Shah Rukh salutes his make-up dada

Shah Rukh Khan knows how to show respect to his elders and he didn't shy away from showing that at a public platform.

He was invited as a guest along with other celebrities such as Jaya Bachchan and Juhi Chawla to attend a function to award the film industry's noted technicians.

Shah Rukh gave an award to his make- up man, Ravi dada.

In his speech, SRK spoke very fondly of Ravi.

"He is a father figure to me. He was the first makeup man I ever had. I had borrowed him from Hema ji (Malini) and I told him to make me as pretty as her. Later, he stayed with me, but couldn't make me pretty," he quipped.

He showed respect for his make-up man, who has been with him through his long Bollywood journey, by touching his feet on stage. Ravi couldn't hold back his tears.

Shah Rukh is Mr Wrinkled!

What is wet, a wee-bit-wrinkled and a superstar? Not ‘Jumbo’ like we all thought; but our very own Shah Rukh Khan.

Yes, he was wet and wrinkled? How? We blame Karan Johar for that. At a set put up in Film City for My Name Is Khan, SRK was required to stay in neck-deep water for two days — in and out — and you know how the skin becomes when you’ve stayed in water for too long.

A li’l bit wrinkly. But SRK didn’t complain one bit. In fact, he was soon being called Mr Mermaid (in whispers, of course) around the sets. And even if he heard, he couldn’t get madder than a ‘wet’ hen (pun unintended); so, he laughed along with the unit at his watery get-up. Now thank God it wasn’t ‘hot’ water he was in. Poor SRK, always seems to get into trouble for no fault of his own — is the media listening here? Tsk, Tsk!

King Khan and Kendrapara village

Kendrapara (Orissa), They neither had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of his blockbusters nor the popular TV shows anchored by the superstar, yet Shah Rukh Khan has a large fan following in a remote village here.

Reason: the remote village now has light after daybreak, courtesy the generosity of the King Khan.

Ahirajpur village under Rajnagar tehsil lays its claim to fame for the fact that it has come under solar energy harnessing project funded by Shah Rukh.

But for SRK's contribution, Ahirajpur would have still remained shrouded in darkness.

Shah Rukh had fully funded the project and The Energy & Research Institute (TERI) implemented the solar energy harnessing project as part of NDTV's Greenathon initiative titled Light a Billion Lives, said the project's local coordinator Biraja Prasad Pati.

It's a sort of dream come true for residents of this perennially backward village.

Shah Rukh shoots for My Name Is Khan in a flooded trench

A seven-day schedule of My Name Is Khan kicked off at Film City in Mumbai last week. Shah Rukh Khan shot amidst three feet deep water, some of it even being rain water, in a trench for a flood sequence. Screen (June 19-25) was the first to report that the actor will be shooting a flood sequence for the film with a 135 x 240 metres wide and three-feet deep trench being dug at a ground in Film City.

Cameras were also placed underwater to capture scenes in and around a church submerged in the water. While the unit had planned artificial rain to depict heavy rains and subsequent floods, the natural rain during the week only helped them further, according to a source from the unit. The source added that work on set construction was running slow and the schedule was unlikely to take-off this month.

However, with Dharma Productions not wanting to delay the shoot, work on the set was hastened with the shoot taking-off on September 1. Post Shah Rukh’s sequences, Jimmy Sheirgill, who plays his brother in the film, was scheduled to shoot his portions during the one-week schedule.
