Jaadu Hai Nashaa Hai : SRK Casts his Spell

Yes! The one and only Shah Rukh Khan delights the SRGMP contestants by not only meeting them personally but also showing them why he is the Badshah of Bollywood!

Shah Rukh could not make it to the episode when the Om Shanti Om team visited the SaReGaMaPa sets. It was the T20 finals and he was cheering the Indian cricket Team on that day at South Africa. However, the contestants got a chance to meet the Superstar on the 26th of September when he was shooting for an ad film at a studio in Andheri East.

The contestants were upbeat meeting the King Khan,especially Aneek Dhar who said," What can I say? He is such a big man and I never thought I'll get to meet him. He never got to see my performances except for Ek Chatur Naar and was full of praise for that."

So what did King Khan have to say about that performance, we asked and Aneek replied laughing "He was impressed not just with my performance but also my get-up. He commented, "Beta, how 'Mast' you were looking with that moustache and all. You looked just like a hero.And you sang so well too."

Coming from the King Khan himself, to Aneek this was a compliment of a life time. On
Shah Rukh's request he sang the song 'Satrangi Re' which Aneek feels is a matter of honour for him. He now has just one wish, that he gets a chance to do playback singing for Shah Rukh soon.


We also asked Raja about this meeting and found even he too was overwhelmed and happy to meet the Badshah, "I simply loved the man, his style,everything. Best was the way he treated us. He was so friendly as if he knew us for long. He is such a simple and down to earth person. Not for once we felt we were meeting a Star. In our own language I would use just one word for him – 'Milansaar'. That's how we found found him."

Amanat too had the same feelings as the other two, "He is such a simple man. We felt as if we know each other for many years now. The way he was hugging us, holding our hands and wishing us, it was too overwhelming. Never dreamed that I would get to meet him and that too at such close quarters!! He even asked us for refreshments but we refused as for us meeting him was enough in itself. He even signed autographs in our diaries."

We are sure these contestants would go back from this contest with some really nice memories and from their comments it looks like this meeting with King Khan would always be a memorable one for them.

Shah Rukh Khan was conspicuous by his absence at the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007, Om Shanti Om special episode on Monday for he chose to cheer the Indian cricket team in Joannesburg at the T20 final against Pakistan. The episode was shot with director Farah Khan and leading lady Deepika Padukone promoting the film. The mega-finalists Aneek, Amanat and Raja were terribly disappointed when they learnt that they wouldn't be able to meet SRK. But the SRK had a surprise up his sleeve!

On Tuesday, Khan informed Zee that he would like to meet the contestants at Mohan Studio where he was shooting for an ad film.

According to Payaol Patel (Creative head of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa), the entire credit for making it happen goes to Farah Khan. "We were co-ordinating with Farah regarding this. She continuously assured that us that the meeting with SRK will surely take place. It goes without saying that we are extremely thankful to SRK also for keeping his commitment," says Patel.

So what happened between Khan and the contestants? When the contestants were told about the meeting they were really excited. Says a source from the set, "They couldn't believe that they were actually meeting the superstar in person. SRK follows the show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 as much as possible. He told Aneek, Raja and Amanat that he had seen their performances and gave them a few tips as well."

He told Aneek that he especially liked him singing 'Ek chatur nar' (from Padosan) last week. Referring to Raja as the Bikaner ka Raja, Shahrukh performed a dance step from the ‘Chaiyan Chaiyan’ song (Dil Se again) and asked him to sing it in the forthcoming episodes. Finally, he extended a warm welcome to Amanat from Pakistan and told him that his own forefathers also hail from the same country.

Amanat tells us, "I simply couldn't believe that I was seated with Shah Rukh Khan and had a conversation with him for so long. He was very warm."
