Leaving on a jet plane

If you're Shah Rukh Khan and you miss your flight, there's always Mukesh Ambani to offer you his private jet.

The world's 14th richest man, Mukesh Ambani's high-powered gathering at the Reliance petro township in Jamnagar had around 250 high-profile corporate personalities like Infosys' Nandan Nilekani, ICICI's K V Kamanth, Bharati Group's Sunil Mittal, M & M's Anand Mahindra, Adi Godrej and Vikram S Mehta and also some Bollywood stars. Among others was Shah Rukh Khan.

SRK reached the Jamnagar bash by 5 pm on Friday, and he left the venue by midnight. He had to reach Mumbai, pick up Gauri, Aryan and Suhana and catch a flight to Austria. But SRK missed his flight to Austria and when Mukesh Ambani got to know of this, he offered his brand new Boeing Business Jet 2 to SRK and family to fly to Austria on a holiday.

Our source, who was present at the Jamnagar meet, says, “When Mukesh Ambani learnt that SRK who had left Jamnagar but missed his flight in Mumbai, he promptly offered Khan his new private jet so that they could carry on with their journey as per schedule. SRK reached Mumbai with Juhi Chawla and her husband, Jay Mehta. Gauri, Aryan and Suhana joined SRK and they left for Austria on Ambani's plane around 3:30 am on Saturday. Boeing Business Jet 2 was at SRK's service.”

Apparently, Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Karan Johar apart from Vinod Khanna and son Rahul Khanna were also part of the conclave along with Juhi Chawla and her husband, industrialist Jay Mehta.
