Shah Rukh Khan had stepped in to help Jackky

Share This Post

Not many may be aware that it was none less than Shah Rukh Khan who recommended newcomer Jackky Bhagnani for acting. It was his referral letter to Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute that allowed the ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’ debutant to enroll himself in the school for honing up his acting skills.

Confirms Vashu Bhagnani, the proud father and producer of ‘Kal Kissne Dekha’ which hit the screens over the Friday gone by, “It was Jackky who informed me that a letter of reference was a must for an admission to Lee Strasberg. I thought of Shah Rukh Khan and he was gracious enough to oblige.”

Even though Shah Rukh Khan hasn’t actively worked with any of the films produced by Vashu Bhagnani (except for being a ’sutradhar’ in ‘Silsiilay’), he didn’t have any hesitation in putting together a letter of reference.

“That’s the beauty of this industry”, gushes Vashu, “People always stand up for you based on your relationship. It could be professional or personal but industry has always been together. There could be some stray elements here or there that may bring in some negativity but by and large, Bollywood is indeed a family. Moreover, Shah Rukh has been above all this.”

Salman's trying to befriend Shah Rukh

It seems Salman Khan doesn’t want to keep grudges against King Khan. That’s the reason he decided to appear on Shah Rukh’s best friend Farah Khan’s chat show which has been produced by SRK’s production house.

After Salman-SRK’s big fight it was even impossible to think that the duo will cross each other’s path. But we hear that Salman has shot for Farah’s chat show along with his mother. It seems Farah’s playing mediator in this. Interestingly, Farah who shares a good rapport with Salman has choreographed a song for Salman’s Main Aur Mrs Khanna .

Things had gone wrong between the two Khans during the filming of SRK’s Chalte Chalte when Aishwarya Rai was replaced as the lead actress by Rani Mukerji. Salman and SRK had hugged each and buried the hatchet at Farah Khan’s wedding. Hope Farah manages to solve the fight between these two Khans once again.

Sony's Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, has found a new fan in King of Entertainment, Shahrukh Khan himself..

It so happened that SRK and Farah Khan started chatting about Sony's Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega at the former's place last Saturday where SRK expressed his love for the show.

According to our source, "SRK was not very discreet about his feelings. He completely bowled over Farah about how he appreciates all the contestants and their rare talents."

Our source further adds, "Shahrukh also spoke about the one act which stood out. He vividly remembered the Goan guy Wendell who amazed everyone with his fire stunts. He remembered him so well because Wendell had entertained Shahrukh and other members of Yashraj fraternity sometime in the past."

Our source further goes on to say, "SRK also mentioned that the show is a favorite of his kids and that they are completely glued to the channel when the show is on."

The show is indeed promoting unique talent all over the country. Every week viewers are encouraged to participate if they think they got what it takes. Then they are invited to perform in front of a live audience and the judges Farah and Annu Malek. The search goes on from Monday to Thursday out of which eight people are selected. All eight bag 10,000 rupees. On Friday two out of these eight are selected as finalists who then go on to compete for the grand prize of rupees 5 lakhs.

Well, we now know what it takes to please SRK and his family..
