"I am Salman Khan not Shah Rukh Khan." - Salman Khan

While shooting for Subhash Ghai's Yuvraj in Austria , Salman Khan was mistaken for Shah Rukh Khan by the locals. Although Salman was far from pleased, he kept his cool but only until Katrina Kaif teased him.

We were shooting for Subhash Ghai's Yuvraj in Austria . People would often look at Sallu and scream out Shah Rukh's name! says an insider. It happened first when we were shooting a scene outdoors and a group of European locals present to watch the shoot, started chanting Shah Rukh..Shah Rukh Shah Rukh as soon as Salman came to the sets. An amused Salman simply smiled back at them, he adds.

Several similar incidents followed. Our source reveals, The next day, at another place in the same city, Salman faced a similar situation when another set of girls went crazy shouting King Khan's name as soon as they saw Salman shooting. They were standing slightly away and one of the unit members had told them the biggest star of Bollywood was shooting there, the source continues.

His girlfriend Katrina even made fun of Sallu once. He was deeply embarrassed when Katrina (who stars opposite him in the film) poked fun at him in good humour. A grumbling Sallu then decided to concentrate on the shoot. But when the crowds didn't stop chanting SRK's name, he finally turned around and said, 'I am Salman Khan not Shah Rukh Khan.' Then he burst out laughing, says the source.

A friend of Salman adds, It wasn't as if he was annoyed or felt jealous about SRK's name being recited instead of his own. He reacted just to let people know the difference between the two Khans. Hill Road Media.

SRK's nightmare!

Shah Rukh Khan is a troubled man. He’s haunted by a recurring nightmare. It begins at a cricket stadium where Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh seem to be frantically waving out at him. Then they start blowing kisses! The Pakistani cricketers frown as the game is held up and BCCI officials rush to evict the Bollywood Baadshah. “It’s not me they are blowing kisses at,” protests SRK and points to Deepika Padukone beside him. “It’s her!” Even as Dhoni and Yuvraj start doing somersaults across the ground, Khan is bundled into a waiting car and driven to the airport.

But Shah Rukh soon finds himself in a midair crisis as the flight to Mumbai wobbles violently and passengers reach for their oxygen masks. The reason is not bad weather but the pilot who’s left the cockpit and hangs around the star for tips on building a six-pack! As the aircraft continues to drop altitude dramatically, the passengers open the emergency exit and request him to jump out!

Khan lands safely on the lawn of his villa in Bandra. But his troubles are far from over. For, even before he could ask Gauri what’s for lunch, she sends him to buy a kilo each of beans and ladyfingers. Thus, Shah Rukh steps out of Mannat with a shopping bag. As he walks the street looking for beans and ladyfingers, there are many fingers pointing at him and people frowning at him for stooping down to walking the streets to promote his film!

A vegetable vendor shrugs his shoulders when Shah Rukh asks him the price of beans. “Why do you need beans?” asks the vendor. “You’re full of beans! I see you on TV, newspaper, advertisements - promoting your film!” Shah Rukh tries to ignore him and asks the price of ladyfingers. “It’s gone up,” says the vendor. “But it’s cheaper than what I paid to see your film at a multiplex! And why do you want to eat ladyfingers? Does that make one the sexiest man in Asia?”

Finally, Shah Rukh Khan is so fed up that he covers his face with his hand and walks back home. But that’s when his cell phone rings. It’s Manoj Kumar! “You’re imitating me again,” screams Mr Bharat. “Wasn’t it enough you made fun of me in your movie? Now you’re doing it in real life!”

That’s when Shah Rukh wakes up and heaves a sigh of relief.

Manoj Kumar might sue SRK

In spite of a public apology, Manoj Kumar says he has been humiliated enough to still consider a legal action against Shah Rukh Khan.

Despite the fact that SRK along with Farah Khan had publicly apologised to Manoj Kumar for having spoofed him in ‘Om Shanti Om’, the veteran actor is still seething with anger.

Kumar was upset with the production team for having shown him in a bad light and not even having been informed about it. However, SRK quickly threw a press conference to apologise and also promised to visit the actor, but according to Manoj Kumar he has not kept his promise.

“Shah Rukh announced that he will be visiting my place. But over the weekend, no one has come home, except some police
personnel, who had stationed themselves outside my house in case he comes.”

Manoj Kumar says he is not demanding a personal apology, “I am not here to beg for anything. If he has committed a crime, he should realise that he has to personally apologise to me. In my 50 years of work, I have never held a press conference or hired a PR person. I have been extremely tolerant, but if someone hits me below the belt, it is unpardonable.” “They have shown in the movie that I have been lathi charged at my premiere. Could Bombay police hit a known star in such a public place? It is like saying that anybody can be Shah Rukh Khan’s imposter and the real SRK can be lathi charged for trying to enter the premiere of his own movie. How can I accept such humiliation?” he says.

“I am not a man of litigation. But if there is no response from that side, I might take some action according to my solicitor’s advice,” Kumar adds.

Shah Rukh Khan was unavailable for comment.

SRK To Inaugurate World AIDS Day In India

Smita Thackeray is all set for her show on December 1 for the World AIDS day. She has an impressive list of performers this year. While Shah Rukh Khan will inaugurate the show, Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan will also be part of the event.

Smita Thackeray says, “Shah Rukh Khan will be inaugurating the show and Saif, Salman, Lara Dutta and Dia Mirza will be performing with other celebrities from the music industry. The show will have a special opening act choreographed by Shiamak Davar. I am sure everyone will love it.”
Speaking about getting various celebrities for the cause, she says, “It feels great and I am thankful to God that I am in a position where they have complete faith in me and my organisation, Mukti Foundation. They all want to do whatever little they can for a good cause. It is a big responsibility.”

Shah Rukh had performed in Smita's first show when his song `Chaiya chaiya' was a huge hit. This time he had a very busy schedule as he had also committed for one of his endorsements deals.

“But he was sweet enough to be a part of the show despite a packed schedule. He has always been there for me since my first show,” adds Smita.
