SRK charges 1.5 crore for 3 hours

Now, here's another incident where SRK's tried to outsmart Big B. He has apparently charged 50 lakh for one hour of performance at the Zee Carnival in England. He attended three shows of the Carnival, where he not only had to shake a leg but also meet and greet his fans, sign autographs and shoot pictures with them. My close birdie out there informs me, "Yes, it's true. SRK was in England on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to attend shows for the Zee Carnival. He charged 1.5 crore for three shows of one hour each. In the shows, you had to buy a pass and you got an opportunity to meet King Khan face-to-face. The fans were also allowed to get autographs and photographs with SRK." Well, methinks if the organisers were earning a lot of moolah out of selling the passes for a bomb, why would our ol' SRK charge a penny less than half a crore?

Shah Rukh Khan's dreamz unlimited

Actor Shah Rukh Khan wants to build an underground parking lot and a swimming pool behind his Bandra residence. He has applied to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) seeking permission to construct a 20,000-sq-ft underground parking lot and a swimming pool measuring only slightly less, on the ground floor of the six-storey building he has built behind his sea-facing heritage bungalow Mannat at Bandra (West).

Civic officials said the proposal has been forwarded to the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority.

As Khan’s bungalow and building fall under the Coastal Regulation Zone — an ecologically sensitive area near the sea — permission from the Authority is needed to undertake any construction there.

The plan, said civic sources, is related to changes in Khan’s building, which houses the actor’s extra living room, guest room, gym and some offices.

Ashok Shintre, chief engineer (Development Plan, BMC), said: “The plan came to us through Khan’s architect and we have sent it for a No-Objection Certificate to the state coastal zone authority as the changes to be made are for a plot under 2 hectares in area (approximately 2 lakh sq ft). If it were more than that, we would have sent it to the Central Authority,” Shintre said.

Confirming that the coastal zone authority has received the proposal from the civic body, an official said no decision had been taken.

“It will be brought before the Authority in one of its meetings, when such proposals are tabled for clearance,” he added, refusing to divulge when the proposal would be discussed.

Chairman of the Authority Shyamlal Goyal was not available for comment.

Khan’s building is already entangled in a legal suit following a petition filed by non-governmental organisation Bhrashtachar Nirmulan Sanghatana last year, alleging that it encroached on the proposed road in the city development plan and the balconies jutted out of the plot boundary.
