Shahrukh Khan kissed by a man at Rome Film Festival

It was a grand, glittering celebration of Bollywood with dancers dressed in Indian traditional dresses dancing at the venue of the Rome Film Festival. Yes, the razzmatazz of Bollywood shone through as Shahrukh Khan was welcomed for the screening of his film My Name is Khan.

SRK looked quite dapperly in black tuxedo when he walked the red carpet and dancers showered flower petals on him. Suddenly a guy dressed in sherwani went up to him and not only hugged the star but also kissed him on the cheeks. Shahrukh, who is joined by his entire family in Rome, tweets about his overwhelming experience at the film festival: “Had a wonderful reception at the Rome red carpet for KHAN. Fantastic to feel Roman love with my son in tow...now to Trevi fountain.”

But the film’s director Karan Johar and its female lead Kajol missed the glitz of the film festival. Explaining Karan’s absence, SRK tweets, “Poor Karan couldn’t make it. down with malaria...he would have really felt proud about KHAN. missing having him here...he would love Rome.”
