Shah Rukh watch in My Name Is Khan from museum, ring from Gauri!!

Shah Rukh Khan, the badshah of bollywood who could have afforded any expensive watch and ring for his character Rizwan Khan in Karan Johar’s upcoming mega-budget flick ‘My Name Is Khan’ opposite Kajol, has worn the ring given by wife Gauri on his wedding.

Sources say that Shah Rukh Khan considers the ring to be very lucky for him as it is associated with his better half Gauri, who has managed his professional life and children so well for such a long period. King Khan considers Gauri as his most auspicious omen, and hence when Karan Johar asked him to model the character of Rizwan Khan on his own, he unhesitatingly preferred Gauri’s ring than any other designer ring in the film.

Even the watch that Rizwan Khan wears in the film is a vintage watch of 1920s taken from the museum of the company that Shah Rukh Khan endorses. King Khan was ethical enough not to wear any other brand in the film and asked for a 1920’s piece from them, and they were gracious enough to supply it for the shooting purposes.

Why Shah Rukh Khan had to wear such an old watch has a story behind it. In fact, Shah Rukh Khan’s character Rizwan Khan receives this watch from his teacher, who in turn had got it as a parting gift from his father. The teacher had given the watch to Rizwan as a mark of affection and love. Hence, to impart a sense of realism, the watch should also belong to that old era.

The film has Shah Rukh Khan playing the character of a person who can not connect easily with others due to his peculiar condition of Asperger’s disease. Due to this problem, Rizwan Khan is detained at an American airport as the security agencies took the inability to be ‘suspicious behavior’ in the wake of 9/11 New York bombing.

The film has been set in the US and has Kajol playing a single mother. The gorgeous lady falls for Shah Rukh Khan’s innocent charms and fights for his rights with the police, security agencies and the society.

The film is being distributed by Fox Star all over the world, which has acquired its rights for a whopping Rs 100 crore. The movie is due for a world wide release on Valentine Day, 12th February.
