Shahrukh Khan to captain Bollywood cricket team at IIFA 2010

Cricket and Bollywood are soon going to be shaking hands again, this time for another cause but only with a sense of festivity. The venue being Sri Lanka, the twenty 20 charity match between Bollywood and the Sri Lankan cricketers will be played at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo on June 4. Organised by IIFA, this one would surely get the crowds soaring in.

To add to the delight, IIFA's Bollywood stars' cricket team is said to be captained by none other than Shahrukh Khan himself, while Kumar Sangakkara will captain the Sri Lankan cricket team. The festivity would be added by the local and Indian singers who would be performing there and the fans would have an opportunity the rub shoulders with their favourite stars. Add to that, the fact that the match isn't extremely serious, the general rules remain except that the Bollywood team gets to have eleven players in a rotating manner so that every player gets a chance to perform.

Sri Lanka Cricket along with the Sri Lanka Tourism are pleased to organise this match as the proceeds of this event go to Habitat and UNICEF.

Shah Rukh Khan endorses Pepsodent

After endorsing brands like Hyundai Santro, Linc pens, Navratna Oil and Tag Heuer, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will now endorse Apart from Pepsodent toothpaste.

In the ad campaign titled “Papa & Pappu (P&P)”, Shah Rukh will be seen playing a doting father, while child artist Keval will play his son Pappu.

“Shah Rukh Khan is the best choice for 'Papa' in the campaign as the super successful actor also practices what he preaches. He is the perfect role model of a father who finds ways to spend time with his own children away from his active schedule and stardom,” Srinandan Sundaram, Category Head - Oral Care, Hindustan Unilever Limited said in a statement.

Shah Rukh and his wife Gauri have two children - son Aryan and daughter Suhana.

Khans' unconditional love for dogs

Our Khans in tinsel town have a special inclination towards dogs and their love for the animal knows no bounds. Their love can be measured from the kind of exclusive attention they give like Shahrukh Khan was heard brooding over his dog’s health and Salman brought a new dog in the memory of his old close pet that died.

Shahrukh takes some space fro his dog on Twitter and tweets, “My beautiful black dog hulk is unwell. Kids and I cried for hours at night. I believe he looks after all of us. Hope he gets well.”

Salman too was very fond of his dog some years ago that died an untimely death and now has brought a new dog in the loving memory of the old one.
