On Monday afternoon Shah Rukh Khan met winners of the Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi-In.com Meet and Greet contest. The actor spent some time with the winning couple. Contestants were asked to post their best pictures with a write up on their love story.

SRK gets a luxurious vanity van

While many B-Town stars have been proud owners of deluxe vanity vans for years, Shahrukh Khan has made do with rented vans and make-up rooms. But last week the actor acquired a hi-end hugely spacious vanity van designed by ace car designer Dilip Chabria.

Says a source who has seen the van, "It's based on the longest Volvo Chassis in the world and has multiple axles. Shahrukh is the first actor in B-Town to own a vehicle with two sets of axles in the rear." The Van is steel grey in colour and SRK took active interest in the design. The interior colours are in chrome, steel, white, and black stark - simple stark colours.

SRK's van is like a palace on wheels. According to a source, "Its more like space ship. It's not just technologically well equipped with computers etc but is aesthetically futuristic in design. Shahrukh knew exactly what he wanted right down to where a plug point is. The actor had several meetings with Dilip and his son before finalizing on the design."

The source further adds, "Apart from the usual drawing room and resting rooms, this van has a room which no star in B-Town has a workout room complete with all kind of latest gym equipments. The van has many unique tricks like when it's stationary it becomes wider to increase floor space and some of the rooms expand.

The van took three months to design. Shahrukh says, "It's just a van. That's all." Though Dilip Chabria is reluctant to give details about the van he says, "I am highly impressed and surprised at Shahrukh's level of knowledge and involvement at the design stage. Designing the van was our most difficult, ambitious and fastest project that we have ever done in the last 16 years."

SRK trophy le jayenge

This is one trophy that would surely take Shah Rukh Khan on a nostalgia trip. The actor will be presented with a special trophy in a few weeks when his biggest blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) completes an all-time record of running for 750 continuous weeks at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir. The theatre screens the movie every morning seven days a week.

A source says, "In March, DDLJ set a record of running for 700 weeks. The theatre wants to organise a lavish event to honour Shah Rukh Khan but for that he will have to wait till the movie marches into its 750th week. The theatre authorities also want Yash Chopra to be present as the chief guest for this event as he was the producer of the film."

Shah Rukh Khan was delighted to hear this news and said, "I will definitely be there to receive this honour."

DDLJ, also starring Kajol, premiered on October 19, 1995 and released nationwide a day later. It went on to earn over Rs 58 crore in India and Rs 17.5 crore worldwide in that year to become the biggest grossing film. It became the biggest blockbuster of Bollywood, a record which was broken by Ghajini recently.

Shah Rukh Khan turns silent after Knightmare

Shah Rukh Khan came, Shah Rukh Khan saw, but Shah Rukh Khan didn't speak.

It's usually hard to keep Shah Rukh Khan mum but the Kolkata Knight Riders' disappointing performance at the ongoing IPL series and the controversy surrounding Sourav Ganguly's captaincy kept King Khan away from interacting with the media at an event in Mumbai on Monday evening.

Also adding to SRK's vows was the rather lukewarm response at the Box Office to his last release Billu Barber, but Shah Rukh still managed to wear a smile and meet his fans and the contest winners of an online Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi contest.
