Shah Rukh Khan gets a piece of moon every birthday, Michael Jackson only moon-walked!!

Share This Post

Yeah, it’s true!! Shah Rukh Khan, the King Khan of bollywood who reigns over Indian dream factory , gets a piece of moon on his every birthday bought by an Australian lady fan and so has surpassed even King of Pop, Michael Jackson, who only perfected the ‘moon walk’ style of dancing in the world.

The Australian fan of Shah Rukh Khan, not only purchases the land on moon for King Khan in acres, but also sends the certificates of deed to him via the Lunar Republic Society. An ownership package includes a beautifully engraved parchment deed, a satellite photograph of the property and an information sheet detailing the geography of that particular region on the Sea of Tranquility.

In fact, anybody can buy land on the moon for a sum of $37.50 per acre. However, this purchase at one time can not exceed the limit of 40acres per transaction.

The most beautiful thing about Shah Rukh Khan getting birthday gifts from an Australian fan, and that too on the moon, is that she keeps in touch with him throughout the year. Shah Rukh recently admitted that the lady regularly writes him mails, which are generally written in multiple colors. Naturally, King Khan was ecstatic about getting so much of love from his fans in India and abroad.

In the meantime, Shah Rukh Khan gets another gift from ace filmmaker and his close pal Karan Johar, who has decided to release his upcoming flick ‘My Name Is Khan’ on Valentine Day next year. Sources say that Karan Johar chose the date of 12 February next year to release the flick, as King Khan has always been considered a lover boy, and hence Valentine Day will perfectly suit that tag for the release of the film.

‘My Name Is Khan’ will also see the iconic paring of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol back in action after a long gap (They had created history at the box office with their super duper hit outing ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge).

Even Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan will be coming together in a flick after almost three years. Their last outing was ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’, and that too had been a runway hit at the box office.

As far as theme of ‘My Name Is Khan’ is concerned, it will once again have Shah Rukh Khan trying to find out his love from one part of the US to another (as the film is set in the post bombing New York)

Shah Rukh Khan plays the character of Rizwan Khan, who suffers from a rare disease of asperger and tries to cope with life in a country which has been traumatized by a terrorist strike in its biggest and most beautiful city. Kajol plays his love interest in the film.

MJ's Brother Jermaine planning a holiday with SRK

Share This Post

He came, he saw, and he made friends with the biggest names in Bollywood. Last week, after Shah Rukh Khan hosted a party in his honour, Jermaine Jackson, the brother of the late King of Pop, is all praises for King Khan's hospitality. "His party was good fun. The food was amazing and I interacted with several Bollywood stars.

Priyanka Chopra is very beautiful," he says. About his growing friendship with King Khan, he says, he found SRK "humble and nice." He adds, "Shah Rukh and I are planning a holiday together when he comes down to the US."

Prior to his first India visit, Jermaine's one-point contact in Bollywood was his ex-Big Brother housemate Shilpa Shetty. "Shilpa's like a sister to me and we were each other's support throughout the show. We kept in touch even after the show ended," he says.

Having been in India for three weeks now, the singer is happy at the successful completion of the video, which brought him here. "I wrote this song, Let's go to crystal city that we later changed to Let's go to Mumbai city. We shot the video in different locations across Mumbai. It was a great experience to see the Taj Mahal Hotel, the Gateway of India, the slums and railway stations. We even went to a mosque," he says.

Having worked on the video with musician Adnan Sami, he says, "I'd [originally] planned to do this song with my brother, Michael."

Michael Jackson has influenced Bollywood for decades now. From his signature moves to his singing, he has inspired everyone from musicians to technicians.

Now, Bollywood unites to pay a heartfelt tribute to the King of Pop in a video, which will be aired on Michael Jackson’s birthday on August 29. The initiative has been taken by Shah Rukh Khan himself.

Vishal Dadlani confirmed the story and said, “The song is titled, We lived in his world.”

Our source said, “Shah Rukh Khan is a huge fan of the late Michael Jackson and when the creative heads in Red Chilles pitched the idea, he loved it. He had cried when he learnt about MJ’s death. He was also supposed to attend one of the London concerts which never happened. So, the idea was finalised and they decided to make a music video as a tribute. The best talent for the song was Vishal of the Vishal-Shekhar duo. Vishal is a huge fan too and he was in shock for days when he learnt about MJ’s death.

He has written this passionate song and it has been composed by Vishal-Shekhar. They are also the performers in the video with singers Kay Kay, Shaan, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Goshal, among others.

It’s been shot in low lighting and has a unique mood. The video will be aired on all the leading channels on August 29, MJ’s birthday. The song has been choreographed by Remo.”

Samar Khan remained unavailable for comment.

Share This Post

"I cried, it was since long I cried. My wife and kids also cried," said Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan after hearing about the tragic death of 'King of Pop' Micheal Jackson.

Describing himself an ardent fan of Jackson, Khan said, "I felt very sad. I had met him. He was a wonderful creation of God," he said.

He was talking to reporters at a ceremony where an Honorary Doctorate was conferred on him by UK's Bedfordshire University.

"The only music I knew or heard during the last three four years is that of Michael Jackson. I don't have any understanding of other western music," Khan said.

"I felt I lost my youth when I heard Michael Jackson pass away," he added. The 50-year-old pop icon who died of a suspected cardiac arrest on June 25 was on the verge of making a much awaited comeback in London.

The concerts were supposed to be Jackson's first public performance announcing his return to the music world after years of staying in reclusion.

What SRK and Michael Jackson Have in Common

Share This Post

The undisputed King of Pop and the most successful entertainer of all time according to the Guinness Book of World Records, Michael Jackson, and King Khan Shah Rukh of Bollywood, have more than just the superlative King in common other than being two of the most famous humans walking planet Earth.

And if you think we’re talking about Michael’s alabaster skin or his signature moonwalk in rhinestone studded trousers, then just ‘beat it’! It’s the Kings’ hair and aviator styles that’s making for haute conversations despite Team India’s marvellous performance at the T20 World Cup.

Whilst cheering on the Indian team, Six Pack Khan, with his wild, dark hair and aviators, bore an uncanny resemblance to MJ’s signature look of the 90s, So much so, that it appeared as if SRK would break into a moonwalk right there on the pitch!

And what a thriller that would have been! But what’s MJ got to do with SRK’s look? Nothing really except that SRK makes wild hair and aviators look real good. Never mind the moonwalk, he gives us a
‘Dard-e-Disco’! Instead of bringing sexy back a la Justin Timberlake, SRK’s just brought six packs in, Khan style!
