IPL 2010: Shahrukh Khan dealing with disappointments

After his team KKR’s exit from IPL 3

It was a do-or-die game for Shahrukh Khan’s team Kolkata Knight Riders but they were soundly and emphatically beaten by the dominant opposition from Chennai Super Kings by 9 wickets on Tuesday.

And the man who’s most disappointed is Shahrukh Khan who apologised to the team’s loyal fans for yet another embarrassingly poor season of IPL. Last year, their team was last in the points table; this year it’s second last.

“Outbatted, outbowled, outclassed...out of semis. Never lost so much, so often, so consistently. Apologies to all who supported us,” SRK tweeted after the team’s defeat on Tuesday.

Instead of blaming anyone, SRK took all blame upon himself.

“I completely take the blame for not putting up a good enough show...so much love for KKR & I couldn’t reciprocate,” he wrote.

SRK added that he can’t promise good performances from his team in the future.

“Bye all. I am off now to deal with disappointments in the way I know best. You find your poison. Love u all. Unconditional apologies to all,” he posted.

Our heart goes out to him.

SRK earned his first pay by ushering for Pankaj Udhas concert

He maybe a superstar now but the first ever pay that Shah Rukh Khan received was a mere fifty rupees for ushering a concert of ghazal singer Pankaj Udhas.

The 44-year-old actor used the money to visit 'Taj Mahal', the monument of love.

"Asked so telling. i earned my first salary ushering for a pankaj udhas concert in delhi Rs.50. took a train & saw Taj Mahal with the money (sic)," Shah Rukh wrote on his Twitter page.

Khan made his acting debut in 1988 with television series Fauji, where he played the role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai. His first Bollywood film was Deewana in 1992.

Khan is currently working on his upcoming film Ra.One. where he will play a superhero for the first time in his career.

"Red chillies v/fx & jeff from america. also a few other studios involved to complete work on ra.one. its quite a task for an indian film,(sic)," Khan wrote in a post on the micro-blogging website.

SRK completes 100 days of tweeting

Shah Rukh Khan today completed 100 days of being on the micro blogging site Twitter. The actor, who goes by the handle @iamsrk, tweeted his happiness on the occasion saying, "100 days on twitter. thanks everyone. saw a 3 month old baby yesterday...seems like i am one on the twitter now. its been a good life so far."

Shah Rukh had created a record of sorts when he joined the site, as he got 10,000 followers within 24 hours of joining. He also drew mild criticism when he joined the site before the release of his film My Name Is Khan, with naysayers claiming it was a publicity stunt for the film and he would not continue tweeting after the film released. But with IPL3 following soon after his film's release, Shah Rukh had much to share about his experiences and his hopes for his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders.

Hrithik does a special screening for SRK

Few days back Hrithik openly said that he wants marketing suggestions from Shahrukh and Aamir both. Both Aamir’s 3 Idiots and Shahrukh’s ‘ My name is Khan’ is a hit and marketing plays a major role in the success of any movie.

Recently Hrithik did a special screening of his upcoming movie’ Kites’ for Shahrukh Khan’. Nobody has seen the full movie, but Hrithik was desperate to have Shahrukh’s feedback. Shahrukh has definitely given him some valuable suggestions.

Hrithik-starrer Kites releases on May 21. The film has two versions, one for India and a racier version for West.

But the question still remains, when will Hrithik hold a special screening of Kites for Aamir?

Sajid Khan: No strain in my relationship with Shahrukh

His sister worked with Shahrukh Khan in MAIN HOON NAA and OM SHANTI OM before roping in Akshay Kumar for TEES MAAR KHAN. He himself has worked with Akshay Kumar in HEYY BABYY and now HOUSEFULL. However, Sajid insists that there are no uncomfortable moments for him when it comes to Shah Rukh Khan and he continues to share great relationship with him till date.

"In fact all these talks about Farah choosing to rope in Akshay instead of Shahrukh is nothing but media hype", says Sajid, "Ever since the news came about Akshay doing Farah film, I have had dinner with Shahrukh and gang 4-5 times. There is no strain in our relationship."

While he is close to Akshay Kumar, he had requested Shah Rukh Khan to come on board for a special song and dance number in HEYY BABYY. Is there something bigger and better for King Khan on the anvil?

"In fact my dream project is to get him and Akshay together for a film. They have been seen earlier in DIL TO PAAGAL HAI and HEYY BABYY but never as parallel leads. I am confident one day I would be able to conceive a project where both would be seen together in equal roles", concludes Sajid hopefully.

Well, we are already excited. And waiting!
