What’s got Shah Rukh emotional?

He reveals why the football world cup makes him miss his mom

Shah Rukh Khan lost his parents early in his life, and he’s talked often about how he misses them. Now SRK’s just revealed that for him, the FIFA world cup has a strong connection to his mom.

SRK posted ahead of the tournament which begins on June 11 in South Africe, “I am emotional about fifa. My mom & me use to stay up & watch all nite...cos v had got ourselves a tv & only soccer post Doordarshan.”

Obviously, SRK and his mom were firm football fans. “Used to keep up all nite watching Rudi Voller, Rumeinnege, Socrates & Maradona. Mom & me soccer & tv fans. Never miss matches & always miss mom.”

SRK added that he’d be taking his kids to the World Cup this year. “Taking kids for the matches in S.Africa. I also have an all girls team, which i coach ha ha. Suhana, Ananya, Shania & more..fully kitted.”

He got more emotional about the subject later, “Wish my mom was here, would have taken her with me. Our favourites r Argentina, Brazil, Germany & Spain...England will do well too I think.”

And then SRK posted what he thought of the all-time greats. “Messi unbelieveable. Kaka unstoppable. Ronaldo speed & grace. Torres.unpredictably cool. Rooney is a bull. Will miss Ballack. Xavi surprise.”

“Zico, Platini, Beckenbeuer, Paolo Rossi & later Baggio, Ronaldinho. So graceful and strong. Soccer is beautiful...will play today if it rains.”

And he had a football wish for India at the end. “I am surprised that v were the only developing nation which did not take to football. Hope new generation takes it up now that v r leaders.”

Amitabh Bachchan Removes Shahrukh Khan from Twitter!

Oh-oh! Do we smell trouble in Twitterland? After following each other dutifully and tweeting friendly messages back and forth, Amitabh Bachchan suddenly stopped following his friend and prominent B-town colleague Shahrukh Khan! What went wrong? Did SRK say something to upset Big B? Did King Khan get a role in a movie that Bachchan Senior was hoping to bag? No, guess again!

The only thing that went wrong when Big B stopped following SRK out of the blue was his technical skills! Apparently the B-town big shot never meant to remove King Khan from his Twitter feed, but accidently hit the delete button! Oops!

"Pressed wrong button ... Shah Rukh gone off my 'following' list ... how do I get him back ...?" Big B tweeted in despair. But with 156,087 followers and fans to help him out, it didn't take long before all online ties between the two actors were restored and everything was back to normal! Phew!

Bollywood was all abuzz as Big B signed on and actors from Ritesh Deshmukh to Sophie Choudry immediately welcomed the veteran B-town star to the Twitter community. "Ladies and gentlemen. HE IS HERE!!! BigB in da house!!!! @srbachchan welcome Pa. Show him the love tweeps!!" Abhishek Bachchan tweeted as soon as his dad joined.

"A warm welcome to my GENIUS @srbachchan - Woh jahan khade hote hain- line wahin se shuru hoti hai," said Amitabh's Aladin co-star Ritesh. "R u ready to welcome the Shahenshah?!! The legend,the most charasmatic man in the world,the God of movies is here! Pls welcome @srbachchan," tweeted Sophie Choudry.

Well now Big B can continue to follow Karan Johar, Shammi Kapoor, Suhel Seth, his son Abhishek and Shahrukh Khan in peace. Let's hope that he doesn't delete any of the other six people he follows, it can easily cause diplomatic problems!
