Shah Rukh Khan is Big in Japan

Tokyo: Young Japanese girls learning how to tie the sari, trying on various shades of bindis and dyeing their hands with henna, these are just some of the scenes from the mega Indo-Japan cultural show being held here.

Also seen is the charm of the quintessential Indian curry meal and yoga-- touted as the major de-stresser of modern times at the two-day cultural extravaganza, Namaste India, which began today as part of efforts to strengthen ties between the people of the two countries.

As yoga guru Baba Ramdev espouses the cause of pranayam at the Yogiki Park here, young Japanese boys, sporting Shahrukh Khan T-shirts listen in rapt attention.

That Khan is the most popular Indian icon here, can be judged by rampant sale of music and video CDs of his movies and the perfumes named after him.
