I’ll join politics when I’m 127: Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, at a recent media event here revealed that he doesn’t like it when Aamir tries to take a dig on him. The actor was at his witty best when he took digs at journalists during a TAG Heuer press conference in the capital.

Taking the stage, Shah Rukh joked that he would have loved to take off his shirt then and there, but unfortunately there’s nothing written on his chest like Aamir’s. (SRK said hinting at Aamir’s character in ‘Ghajini’).

When asked as to why he chooses to pick on Aamir frequently at such events, Shah Rukh said, “I don’t pick on Aamir. Media just tries to make an issue out of it. It’s a joke. But sometimes Aamir does so and I don’t like it.”

“But I think I should not talk about this any further. I’d like to personally have a word with Aamir on these things,” he added.

When asked about his shoulder injury, Shah Rukh told a reporter, “I just can’t hug you hard enough.” The actor further said, “My treatment has been delayed because of a few important commitments, one being the TAG Heuer event today, and another is ‘Billu Barber’. Once I’m done with my commitments to the film, I’ll get myself admitted to a hospital for the surgery.”

Well, not completely ruling out his chances of joining politics, (if I may say), Shah Rukh said once again, taking a dig at the journos, “I might join politics at the age of 127, when probably you guys are old and I am still young.”

Shah Rukh, who is supposedly doing a cameo in the upcoming flick ‘Billu Barber’, has been seen promoting the film with a lot of dedication. Justifying his presence in the three popular dance numbers from the film, with Kareena, Deepika and Priyanka individually, Shah Rukh said, “It is a film where a film-star comes out of a small town, and all the songs are a part of the story. Undoubtedly, Irrfan and Lara are the two most important aspects of the film and the film is beautiful because of them. But I’m also playing an important part. So please don’t mind me promoting my film.”

Well, apart from the King Khan, the other champion who could be spotted at the event, was none other than the most charming king of the boxing rink ever - Vijender Singh and India’s A1 GP racer, Karun Chandok. The guys looked really handsome as they flaunted their classy TAG Heuer watches at the event. Shah Rukh, the brand ambassador of TAG Heuer, was here for the launch of a new collection by the Swiss watchmaker.

“We need to salute people like Vijender and Karun, who are real heroes, unlike us. And specially Vijender, who has achieved so much after having come from such a small town,” Shah Rukh said.
