Shah Rukh Khan dances on top of a table to Milkha's song

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan never fails to surprise. 

At a recent party, the charismatic Khan climbed on top of a table and entertained the guests with his moves. The fact that he was accompanied by veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai just added to the fun.

A Mid-Day report says that SRK, who was a guest at Subhash Ghai's recent bash, was in a joyful mood. He was there at the party for nearly three hours and was charming everyone with his wit and humour. While he was leaving, he spotted actor Chandan Roy Sanyal and Subhash Ghai dancing on the top of a table. And to everyone's delight, King Khan too joined them and danced on top of the table.

The trio grooving to Bhaag Milkha Singh Bhaag track Hawan Karengey was the highlight of the party, and the trio were greeted with applause and cheers.

No honour enough for SRK: Karan Johar

Filmmaker Karan Johar says his friend and colleague Shah Rukh Khan is such a dynamic personality that no matter how many honours he gets, they will never be enough.

Shah Rukh was recently named India's Most Attractive Personality in a survey carried out by the Trust Research Advisory.

"He is dynamic, attractive and he is one of the finest actors this country has seen. No matter how many honours he receives, they are less," the 41-year-old said at the launch of Mandira Bedi's sari store.

Having completed 25 years in the industry, Shah Rukh will celebrate his 48th birthday Nov 2.
"He has reached the pinnacle and I think his love (love of his fans) just continues to grow with every passing year," said the filmmaker.

Karan and Shah Rukh's camaraderie  started with the former's directorial debut "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" in 1998. They later teamed up for "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham", "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" and "My Name Is Khan".

Last year they co-produced "Student of the Year".

When SRK refused to get into a swimming pool

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is known for his confidence, charisma and wit. However, what we don't know is that King Khan is quiet shy When it comes to shooting for movies, SRK is smart, sleek and oozes confidence. However, in real Shah Rukh is rather bashful.

Talking to the media at a recent event, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about his shy nature. He said that he was wearing a pair of shorts and was feeling rather awkward when he was shooting for the song Dard-e-Disco from Om Shanti Om. There was a scene where he had to get into water wearing trunks. However, when he saw that there were many female dancers around, SRK chickened out and requested the production team to ask those dancers to leave. It was only after they left that SRK went inside the pool.

He also recalled an incident when he was flying on a British Airways airline and the air hostess asked him his choice of menu. However, since he could not understand her accent, he had to stay hungry during the entire flight.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan feels that box office records are meant to be broken.

"I don't do films to make records. Every film will make some record...It's stupid to think records will not be broken.

Any good film will do well and it feels fantastic when such film does well. It's important to make better films. The film (Chennai Express) had finest commercial director...great actress Deepika...It feels heartening to see this kind of response," SRK said.

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika-starrer 'Chennai Express', directed by Rohit Shetty and released in August, has earned Rs 220 crore at the box office.

"There are so many platforms to release a film today. It's natural there won't be a golden or a silver jubilee today. There's speed today in terms of theatrical release and enjoyment of a hit film is amazing," he said at an event.

With the trend of sequels, the actor ruled out any "concrete plan" to make any second instalment of 'Chennai Express'.

The film will be premiered on television tomorrow.

The actor said director Rohit Shetty and his co-star Deepika deserved awards for 'Chennai Express'.

"She (Deepika) looks beautiful. She is very hardworking and a good actress. She was amazing in 'Cocktail', 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani'. Deepika has done a good job. She made the film (Chennai Express) lovable and hit through her role as she represented south India," he said.

Shah Rukh Khan will be seen with Deepika in Farah Khan's 'Happy New Year' along side Abhishek Bachchan, Vivan Shah, Sonu Sood and Boman Irani.

"Farah has said dancing in this film will be difficult. We are working on this film and its great fun," he added.

Shah Rukh Khan also rubbished reports of his playing a Gujarati don in Farhan Akhtar's next film.

Feroz Khan in an exlcusive chat with TOI shared on how DID happened to him, the person behind his dancing career and the one and only Shahrukh Khan.

"I didn't know that the production house contacted me for DID as they just asked for my dates and asked whether I am interested in judging a reality show on the channel. Everything was kept under wraps till the time. Only after my look test, I was informed that I will be the next judge on DID. This is how DID happened to me," shared Feroz.

Feroz continued, "As soon as I got to know about judging DID, my first call went to Farah Maa followed by Geeta Maa and both were extremely happy. I would like to give all the credit behind my success to Farah Maa."

As said above that Feroz has choreographed the famous song 'Maa Da Laadla...' and is also assisting Farah Khan over the years, on being asked which actor does he feel is a good student when it comes to dancing, Feroz observed, "All the actors with whom I have worked till date are best. But I would like to take one name, who hasn't changed over time and that's Shahrukh Khan. SRK is someone, whom I knew since long now. I worked with him for the first time duringYes Boss followed by Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and so on and since the time I am observing him and he hasn't changed."

" SRK is someone who has seen me growing too," signs off Feroz.

The Shah Rukh Khan column: Of balance, belief and hashtags

The superstar writes his first column in dna After Hrs o
science and superstition. Tells us how he feels
pressured by the 140-character Twitter limit and new
words like twerking. Read on.
Shah Rukh Khan
Tweet
2
Just a few days back my friends at the dna paper calle
upon me to write a monthly column for their newspaper
A Common perception about actors is that they are
incompetent at everything other than acting (and some
are supposedly incompetent at that too). We aren't
exactly meant to have other interests (well, except of
the controversial kind) but as it happens, I do. I like to
write..
Of late I have spent time on twitter like we all do and o
the internet in general. The combined pressure of 140
alphabet limit and reading new words like
'Twerking' (described aptly by someone on the net as
'masquerading an ass seizure as dancing'), has made
me believe that I could contribute to the all round well
being of the society with my writings also. What
actually convinced me was, that if Hashtags # (a sign
we earlier used for cuss words), can convey emotions,
then my words on paper can also seem like pearls of
wisdom and its about time my smart, genius side
became public. So I decided to grab the axe and hack
my foot myself by entering into 12 such potentially
earth shattering observations of the world around me.
I have thus come up with the "brilliant" and "original"
idea of writing about the 12 Sun Signs. But wait...This
isn't your usual weekly or daily astro prediction column
That is best left to Mr. Bejan Daruwala, Marjorie Orr or
Linda Goodman. I just think it's a good place to start.
12 Columns, 12 Sun Signs, 12 traits I can write about.
So I will pick the traits of these 12 Sun Signs and
choose one that stands out the most then I'll write
around it. I'll write my personal experience, my point of
view or just something I see happening around me.
Confused. Ok, read on.
This month we begin with Libra.
Librans are known for balance and harmony. The word
balance tends to convey stillness, but oddly I look at
balance as something that we need in life to keep
things moving. It's something that we all have to
do...everyone from a tightrope walker to an accountant
requires balance. An accountant has to balance debit
with credit, while a star has to balance a public life wit
a private life. Most people have to balance lies and
truth, or right and wrong. In my years of experience, on
of the most intriguing balances I have had to find is
that between Science and Superstition.
In India we are intrinsically tied to Superstition. It's a
natural nuance of our lives. I am a science student (ove
90 percent in Electronics if I may add). This does not
mean that I can open up a piece of electronic equipmen
and put it back together again. On that front I am like
everybody else in the world: left holding one little
'gizmoic' part of the equipment, scratching my head,
wondering, "where was this supposed to fit?" but more
about this in another column.
Being of a scientific bent of mind, I always take the
scientific course of action. If a part of my body is
disintegrating or broke, I am more than willing to
change it at the hands of an expert, namely a Surgeon.
have had eight such removals and implants done over
the course of 20 years.
Thankfully, so far, no surgeon has come to me post
operation and quizzed, "Eh, SRK I have this little piece
of green spleen left-over from last night's procedure,
can you tell me if it belongs to you or then it could be
bed number 42's."
So I am a believer of science and its many benefits.
Having said that, I would still not go for a bungee jump
or do a skydive on Friday the 13th. Hashtag # Just
Saying.
Some years ago I was faced with the balancing act of
weighing my scientific bent against superstition. One
evening I got to know my spine had a prolapsed disc
and I had to go under the knife. It's a big surgery. It's
considered equivalent to a brain surgery (from which I
might just have benefitted more!) because it involves th
spinal cord.
As it happens, it also proved to be one of the grandest
acts of equanimity I

An era has ended with Sachin Tendulkar's retirement: Shah Rukh Khan

​Hearing about Sachin's retirement made me feel for the first time, how one tends to take things for granted. Like the sun, or water, I had always thought Sachin would never walk away. I feel kind of emptied out. We began our careers more or less together, so there is an affinity I cannot explain, though, of course, he is much younger than me. 

Right now, sitting in Perth, I am getting a cold turkey kind of feeling. I grew up watching Sunil Gavaskar play, and I never thought anyone could possibly ever reach those heights. And then came Sachin. In the early days watching Sachin play, what had struck me was his bohemian simplicity of achieving something big, and I think Sachin never stopped playing freely. 

Though I respect his decision and know that I could never have influenced him, I wish I were in India to persuade him to play for maybe another 10 years? I have had many discussions on cricket with him, and this Almighty of cricket is the most informed expert on the game one can imagine. 

However cliched it sounds, an era has ended with him. There was a thing Sachin had said in an interview a few years ago - 'when people throw stones at you, turn them into milestones' - it is something I'll never forget. 

Sachin's work is his answer to critics 

Sachin replies to his critics on the field, his work is his answer. Because 99.9% who criticise him do not know 0.000% of cricket, as what Sachin has is a gift not just excellence, and one cannot question a gift of God. 

A while ago, my daughter Suhana and I wrote a poem for Sachin, where we had to introduce him on stage, a simple childish one, but he loved it and even asked us for it to keep it. From his great 24-year repertoire of games, one that stays is how he hit Shoaib Akhtar all over the boundary for fours and sixes, when Shoaib was really knocking Sachin out. He played fire with fire. I think it was one of the World Cup matches, though I am not very sure. 

Even today, my IPL team boys tell me, 'However tired Sachin sir is, he comes out and works out'. That kind of dedication is what he is made of. As a child, Sachin may have been born with a gift, but Sachin, the man, backed it with grit and determination. As for what he will do after retirement: I think he has already given the best years of his life to cricket and the sport. 

People don't realise how much he's given - he is an icon, a role model, he has given countless records to match or break. Cricket is already blessed by Sachin. In my opinion, he should now sit back and enjoy. 

A recent memorable moment was with Dilip (Kumar) saab and Sachin. We were shooting for a Filmfare cover with Dilip saab, Amitji and me, and Dilip saab mentioned Sachin's name. I told him the same, and he came to meet Dilip saab. The moment of watching Sachin standing next to Dilip saab was so pure and beautiful, so electrifying, that no camera could have captured that. My favourite shot of Sachin? When he moves away and hits a bouncer for a six from outside the off stump. 

(As told to Nandini Raghavendra) 

As a child, Sachin may have been born with a gift, but Sachin, the man, backed it with grit and determination: Shah Rukh Khan.

Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan says India's developing status makes films unique

​One of Bollywood's most famous actors, Shahrukh Khan, says the appeal of Indian cinema lies in its unique combination of escapism and reality.

One of Bollywood's most famous actors, Shahrukh Khan, says the appeal of Indian cinema lies in its unique combination of escapism and reality.

"King Khan" as he's known has appeared in more than 75 films, from romantic dramas to action thrillers and is one of the world's highest paid actors.

Bollywood, the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai, is one of the world's largest film productions regions producing up to 1,000 films a year.

Shahrukh Khan told Australia Network's #TalkAboutIt India's status as a developing nation is what makes its films different to the rest of the world.

"Somewhere down the line, the fantasies and escapism that we offer in our cinema is a little more real - it's like getting a job or buying a car or settling down with your wife and children," he said.

"They're not very fantastic...we don't yet go and blow up the meteor which is going to hit the earth, we don't have superheroes as yet - our heroes are superheroes.

"It's deep rooted in what society is going through - the escapism is real as yet - very small things which developed nations would take for granted, we take as a thing that you would like to acquire."

Bollywood is mainly known internationally for its 'masala' films. It takes its name from the Indian spice mix - which combine action, comedy, romance and drama.

Video: Parramasala welcomes Shahrukh Khan (ABC News)
Khan says mainstream Indian cinema has to have universal appeal.

"India's so diverse with 1.2 billion people [and] not extremely rich in some places," he said.

"When people go to watch a film, they like to think of it as an event for the whole family for the whole year - so the grandmother goes and the great grandson goes,

"So you've got to make a film which includes an interest for everyone - a little bit of action, a little bit of fights, a little bit of song, a little bit of crying, a little bit of happiness - and a big climax."

Khan has been in Australia as part of Parramatta's arts festival - 'Parramasala' - appearing alongside Bollywood stars including Madhuri Dixit, Rani Mukerji, Jacquelne Fernandez.

He says that family spirit has helped Bollywood cut through to international audiences in Australia, Asia and beyond.

"[Some fans in Germany] said 'Indian films provide us with that button - you put it on...and you feel connected'," he said.

"It kind of takes you back to your roots and culture, and that's why a lot of people in this fast paced world...people want to look back and think of all the good things.

"Why don't we sing and dance a little more in our families?"

Shah Rukh Khan to play Gujarati don in Farhan Akhtar's next ?

​
After the box office success of the 'Don' franchise, actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar will be teaming up with Shah Rukh Khan yet again but for a Rahul Dholakia project, where the superstar is likely to play a Gujarati don.

The film will be produced by Farhan and his partner Ritesh Sidhwani under their home banner Excel Entertainment Pvt Ltd, and is currently under scripting stage.

"SRK is doing the film. We are not sure when it will go on floors exactly but it will be next year. Shah Rukh is excited about the film but we need to work out the schedule as he has prior commitments," Ritesh said.

As for 'Don 3', the makers want to be sure that they have an exciting script in hand.

"With a franchise like 'Don' and the character, its important to get excited by the script. Neither Shah Rukh, nor Farhan or me wants to get into making a film because there is excitement about it. We also want to be happy with the script if that happens then I would love to do it," he added.

On other films in pipeline, Ritesh said that 'Fukrey 2' as well as Abhishek Kapoor's 'Rock On 2' is being scripted.

'Fukrey' released in June this year and was a hit. The comedy directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba had newcomers like Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma, Ali Fazal, Manjot Singh, Richa Chadda, Vishakha Singh, and Priya Anand in lead roles.

"Mrig is thinking about it (sequel). With any sequel you need to be excited about where and how the story is taken ahead. He has got an idea and is working on it. If he's excited about the story then he'll present it to us," Ritesh said.

"It is a great film and people want to see it into a sequel. There are memorable characters in the film which you can take forward," he added.

Shah Rukh Khan: The Kingsize Welcome By New Zealand

AUCKLAND: How often does it happen that the biggest film star of a country gets a grand welcome by the Prime Minister of another country? That's exactly what happened with Shah Rukh Khan who is currently in New Zealand.

The 'Chennai Express' actor is currently on tour for his Temptations Reloaded tour, and has been in Auckland over the past few days, practising hard for the performance.

Last evening, he was given a grand welcome by the Prime Minister of New Zealand, John Key, who also happens to be the Tourism Minister of the country.

The Prime Minister welcomed Shah Rukh Khan with a traditional Maori dance and then presented him with an official New Zealand Black Caps cricket team shirt. As is known, the Cricket World Cup in 2015 will be taking place in Australia and New Zealand.

Shah Rukh Khan also was interested in New Zealand as a filming location for his films ahead and John Key was excited about this development. Recently, films like 'I Hate Luv Storys' and 'Players' have been shot there.

The Temptations Reloaded show kicks off today with Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Rani Mukerji and Jacqueline Fernandez, among others giving company to Shah Rukh Khan.

Bollywood star arrives in Auckland

​

Top Indian celebrity, Shah Rukh Khan, has arrived in Auckland but is avoiding the media before performing in one of the most expensive shows staged at Vector Arena tomorrow night.

Khan, who flew in from Mumbai via Singapore, tweeted early this afternoon: "In Auckland how pretty is this place?! Now onto rehearsals and stuff. Was so many years ago I performed here ... very different and new."

The photograph with the tweet gives away his hotel location in the central city.

His publicist cancelled media engagements today saying he had arrived late on the plane.

Auckland Indian media published requests for fans not to bother the star and Auckland Airport urged people not to go to the airport.

"Due to public safety and airport operational concerns this week's arrival and departure of the celebrities will now take place in

private," airport corporate affairs manager Simon Lambourne said.

"Fans are advised not to come to the airport as they will not be able to see Mr Khan and the other Bollywood celebrities."

Khan's Temptation Reloaded show, with a cast of 110, will play tomorrow night at Vector Arena with the cheapest tickets - way at the back - going for $199. The best seats in the house go for $650.

Its promoters say it's not the most expensive show performed at Vector - Andrea Bocelli owns that honour.

Khan's arrival coincides with a survey of 5500 urban Indians by the world's biggest online matrimonial service, Shaadi.com, which said Khan was the best celeb for the rugged look. His 26.3 per cent approval for his "rugged avatar" beat out Ranbir Kappor on 21.2 per cent and Hrithik Roshan on 11.03 per cent.

The poll showed that 63.3 per cent of the respondents voted in favour of the rugged look while only 36.7 per cent voted for a clean-shaven look. "The study shows that most women today are looking for a partner who is mature, well groomed and who appears masculine," Shaadi's chief operating officer, Gourav Rakshit, said.

Sorry, folks! Shahrukh Khan is coming next year

 

The much anticipated Shah Rukh Khan & Friends: Temptation Reloaded Live in Malaysia 2013 concert, which was scheduled to take place on the 11th Oct remains postponed to a different date.

The concert was initially postponed due to logistic and security issues following US President Barrack Obama's visit on the 10th and 11th October.

"We have postponed and the decision will not be pulled back," said the concert's organising spokesperson, O. Kumaraguru when contacted by Astro AWANI.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today announced that Obama has postponed his visit due to the temporary US government shutdown.

Kumaraguru explained, if Obama had announced his delay earlier, perhaps the concert could have taken place on the fixed date.

The Shah Rukh Khan & Friends concert is now scheduled to take place before April 2014 and the exact date is expected to be announced by the end of this month.

The announcement was made by the organisers, 2Spicy Entertainment Sdn Bhd and Hitman Solutions Sdn Bhd through a statement  on its ticket selling website www.vip.my.

According to the statement, this (postponement) was due to security reasons, which was brought up following the date of the president's visit to Malaysia being close to the date of the concert.

The statement explains that Obama's visit also raised logistic issues, which may affect the concert.

Concert organisers expressed their regret over the postponement

The statement also stated that fans, who had purchased the tickets can get their refund at any Rock Corner outlets starting 12 October and it processed within 10 working days.

For those who wish to hold on to their tickets, organisers have promised an exclusive fan package on the new date of the concert.

Shah Rukh Khan will sport a new look for his next film Happy New Year. 

In his latest outing in a public event, SRK was spotted with a white streak in his hair. When someone asked him about the mystifying white streak, he revealed that it is the look for the Farah Khan directorial.

"I'm shooting for Happy New Year, for which my hair is dyed. I'm still in the process, and hopefully, everyone will like it," he said.
