Shahrukh-Salman spat: SRK admits his fault, but won’t say sorry

Shahrukh Khan was in a mood to bare his heart while appearing on buddy Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan. SRK has been in confession mood lately. After confessing that he’s been depressed for a good part of this year, he’s spoken out frankly about his friends that have been falling out, namely Salman Khan and Farah Khan.

On Karan Johar’s show KWK, when SRK was asked about Farah and Salman, he is reported to have said: “I don't know how to make friends and if I do, I don't know how to keep them....If Salman and Farah are upset with me it's 100 per cent my fault but I can't pick up the phone and say sorry.... I can't apologise because of ego but because I can't just get myself to ask people to come back to me... I had asked my parents to come back and they didn't...”

In fact, SRK’s soul-baring so touched the host Karan Johar that he was moved to tears.

The SRK episode will be aired on January 2.

I never thought I will work without Shahrukh: Farah Khan

Farah Khan is mum on what led to a fall out between her and best friend Shahrukh Khan but the director says she never thought of working without the actor, who starred in two of her films.

The choreographer-turned-director is all set to roll out her new film 'Tees Maar Khan' this Christmas, which stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. It is for the first time that Farah is working with a lead actor other than Shahrukh.

The director, who had once declared that she would never work with any actor other than Shahrukh, today feels that it is best not to make such announcements in the industry. "I did say things in that regard and in all honesty, I meant them genuinely as well. However, things changed, circumstances changed and a lot of other things happened that made me go for Akshay," said Farah.

"I never thought that there would be a day when I won't be working with Shah Rukh. I was very earnest about that."

Shahrukh Khan ignores Farah Khan

Shahrukh Khan recently paid visit to his new friend in Bollywood on the sets of Master Chef, Akshay Kumar in Film city. SRK however, blatantly ignored Farah Khan by not meeting her on the sets of Tees Maar Khan put up close to Master Chef set it.

Shahrukh was delighted to have a look over the set which he totally adored. He also went ahead to discuss about a producing a movie along with Akshay where both former and latter don the lead roles. In the midst of all this, he intentionally chose not to see his once a close friend Farah.

Nevertheless, Salman Khan is heard to have met Farah at the same time on the sets. Interestingly, Salman would be doing a cameo in one of the songs featured on Akshay and Katrina.

We wonder how far was the SRK genuine when he wished Farah good luck for Tees Maar Khan or was it Akki’s sake considering he didn’t bother to show up at Farah’s sets located in the vicinity. Only future will unfold the mystery.

Farah and I are friends: Shahrukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan has cleared the air over a reported rift with choreographer-director Farah Khan, saying that just because he wasn't on her next project didn't mean that they weren't friends.

He wished her luck for her next film Tees Maar Khan, for which she signed on Akshay Kumar instead of Shah Rukh.

"My friendship with all is as it was before, love them the same way. Many times if we are not working with each other doesn't mean that I hate her or end of friendship. I don't take my wife's decision, how could I take others. I want to see everyone doing well.

"When I am shooting with someone, I am more in touch with him. This time I am not in touch with Farah but wish her all the success and hope this film (Tees Maar Khan) becomes a bigger hit than Om Shanti Om, which was her last film. I just hope she become even a bigger producer. Yes, she is a friend of mine. I am not doing a film with her, which doesn't mean I don't love her," said Shah Rukh.

Shah Rukh played the lead role in Farah's last film Om Shanti Om.

I do not think negative of my friends, says Shahrukh Khan

“If I am not doing any film with my friends does not mean we are no longer friends. I do not think negative of my friends and wish Tees Maar Khan the best. I hope that the film turns out to be a bigger hit than Om Shanti Om,” SRK said.

Shahrukh Khan eager to watch Salman’s 'Dabangg'

They may not be on talking terms and may even see through each other when face to face, but Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan don’t seem to harbour any grudge against each other.

So we were a bit surprised but not shocked when Shahrukh told reporters in Mumbai that he was looking forward to watch Salman’s upcoming film Dabangg, that too with his kids Aryan and Suhana.

“I saw Lafangey Parindey last week and will watch Dabangg at home after my children's exams are over,” he said.

Shahrukh also laughed off the rumours of his fallout with good friend and director Farah Khan who’s directing her next film Tees Maar Khan with Akshay Kumar and not with him.

“If I am not doing any film with my friends does not mean we are no longer friends. I do not think negative of my friends and wish Tees Maar Khan the best. I hope that the film turns out to be a bigger hit than Om Shanti Om,” SRK said.

The superstar has lately been busy shooting his sci-fi extravaganza Ra.One. Next he will begin shooting for Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2.

Om Shanti Om's end credits inspire American director

Josh Radner, the American television actor of How I Met Your Mother has turned director with his debut film Happythankyoumoreplease. And for his end credits, he has taken inspiration from Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om.

Though Josh has not seen the entire film, he says he was much impressed with the idea of the cast and crew being introduced against the background of a movie premiere, with each of them getting down from a vehicle. He believes it is similar to the tradition of theatre, where the cast return in the end of a play to take curtain calls. Thanks to our own OSO, Josh decided to incorporate this in his film too.

Meanwhile, Josh regrets he was unable to watch Peepli Live, which was screened along with his film at the Sundance Film Festival recently.

I will remain Shah Rukh's friend till I die: Farah Khan

Farah Khan had surprised many by casting Akshay Kumar in 'Tees Maar Khan' instead of favourite Shah Rukh Khan but the director says contrary to rumours her friendship with King Khan continues to be strong.

"So many things have been written since Akshay's name was announced. People do enjoy such things. I guess it is more entertaining. But there is nothing wrong with our friendship.

I will remain Shah Rukh's friend till I die and I hope this is the case with him as well," Farah told PTI in an interview.

The choreographer-turned-director, who returns behind the camera after a gap of almost three years for 'Tees Maar Khan', says she could not wait for a year to start the movie with Shah Rukh being busy with home production 'Ra.One'.

"We had this amazing script. We could not wait for a year.

Sajid Khan: No strain in my relationship with Shahrukh

His sister worked with Shahrukh Khan in MAIN HOON NAA and OM SHANTI OM before roping in Akshay Kumar for TEES MAAR KHAN. He himself has worked with Akshay Kumar in HEYY BABYY and now HOUSEFULL. However, Sajid insists that there are no uncomfortable moments for him when it comes to Shah Rukh Khan and he continues to share great relationship with him till date.

"In fact all these talks about Farah choosing to rope in Akshay instead of Shahrukh is nothing but media hype", says Sajid, "Ever since the news came about Akshay doing Farah film, I have had dinner with Shahrukh and gang 4-5 times. There is no strain in our relationship."

While he is close to Akshay Kumar, he had requested Shah Rukh Khan to come on board for a special song and dance number in HEYY BABYY. Is there something bigger and better for King Khan on the anvil?

"In fact my dream project is to get him and Akshay together for a film. They have been seen earlier in DIL TO PAAGAL HAI and HEYY BABYY but never as parallel leads. I am confident one day I would be able to conceive a project where both would be seen together in equal roles", concludes Sajid hopefully.

Well, we are already excited. And waiting!

'My Name Is Khan' made them cry

She cried like a baby and seriously the choreographer – director Farah is trying to mend her relationship with SRK. We are talking about the reaction of Farah during and after the screening of MNIK.

Farah saw ‘My Name Is Khan’ and is all praises for the actor Shahrukh Khan.

During the screening, Farah sat between Karan and John and she and John can’t hold their tears, she said, “MNIK has many tender moments. I was crying because it was a very sentimental time for me.”

Soon after the screening, she called up Shahrukh and appreciated him for his brilliant performance. She loved the film from her heart.

She further said, “I saw MNIK and I loved it! As aam junta. Shah Rukh was brilliant in the film and I called him up immediately after the film and told him that. We discussed the film for about half an hour."

Farah Khan rubbishes rift with Shahrukh

Choreographer turned director Farah Khan and actor Shahrukh Khan has been the best buddies for years but recently the rumor blow up that they are no longer friends. The news caught fire when Farah Khan dropped King Khan from her new project, ‘Tees Maar Khan’ and opted for Akshay Kumar. However, it was also said that Farah Khan was not happy with Shahrukh Khan as he had been delaying her another project, ‘Happy New Year’ for a long time.

The news about their differences was confirmed when Shahrukh Khan did not turn up for Farah Khan’s lingerie show. But now Farah has put all those rumors on rest by accompanying Gauri Khan at the screening of James Cameron's Avatar. The special screening was arranged by Shahrukh for his children and close friends. Present on the occasion were Farah Khan, Karan Johar and Javed Akhtar.

It seems now things have come to the right track.

Farah & Shahrukh's HAPPY NEW YEAR starts in 2011!

While on one side media is abuzz with the news that choreographer turned filmmaker Farah Khan and long standing friend Shahrukh Khan have fallen apart and that's the reason Farah chose Akshay over Shahrukh for her forthcoming film TEES MAAR KHAN, than on other side its being said that Farah is planning to start her pending project with Shahrukh.

If the latest reports are to be believed than Farah is all set to begin her long cherished project HAPPY NEW YEAR with buddy Shahrukh in the year 2011, after the release of Akshay-Katrina starrer TEES MAAR KHAN. Infact Farah has been telling people that she won't work with anyone else but SRK for the film.

Apparently HAPPY NEW YEAR got delayed as Shahrukh had suggested her to make some necessary changes. So in that process it got postponed for over a year and a half.

Hope this shuts all those wagging tongues trying to create a fissure in SRK & Farah's good friendship!

Farah can't keep waiting for me, says SRK - Video

Shah Rukh Khan says that because of his injuries, his schedules have gone out of control.

Shahrukh dumps Shirish Kunder

Honeymoon Travels director Reema Kagti, and not Shirish Kunder, is now developing Zoya Factor. The film, produced by Shahrukh Khan's production company Red Chillies, is an adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name penned by Anuja Chauhan. Says a source, "Differences arose between SRK and Farah Khan's hubby over the screenplay and script. They had severe creative issues. Both were looking at the script with a different vision." At this point, SRK decided to change his director.

SRK offered the film to Reema as she seemed to understand what he wanted to do with the film. But he forgot to tell Shirish that he was giving the project to someone else to work on. Shirish found out by accident that the film no longer had his name on it. When Farah heard this, she was hurt and upset at the manner in which her hubby has been ousted. Adds the source, "Shirish had started work on the film and was looking for an actor who would play a cricketer. The film was supposed to go on the floors early next year."

Reema maintains, "I am writing the screenplay of the film, not directing it. Vishal Punjabi is directing Zoya Factor." Vishal was the visual effects producer for the SRK starrer Paheli which he had also produced. Meanwhile, Shirish says, "I was never supposed to direct Zoya Factor, only Joker." SRK remained unavailable for comment.

What is Zoya Factor?
It is about a girl called Zoya who was born exactly at the moment when India won the World Cup in 1983. Strangely, Zoya proves to be a girl of incredible luck for cricket matches. Whenever she watches a match, India ends up winning.

Shahrukh parties hard on birthday

The star's birthday party was a loud and noisy affair, despite his family planning a low-key affair.

The Khans wanted it to be a low key affair this time around. But then Shahrukh Khan is not called the king just for the sake of it. Shahrukh’s dear friend Sanjay Kapoor hosted a party in the honour of the star’s birthday.

As the gathering was for the king himself it sure had to be king size. The birthday bash was held at Sanjay’s bunglow which is situated at the posh suburbs of Juhu. So when everybody was busy quipping about SRK’s birthday, the star himself was invited to this private celebration.

It was a star studded evening and guess who all were there? Well, to begin with, the best friends were all there to mark their presence at this event. By best friends we mean none other than Karan Johar and Farah Khan. And we are not done yet?

Also, walking in to wish a happy-happy birthday to Shahrukh Khan was Karishma Kapoor along with hubby Sanjay. What added more cheer to the occasion was the little belly bump on the mom to be, Karishma.

Who else? Well, Kareena Kapoor made her way to the party along with Saif Ali Khan and the couple, like always, was a treat to watch.

Among others was the designer friend Shabina Khan.

A superstar to be, Aryan, Shahrukh’s son, added a lot of jitter. Looking like a million bucks in the party, clad in the super flashy brands from tip to toe, he sure was the centre of attention.

Like always, Shahrukh was the charm of the party and this one specially being his own birthday bash, he made sure that he enjoyed it to the last bit.

Shahrukh Khan felt insecure about wife Gauri

Fans call him King of Bollywood. He is no doubt a superstar and has huge fans following all over the world. No girl would say no if he proposes. Surprisingly, this superstar felt so insecure about his wife at one point of time. We are taking about Shahrukh Khan.

Shahrukh revealed on Farah Khan's Tere Mere Beach Mein that he felt so insecure about his relationship while he was dating Gauri Khan, so much so that he didn't even like her to loosen her hair. He said that she was so beautiful that he used to stop her from wearing mini-skirts and T-shirts. However, he promised her that he would not act in such a rotten manner after getting married. He also said that he felt insecure till they tied the knot, as he didn't know if she belonged to him like he belonged to her.

As promised, Shahrukh let Gauri wear whatever she likes after marriage. He said that today even his son Aryan tells her that he doesn't like her in long covered clothes if she returns from a party wearing a long skirt.

Gauri is the most beautiful woman to Shahrukh and Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is his second choice.

I love women: Shah Rukh

As celebrity guest in the hit chat show Tere Mere Beach Mein, Shah Rukh Khan is at his candid best and shares his secrets for happy and healthy marriages. Some of them were:

1. "This is my suggestion to all the men: Whenever your wife calls, quickly answer / respond, even if it means telling lies, whatever lie it may be, like you don’t need to tell her with whom you’re having a bath etc ... as long as you can you respond to her call and say ‘yes, darling I love you too, muawh, muawh’!"

2. "Mujko genuinely aisa lagta hain ... ki bhagwan hai, allah hain, khuda hain, god hain aur agar uske baad koi hain toh who auraat hain ... And I believe that aurton ki izzat honi chahiye ... unse pyaar hona chahiye ... isiliye main hamesha kehta hoon that I truly and absolutely LOVE WOMEN!"

3. "Girls are good if you just listen to them in small things, say yes to everything they ask for, don’t do any of it and you get by very easily in life ... "

4. "They need time and when she gives me so much freedom, it's my duty, dharm to do what she likes. I have never come home and said I am tired, because main jo thaaka hua hoon apne kaam mein thakka hua hoon ... at home, my time is for my wife and my children, I cannot go wrong with them."

5. "Any man who is comfortable in letting his wife be is the real man and any man who is uncomfortable letting his girlfriend / wife be is an absolutely insecure wimp and foolish man."

Shahrukh washes his wife’s feet every morning!

Can you imagine that King Khan every morning washes his wife’s feet and drinks the water? Yes, this masaladar truth directly came from the horse mouth, Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh Khan is his wife’s man. He idolizes Gauri and he has already proved himself a dedicated husband. He revealed the secret to host Farah Khan on the chat show, ‘Tere Mere Beech Mein’. He worships Gauri and for his ‘Joru Ka Ghulam’ nature, he was awarded the ‘Joru Ka Gulaam’ award.

Shahrukh Khan even admitted that before marriage he was very possessive about Gauri and debarred her from wearing mini-skirts and T-shirts. “But I promised her the minute we married that I'd never behave in such a rotten manner. She would never feel curbed from doing anything. I was only insecure till we were married because I didn't know if she belonged to me like I belonged to her,” stated Khan.

Shahrukh went on to say that his son Aryan now doesn’t like his mother to wear long covered clothes as he feels she is the most beautiful woman.

The nominee for the ‘Joru Ka Ghulam’ award was Abhishek Bachchan (for Aishwarya Rai), Anil Ambani (Tina Ambani), Hrithik Roshan (Suzzane), Sachin Tendulkar (Anjali), Akshaye Kumar (Twinkle) but it was Shahrukh Khan who walked away with the award. On receiving the award, Shahrukh said, “Yeh mera haq hain aur maine haq se jeeta hai!”
