Runaway Pak teen is upset with Shah Rukh

Nasir is disappointed the Bollywood actor did not save him imprisonment

ISLAMABAD: Nasir Sultan, the 15-year-old runaway Pakistani teenager, is upset that his reel-life hero Shah Rukh Khan did not come to his rescue. While his hopes of getting into Bollywood have gone for a toss, Nasir says he has returned home with an unforgettable lesson — never chase fantasies.

Speaking to mediapersons at his home in Dir district of the NWFP, Nasir said Main Hoon Na was his favourite Shah Rukh Khan film. But unlike in the film, his hero did not come to his rescue, which is why he is disappointed.

Asked if he ever wants to go to India if granted a visa and he retorted: “Never. I will not go to India even if I was offered a chance to study there.”

Acknowledging his blunder (of crossing the border) Nasir fondly remembered the staff of the juvenile home and the investigating officers, who he said were “kind and co-operative”.

Barring two slaps that he got on his face for crossing the border, Nasir said he was not subjected to any torture here. “I was given gifts and a warm see-off from India.

Everyone in the juvenile home felicitated me on my release but another child, Sunil, who hails from Pakistani Punjab, was crying,” he said.

Grateful to Indian authorities for freeing him from captivity, Nasir resolved never to illegally cross the border again.

“I have learnt a lot from the blunder I committed. Now, I have decided to focus on my education,” he said.

In August, Nasir set out for school one morning, but later ditched his schoolbag by the roadside and illegally crossed into India.

The three-month detention in another country has brought about drastic changes in his thinking and approach. His craze for Bollywood has changed into a strong desire for education. “I want to resume my education to succeed in life,” he said.

“I would request all parents to stop their children from wasting time watching movies and build castles in the air. I was lucky to be back after three months. Others have been languishing in the jail for years,” he added.

OSO controversy: Court summons SRK, Farah

A metropolitan magistrate on Tuesday issued notices to Shah Rukh Khan, wife Gauri and director Farah Khan, asking them to remain present in the court on February 22 in connection with an application moved by veteran actor Manoj Kumar.

Manoj Kumar had filed an application against the three regarding a scene in the movie 'Om Shanti Om' which he felt ridiculed him. The Andheri metropolitan magistrate had last month issued summons to the three, asking them to remain present in the court on Tuesday.

However, the three failed to appear following which the magistrate issued notices to them asking them to be present on February 22, advocate Ashok Saraogi, appearing for Manoj Kumar, told PTI.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi song not lifted

From six-pack abs in that Shah Rukh Khan parades in his Om Shanti Om song 'darde-disco' to a mustache and ill fitting clothes getup in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, SRK takes up a curious journey in acting.

The song in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is sure to make people wonder as to what is going on in this film. The music of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is already on the stands.

"This is about an ordinary person's conversation with himself. SRK plays a character who works in the electricity department. He doesn't have the words or gestures to be able to express himself in a manner which is flashy or which would attract attention. Here, he finds himself very badly desiring another person. Now, he is not used to romancing the girls and is not the kind of person who spends a lot of time with the opposite sex. He's not a poet," said Jaideep Sahni, the lyricist of the song in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

"It was supposed to be a very easy and breezy kind of a song. That was basically the brief. The director had already given us the line and it read "haule haule". That was part of the script. It means that the character is telling himself, don't worry as she will fall in love with you," said Salim, the music director of the film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

On one hand one has this breezy number but on the other hand is the one where King Khan seems to have two left feet. That was the brief from the filmmaker not only for SRK but also for the music directors.

"Adi's brief was very, very clear. I want a clutter breaking song and a nursery rhyme, is what the director said. The song should have a nursery rhyme quality. A simple one almost like a master teaching a student. It should have that quality. Something like the rhyme "Put your left leg in, put your left leg out" and that got us thinking in a completely different zone. That's what you hear right now. 'Dance pe chance' is that whole thought going down into those four and a half minutes. So like that concept of 'Put your left leg in put your left leg' out in a very simple Punjabi way and the Punjabi elements in which SRK suddenly says 'To hell with you and I'm on a Punjabi trip' as she is teaching him how to dance," said Suleiman the music director.

The music director duo don't seem to care too much about the rumour of their song being inspired from Adnan Sami's hit track 'Kabhi nahi'.

"It normally happens when a song becomes really popular. People cannot believe that it's such a good song, it must have been copied from somewhere. Even if there is a one per cent similarity, people say its copied. Obviously, they cannot believe that a great song can be done by itself. I feel its a very simple song without an ounce of pretension," said the music director duo of Salim-Suleiman.

It all depends on whether Adnan Sami buys into that or not.
