!"

But then like all wives, Gauri has come up with a way to ensure that her husband does manage to get some sleep when he's at home.

"When I'm at home, nobody wakes me up. They switch off the alarms and don't wake me up till I am up myself. So once in a while I do get to catch up on sleep, thanks to her," says Shah Rukh.

But is three hours of sleep enough for him? The actor replies in the affirmative. "Yes, three -four hours of sleep is just enough for me. Besides, it's me who has chosen this kind of life. So like everything, it will have its share of good and bad things that it brings along. And I couldn't thank God enough for the kind of life he has given me," he adds.

Lovers don't sleep: Shah Rukh Khan

In an exclusive interview, the star talks science fiction films, his new blue eyes, the Oscars and Salman

Shah Rukh Khan wants to clear rumours about just how far he threw his weight around on the sets of his much-vaunted home production, "Ra.One". But quiz him on Salman Khan and he clams up. In an interview for Emirates247.com, he talks about the Oscars, 'Ra.One' and select other subjects.

It's being said that you have ghost directed 'Ra. One'?

You keep reading news that I am directing the films in which I am working in. No it is not true. I have worked in 70 films till date and I haven't directed any one of them. No one else has directed them too. The director has only directed them. Even 'Ra.One' has been directed by Anubhav Sinha only. I haven't directed it. Anubhav is a very humble man. He does not say anything. He is media shy too and he does no talk about his work. He does not talk much. He is a fantastic director. Insh'allah when this film comes out, people will understand his style of working, his talent and his passion towards his work.

'Ra.One' is billed as the first action thriller from India which is also a science fiction. Why such a subject?

Actually we haven't made films like this at all. No one has made science fiction as an action thriller in India at all. It is important that our regular filmmakers should come out with some good films. I have been in films for over 20 years, but we haven't used technology well. Else we will keep making the same kind of films again and again. 'Krrish' and 'Drona' were tow marvellous attempts at making different kind of cinema using technology.

Your character has blue eyes in the film. Did you think about your fans who love your eyes?

Some of the girls like the blue eyes. Some like hazel and some like blue. This look is for the ones who love the blue eyes.

Which directors do you like working with?

I feel very fortunate to have some great directors to work with me they have made some marvellous films and I am happy to have gotten to work with them and I am indebted to them. People like Yash Chopra to Adi [Chopra], Farhan [Akhtar], Karan [Johar], Shimit Amin and even Anubhav Sinha have done a great job and I hope I keep on getting to work with them.

After you extended an olive branch, Salman has told us that he does not want to have any kind of a friendship with you?

Can we talk about something else, please?

'My Name is Khan' did not make it at the Oscars. How do you feel?

Well, we believed a lot in the film. Karan and Shibani Bhatija wrote the film with a lot of passion and that has paid off.

You think 'Ra.One' also stands a chance?

'My Name is Khan' was clearly designed as an international film and it has an international appeal. That is why Fox Star was interested in it. 'Ra.One' is more of an Indian subject. I think will be happy if we like it in India and celebrate the film.

Shah Rukh: ‘I have not ghost directed Ra.One’

Munni and Sheila are now passé. This Diwali, Chhamak Challo will sizzle on screen. So says Kareena Kapoor for her song in Shah Rukh Khan's superhero fantasy flick, RA.One. "But it's not an item number," Kareena is quick to add. "It's one of Akon's two tracks, and an integral part of the storyline. It's fantastic!"

She adds that the ambience is south Indian, and choreographer Ganesh Hegde has incorporated some classical moves! "I've never done something like this before, I'm looking forward to people's reactions. I'd be lying if I didn't say it would be the biggest song of 2011. But I'll let the audience see it, and say it for me."

According to the trade verdict, RA.One is one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the year, but Kareena chooses to be diplomatic. "It would be unfair on my part to pick any one film but I'm sure whichever one anyone else picks will have me," she laughs. She's right, considering she has My Love Story with Salman Khan, Agent Vinod with beau Saif Ali Khan, Short Term Shaadi with Imran Khan and Aamir Khan's untitled suspense thriller. "I'm biased towards Agent Vinod as it's Saif and Dinesh's (Dinesh Vijan) home-production."

Her five films have over Rs 300 crore riding on them. Kareena is unfazed: "Shah Rukh is giving his everything to RA.One. Ditto Saif and Salman whose sister Alvira is producing My Love Story. Aamir is co-producing our film with Farhan Akhtar and Riteish Sidhwani, and Short Term Shaadi is being helmed by Karan Johar, who is like my brother. I'm happy that all the Khans wanted me in their film."

Chhamak Challo, the new Sheila?

Katrina, Bollywood's biggest sensation is moving quite fast and bagging roles with the biggest superstars of the country. This time it is our very own SRK, who is to romance Kat in Karan Johar's next movie.

The pair who has never worked together before are to be seen together very soon as plans are being made to cast Bolly's two most famous actors opposite each other. Even though things did not hit off exactly as planned with Katrina due to Salman's intrusion and she was asked not to share the same screen space with SRK. However things have cooled off since then after SRK has been already paired with all the leading ladies of the film industry.

This is just not it, the duo was also seen at a recent party talking to each other without any awkward moment cropping up between them. Things did not stop at this, SRK even escorted the beautiful Katrina to her car and she was seen leaving the party with KJo.

Now it seems only the might KJo himself can bring them together and make them work in a movie. People in love with both SRK and Kat, this might be the time to sit upright and wait for their movie to come up!

The reigning queen Katrina Kaif recreated the magic of Sheila, but with a twist at the 6th Apsara Awards produced by Wizcraft International.

The spunky actress Anushka Sharma came with her Band, Baaja and Baraat. Our Khiladi No. 1, Akshay Kumar couldn't stop himself from joining the lissome lass and they brought the house down with on beats of Patiala House. And talking about Patiala, how can we forget Punjab da puttar Dharamendra, who received a lifetime achievement award. For some comic relief, Dolly Bindra was there as Sajid Khan imitated the loud mouth ex-Bigg Boss housemate.

And he did not stop there. He also dressed to resemble Javed Akhtar and Vidhu Vinod Chopra while the audience rolled on the floor laughing! If everyone is being naughty, do you think King Khan could hold himself back? While announcing the awards for the best actress, he got the two gorgeous women, Vidya Balan and Anushka to kiss him on both his cheeks. Only Shah Rukh Khan has the 'cheek' to do that and get away with it! It was also action replay time for the original Baazigar of Bollywood as he went down the memory lane to recreate his best number that enthralled everyone.

When SRK got luck

Here's what your favourite celebrities have been up to.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan

The who's who of Bollywood were spotted at the red carpet during a function to announce the nominees of 56th Filmfare Awards, in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Leading the pack is Shah Rukh Khan whose movie My Name Is Khan has been nominated under the category of Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor in a Leading Role.

As for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, she's up for Best Female Actor in a leading role for Guzaarish.

It cannot get any bigger or better than this! Two icons of Bollywood and a heavyweight Hollywood A-lister are coming together to support the cause of education among the underprivileged in India.

Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Judi Dench will be working in tandem to promote education among the low-income groups of the country with the sole aim that when these kids become bread-winners, they will have a better life and in turn provide better opportunities to their children.

And bringing these top actors together is none other than the Oscar-winning sound engineer Resul Pookutty. His foundation has been silently working towards bettering the socio-economic conditions of the poverty struck groups but he believes that the time has come to go top gear. "It is unimaginable that even in the 21st century there is rampant illiteracy in India. We are making our presence felt in the world and this aspect is something that should definitely be tackled. Along with economy and cultural boom, India should not be spoken as a country that is also illiteracy stricken," Resul told TOI.

He added, "Without Amitabh Bachchan's blessing, my project would have not started at all. He has helped me with funds and goodness. It is time to implement new things. Just when I was planning different things, Judi Dench came to my rescue. She had spent eight weeks in the country while shooting her Hollywood project in Rajasthan. She saw the rich and the poor and was touched by the work that we were doing."

According to Resul, Judi will play a very active role in the project. "Judi has told me to draw plans and just tell her what is to be done and she will try her level best to do more than what has been asked of her," he said. SRK's inclusion certainly bolsters the plans further. "I have met Shah Rukh while working on his movie Ra.One. I told him all about our charity that is being supported by two big luminaries and he was more than keen to support. SRK is a silent benefactor and he too will be with us in this cause," Resul added.

SRK, Big B & Dench to work together

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Pakistani cousin Noor Jehan is looking forward to a reunion with him after over a decade, when she visits India next month.

Noor Jehan, a resident of the Shah Wali Qataal area of Peshawar, last met Shah Rukh when she travelled to Mumbai in 1997. She is hoping to meet the 'King Khan' of Bollywood when she visits India to attend the wedding of a relative.

"I am going to New Delhi in the first week of February and will stay there for around 10 days. I shall approach Shah Rukh and if he spares time for me, I will proceed to Mumbai from New Delhi," she said.

"I am proud of my cousin and have named my child after him. Shah Rukh has given us pride and recognition," Noor Jehan said.

Keeping in mind Shah Rukh's love for the city of his ancestors, Noor Jehan said she would take some special gifts for the star, including Peshawari chappals and a silk suit.

During an earlier visit to Peshawar, Shah Rukh bought a pair of chappals that he used for about seven years, she said.

Noor Jehan said when her brother Mansoor visited India in 2001, Shah Rukh had asked him to bring a pair of chappals. Mansoor took three pairs for him, she added.

This will be Noor Jehan's second visit to India. She last visited India in 1997, when she and her husband Asif Shahab stayed with the star for around one month.

Taj Mohammad, Shah Rukhs father, was the youngest of five brothers. Noor Jehan's father Ghulam Muhammad, popularly known as Gamma, was an eminent Peshawari who opposed the Partition in 1947 and was associated with the Congress party.

Noor Jehan said Shah Rukh had been in contact with her for the past few years.

"Earlier, we lost contact as Shah Rukh kept changing his phone numbers and, because of his busy schedule, he could not keep in touch with us," she said.

She said she got Shah Rukh's phone number from Surinder Kapoor, the father of Bollywood star Anil Kapoor, whose family too has its roots in Peshawar. Surinder Kapoor often keeps in touch with people in his hometown, she said.

Recalling her last visit to India, Noor Jehan said Shah Rukh received her warmly and his response was very cordial and affectionate.

"Though he has not met his relatives (in Peshawar) for quite a long time, he keeps himself apprised of our well-being whenever he meets our relatives in UK, America or any other country in the world," she said.

Shah Rukh had visited Peshawar in 1978 and 1979, his relatives said. Noor Jehan said the star loves Peshawar because he has roots there.

"Shah Rukh also wishes to visit Peshawar and he had conveyed a message to us that if he visited Pakistan even for a single day, he will come to the city of his father," she said.

his box office clout unbeatable and comparable only to the other two Khans, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan (especially after DABANGG).

Last year fans were treated to just one SRK film, MY NAME IS KHAN, and after flooring the critics and his fans, as well as the discerning audience with a superlative heart felt performance in MNIK, Shahrukh disappeared from the big and small screen, although he made appearances in various ads.
However, it was not a long overdue vacation or holiday that he owed his family or something alike that kept him away from the lime light, but it was health concerns that forced him to take a long break.

Shahrukh talked about his shoulder injury and the surgery and said that he had to stay at home and recoup after that. Talking about his pains he said that he had almost no rest for about three months as he could not even sleep peacefully. In fact, he had to sit and sleep and could not even perform a day-to-day task like taking a bath due to the extreme pain that he felt due to his injury.

SRK explained that following his surgery he was forced to take a long break to recuperate during which he spent almost four to five hours everyday in physiotherapy. He also disclosed that although it took a lot of time for pain to ease and wounds to heal yet he now feels healthy and fit.

Well, that certainly is what heroes are made of; they know how to fight against all odds and come out with flying colours and SRK is indeed a superhero in real life too and an inspiration for all!

The actors that workout together stay together is the new mantra in Bollywood. Sanjay Dutt was one of the first superstars to let all the young boys who entered films workout in his gymnasium.

Uday Chopra and Hrithik Roshan exercised together for the longest time. Now, it is Shah Rukh Khan's gym at Mannat that is the latest hangout for those who are serious about their fitness. Boman Irani travels all the way from South Mumbai to use SRK's gym.

And so do a couple of other actors. The nice thing is, even when SRK is travelling around the world, Mannat has instructions to allow the Bollywood Badshah's gym mates to use his fitness machines.

Kareena Kapoor began the New Year with a bang. She has a lot to offer to her fans this year as she is all set to explore five new films with the Khans.

Her upcoming projects comprise of "Ra One" with Shah Rukh Khan, "Bodyguard" with Salman Khan, "Agent Vinod" with beau Saif, an untitled psychological film with Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan and "Short Term Shaadi" opposite chocolate boy Imran Khan.

Kareena told "There has been a conscious call to pick different genres from the films that excite me most."

The actress said further, "Earlier also I have done films like 'Omkara' and 'Chameli' which weren't exactly mainstream."

She said further, "Last year's 'We Are Family' was a difficult role. Now, 2011 would have a mix of different subjects and films as well."

Kareena added "Festive seasons are pretty much working for me. Now on Eid comes 'Bodyguard' and then in Diwali it would be 'Ra.One'."

She said, "I am sure my lucky stint with festivals would continue in 2011 as well."

We all know that superstar Shah Rukh Khan began his career with the TV serial Fauji, but what many aren't aware of is that Vishwajeet Pradhan, who plays Brahma in Star Plus' Maryada Lekin Kab Tak, also got a break in the industry with Fauji where he played Shah Rukh's friend.

The duo later became friends in real life and Vishwajeet also did films like Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani and Chalte Chalte with SRK. "But we never let our friendship get into work. Director Aziz Mirza found me worthy of the characters and offered me the role. But I'll always be glad for knowing a person like Shah Rukh. He is one man who hasn't changed at all," says Vishwajeet.

Talking about his acting career which includes a good 150 films, he says, "Being from a small town my parents wanted me to become an IAS officer but being an actor I lived the life of everyone. I've been a cop, a hardliner politician, a magician, a watchman, a don, a smuggler, an officer all in one life!

I never got a lead role and I make no bones about it. But I've experienced career satisfaction in playing character roles. Like recently, I had a policeman praise me for looking a better cop on screen than they do in reality!"

Usually it's the winners who party hard to celebrate their success, but this do had the nominees for Filmfare Awards 2010 dancing the night away at the JW Marriott.

The event also saw a dazzling fashion show titled 'Giantti presents Manish Malhotra' that had a Cinema Paradiso feel celebrating evolving fashion and the signature styles of the years gone by with over 35 models walking the ramp. The models sashayed down the ramp in beautiful Giantti Jewellery. Gitanjali Lifestyle is the Associate and jewellery partner of Filmfare Awards.

Manish also dressed Aditya Roy Kapoor and Sara Jane Dias — the hosts for the night! After the fashion show it was time for total masti as our actors did not only indulge in posing for cameras, but also whipped out their cellphones to take pics of their good-looking colleagues. Imran Khan, Manoj Bajpayee, Ronit Roy, Rajat Barmecha, Arbaaz Khan, Abhinav Kashyap, Arjan Bajwa, Kunal Khemu and Neil Nitin Mukesh formed the male brigade, while Sameera Reddy and Prachi Desai added much glitz to the already glamourous night.

SRK, Ash at Filmfare Nominations Party

Jan 19, 2011

Has Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan decided to express his love for a certain someone with the letter ' D' engraved on his right arm? Or maybe his act of getting inked is just a promotion stunt for his upcoming biggie Don 2.

The mystery surrounding his ' D' tattoo is still unsolved.

However, it's not news that tattoos have been a rage with B- town celebrities for quite some time now.

Whether it is actors like Deepika Padukone or Saif Ali Khan, who have sketched their bodies with their lovers' initials or name, or be it Akshay Kumar and Arjun Rampal, who have their kid's names stamped on themselves, the tattoo fever has now got on to King Khan.

Though the actor has not confirmed if the tattoo is a permanent one or not, he was spotted at several events, flaunting his new tattoo.

However, we know that it's not a Shah Rukh Khan thing to adorn tattoos and prove something to the world.

The actor, in the past, has uploaded photos of his fully- tattooed body, but they turned out to be temporary tattoos to please his kids.

However, the ongoing speculation about his ' D' tattoo hasn't got a clear confirmation and we're still guessing what led to the superstar getting inked.

Well, the reasons may be many. It can be his new stunt for promoting Don 2 or simply, a pure obsession with his favourite city Dubai.

Whatever the reason, we all can only hope that the Baadshah of Bollywood is not promoting the home furnishing brand D'Decor, which is endorsed by him and wife, Gauri Khan.

RA.ONE to feature some themes by The Prodigy

January 19, 2011 12:40:53 PM IST
Abid, Glamsham Editorial
Send to Friend

Shahrukh Khan's Anubhav Sinha directed RA.ONE has been in the news
from the day of its announcement. The music of the film has especially
been in the limelight for different reasons. First it was due to the
presence of singer Akon and later on it was heard that Hans Zimmer
(THE DARK KNIGHT) would be doing the background score, a news which
was contradicted by the makers when we asked them. They told us that
Vishal and Shekhar are doing the background score.

The latest buzz doing the rounds is that it will now be the
International band The Prodigy (of 'Smack my bitch up' fame)
collaborating with the RA.ONE composers Vishal and Shekhar for the
background score. To get the facts we contacted the people at the helm
of affairs and they told us that The Prodigy would indeed be a part of
RA.ONE and the film will feature some themes by them.

As is known The Prodigy are touring India and hopefully we will soon
be hearing about the above mentioned news, officially.

RA.ONE to feature some themes by The Prodigy

Shahrukh Khan in Don 2 will see him leading a flamboyant lifestyle to make it at par with international cinema. The movie which was shot almost for an entire month in Berlin is full of class action sequences which have never before been seen in any Bollywood churn out.

Film maker Farhan Akhtar's movie Don 2 is all set to make a distinct mark for itself in the international market as much or in fact bigger and better than it is going to be in the national market.

First and foremost the sequel of Don, that is Don 2 will have Shahrukh in the Don's garb trying to capture the entire European market rather than spread his wings in crime only in India, as was the case in Don.

Now in Don2 SRK will be projected as a European crime lord with all amenities of an international kingpin. Thus Don 2 will have this crime lord fooling the police all over the world rather than just in 11 countries. Reports suggest that this movie has all the necessary steps taken to see that no leaf has been left unturned in investing on the lavish lifestyle of the crime lord and as a result the budget strings have crossed boundaries set up by any Bollywood film based on international crime.

Now reports pouring in also suggest that there are plans to put forth an international version for the NRI audiences and also foreign audiences for whom the songs will have to be done away with and the dialogues to be kept short.

Further it is being stated that Don 2 will be made as slick as any international flick and thus Tom Cruise's MI4 can face some stiff competition from this very big Bollywood blockbuster Don 2.
