Weight-loss was a joke: Shahrukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri have been in Delhi for the last two days. Yesterday, he made an appearance in Gurgaon.

But what was he doing on Day 1 of his visit? "He landed early morning on Saturday, met his father-in-law, who recently had angioplasty, and then went to the hospital to get a check up. Shah Rukh went to Escorts because Dr Seth (who treated Mr Chhiba, his father-in-law) suggested both he and Gauri also get a check up," informs a source.

Was it because SRK has lost a lot of weight, or because Gauri was also not so fit some weeks ago? "No, it was just a normal check up that the doctor recommended. The reports are fine.

He's fit, and so is Gauri," adds our source. What else did he do the whole day? "He didn't go anywhere. He was at Gauri's uncle's home, resting and chatting with family members." SRK also had dinner with a small group of friends. On Saturday night, Shah Rukh wrote online, "In delhi...was whole day at escorts doing yearly tests...seems i passed with flying colours..A** and a smiley the marks my kids get."

But what was it about Khan's engagement ring slipping off his finger – earlier this month, he'd written: "God need to feed my face more than i have been. today nearly slipped and fell through my wedding ring.. ha ha" (sic).

Many thought he has some serious weight-loss problem. "It was a joke. Khan, in a telephonic conversation with Amitabh Bachchan, had joked, 'I have lost so much weight ki main toh apni engagement ring ke andar se nikal sakta hoon,'" clears the source.

So, what's SRK's equation with the Big B 'really' like – there were rumours of them not getting along but now they seem to be discussing health issues over the phone... "See, whatever the situation may be, they do talk for sure. Plus, Shah Rukh is very particular about respecting elders, so he's very polite. But mostly, the conversations are over the phone, but yes, they do keep tal king," states the source.
