Shah Rukh turns poet
Share This Post
Bollywood superstar and Twitter newbie Shah Rukh Khan is now showing a poetic streak. In a series of recent tweets on the microblogging site, 'IamSrk' has come out with his own take on poet laureate Rabindranath Tagore's famous vision of India.
"Watched news on tv tonite & thought of the poem by great rabindranth tagore. at risk of being lynched i kind of updated it. here goes," Shah Rukh writes.
"where our lives r without fear, & the media is beyond lies. where water is free. where the states don't want to break into fragments.
where words r not just words. where economy is not hampered by selfish gains. where mere reasons r not given for rise in prices," he subsequently tweets.
Shah Rukh has recently been vocal about his displeasure with the government over the treatment of hockey players. The actor recently joined Twitter where among other things, he also lets his fans know his views on current happenings.
He has also not shied away from taking a stand on political issues. Replying to NDTV Group Editor Barkha Dutt's tweet "Sessions court asks Soren to appear in relation to a murder case. Guess makes no diff to pol parties who have supported him, past or present", this is what Shah Rukh wrote: "dont stress over political parties...for them if 2 wrongs dont make a right..(hey always try a third."
Within days of joining Twitter, King Khan seems to have become as popular in the cyberworld as he is in real life. He has over 71,000 followers and according to some reports, is among the most re-tweeted Twitter users.
"Being extremely shy, I never thought I would be here (on Twitter). But my friend Karan Johar insisted that I should learn to share my life," Shah Rukh had earlier posted on his Twitter page.
"Thanks everyone, this is really sweet...didn't expect such a warm welcome. Love to you all," he added.
The superstar was hardly seen on big screen in 2009 except in Billu, and explaining the reason behind his absence, he wrote: "Injury has kept me away from making more films. Will work my back off to be around more... the shoulder feels strong and so do I."
In February last year, Shah Rukh underwent an arthroscopic surgery for acute pain in his left shoulder at the Breach Candy hospital in south Mumbai.
He is now gearing up for the release of his much-talked about film My Name is Khan which also stars Kajol.
