Shah Rukh Khan on why he’s so proud of ‘My Name is Khan’?

Now that we are almost into 2010, the biggest and much-anticipated film to hit theatres is SRK- Kajol starrer ‘My Name is Khan’. And Shahrukh who’s known for his excellent marketing strategies, is letting the media eat out of his hands.

Yes, after a forgetful 2009 that brought him agony (both physical and financial) owing to his shoulder-injury and the sinking of his production ‘Billu’, the ‘King Khan’ is roaring again. With his biggie due on 12th February (the week of Valentine), he’s all agog with excitement and his renewed zeal and energy is contagious. Chirping about the upcoming movie, he quips, “Yes, it is set in the aftermath of 9/11 and it’s heroic without the fighting and screaming, but MNIK is a heartening and funny film. I am excited about it. But this one I’m very proud of. Mainly because, I’ve co-produced it with Karan; also because Kajol and I are acting together after 8 years.”

So, all iz well in SRK paradise! Looks like, his shoulder-injury has only toughened him. The confidence that’s oozing out of his voice makes us feel that the trio of Shahrukh-Kajol-Karan are all set to re-define cinema once again after their glorious escapades of ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ and ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam’.

Shah Rukh Khan trumps Salman

The speculations are over and it’s official now. Shah Rukh Khan and not Salman Khan is kicking off the big reality show on Sony TV titled Lift Kara De. And the grapevine is gossiping that it is the closeness that SRK shares with the host of the show Karan Johar and Yash Raj Films run by Yash and Aditya Chopra that might have done it for him.

“SRK is close to both Karan and Yash Raj and Salman is extremely close to the channel for which he hosts a TRP grabbing show. It was a difficult decision to choose who will kick-start the show but we all know how lucky and loyal SRK has been to YRF and he is best friends with KJo. That might have done it for him as he has definitely scored one-up on Salman by being the first star to be showcased,” says an insider.

The highly placed informer adds: “Yash Chopra had personally come on the sets when SRK was shooting. Salman’s episode will now come later.”

Danish Khan of Sony says: “There is nothing to read between the lines. The choice of star has happened because of the shooting schedule.”

Shahrukh Khan admits he dislikes his face and physique!

The ‘King’ of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan, who’s busy with promotions of his upcoming movie ‘My Name is Khan’, in a recent interview, spoke about himself and the man again came up with strange and bizarre but intellectual words.

“I’m shy of myself on screen . I’m not fond of my face or physique. That’s why I am an actor so that I can play someone else,” he remarks.

“I’m not antisocial. I’m a quiet person, strangely reclusive. I’m not as confident as you think I am. I am thankful to Allah to be not so gifted and have all this. I’m great enough to be humble; I’m very happy when people say ‘SRK’s the best’. I’m happy by what I’ve done, but humble enough to know it’s not because of me. Yet put me on stage………and I’ll comfortably entertain you for an hour. As long as I’m an entertainer, I’ve no problems. It’s when I’m Shahrukh that the problems arise. I’m a fun guy; yet my kids enjoy their mother’s company more,” he signs off.

Oooh! When this guy starts talking, he completely stumps you……. can speak really well.
