Shahrukh Khan Calls Himself the Oldest Employee of Hyundai in India

Economic car company, Hyundai, celebrated its two millionth car in India, brand ambassador Shahrukh Khan named himself the oldest employee of the company! Why? Well Shahrukh Khan has been associated with the company for over a decade, which is as long as the company has been rooted in India. The King Khan also went onto say he's proud to be associated with Hyundai as it helps achieve the aspirations of middle class citizens in India who aspire to own a car. He also mentioned how he always strives to represent the middle class... Sure SRK, if having a mansion worth millions of dollars, a home in Dubai and being one the highest paid actors in India represents the middle class, then we've just been schooled!

“Shahrukh left the party & called up the media” - Salman Khan

Salman Khan bluntness and sarcastic humour can have you blinking at times…Here he continues blaming Shah Rukh for the much publicised spat. Excerpts from the interview…

Can we talk about SRK?
Whatever I had to speak on SRK, I said it then straight out. It’s SRK’s choice to say whatever sweet things he’s saying now four months later.

You wouldn’t like to add anything more?
Why would I want to? I am promoting Yuvvraaj.

Sanjay Dutt wants to play mediator between you and SRK. Are you okay with this?
No. I don’t want anybody playing mediator.

Have you told your family to stay away from Shahrukh and his friends?
No I haven’t told them that. If they want to participate in SRK’s family events they are more than welcome to do that. But don’t you think that it’s a kind of a joke that from one side it’s straight from the heart from one family and from one family it’s straight from the brain? Oh yeh Salman ke behalf pe aa rahe hai so he (Salman) looks like a fool. Yeh sabko bulaya gaya, yeh sab aayenge, they are all here, so Salman must be wrong. Because my family is socialising at SRK’s family events! SRK thinks that the fight was blown up by the media that you both would have sorted it out privately had you been given the choice.

The media blew it up?
As soon as Shahrukh left the party, he started calling up the media! I didn’t speak till one week after the fight because he was trying to put me in the middle of something which is not cool from any angle! That is the time I stood up and started speaking. There is no reason for disrespect. Everybody messes up. I have messed up also not once but so many times, without any malice, any manipulation or agenda. If things go wrong between two buddies we say ‘okay buddy let’s hang out together and sort it out’ but if you are going to mess up and disrespect me then forget it!

Are you a head or heart person?
The right side of my head is my heart. I will always do what is right. I am human man! I am trying to be human. I have lots of flaws but I am taking care of that. But there are some things I don’t have jealousy, incompetence, insecurity and maliciousness. I don’t have a temper either, though I may get angry. And if I am wrong, I have the courage to call up and apologise. Say sorry and I am fine. What I say is what I do. I don’t say something and do something else and think of something totally different.

I bring hope to the middle class: Shah Rukh

Though Shah Rukh Khan has yet to start doing the rounds to publicize his latest Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, the actor was spotted in Mumbai doing his bit as a brand ambassador for a leading car company.

The actor did more than just say the usual practised lines as he went on to donate a car for charity at the event.

He sure holds the key to success. Be it Bollywood or brand endorsements, King Khan, who’s been out of sight for quite a while now showed up to gift a car to an NGO in a bid to celebrate the motor company’s fastest Rs 20 lakh roll out.

Shah Rukh Khan says, “People call me ambassador, face of the brands, that’s from the outside, Hyundai is family to me, we have grown together.”

In these times of recession, SRK isn’t really worried about whether the masses can really afford the products he endorses.

Shah Rukh says, “I truly believe that as an actor ambassador that most of the brands I’m associated to are middle class oriented , I bring hope to the middle class.”

Though we’ve seen the geekier version of SRK, in the Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi fans are still waiting to see the younger and hip version of SRK from the film who, if rumour is to be believed, is a hot shot dancer as well.

“I do dance in the film three to four times , but if you ask me of being a professional dancer , then no, I have a left feet. This pappu can’t dance sala, quips Shah Rukh.

So till the film releases this December, it’s just brand SRK we’ll have to live with.
