Shah Rukh Khan makes Rituparna Sengupta’s dream come true

Shah Rukh Khan has many admirers. But little did he realize that he would be helping someone realize her dreams this Durga Puja.

For Rituparna Sengupta, this year’s Durga Puja has been very eventful. Reminiscing about the time she spent with Khan, she said, “I finally shot with my screen idol. On the seventh day of Durga Puja, I shot an ad with Shah Rukh. For the Sona Chandi Chawanprash commercial, we were paired together as a couple.”

A busy actress Sengupta seldom shoots during the annual Durga Puja. She admitted, “For us Bengalis, shooting during the festivities is sacrilege. I never shoot as I would rather spend time with my family. Time flies during this period as I am always shopping, eating and dressing up. But this year was an exception as it meant working with SRK.”

Sengupta met Khan earlier when he had invited her to Eden Gardens to watch Kolkata Knight Riders play in the first edition of the Indian Premier League. Thereafter she joined him for a thalassemic awareness drive in Kolkata.

Sengupta however, had more to say about her hero. She said, “It is such a co-incidence that I am also doing a film called SRK with Vinay Pathak. It looks like that I have more than my fair share of SRK this year.”

Sengupta shot with Khan for a day for the ad.

Run with Shah Rukh Khan at Delhi Half Marathon!

Here is a chance for big-hearted Dilliwallas to run with the reigning superstar of Bollywood – Shah Rukh Khan. The actor, who is a Delhite himself, is euphoric over the idea of running with Delhi for the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon in November. While interacting with a news daily, the actor turned nostalgic and talked about his beautiful memories related with the city.
“I was born here, in Talwar Nursing Home. I lived here for more than two decades in Rajinder Nagar. It is here that I studied, met Gauri for the first time and even started my career with serials like Fauji and Dil Darya. I remember I used to be the galli cricket champion. We used to play between parked vehicles and dodge cycle rickshaws. In between all this, we would still manage to remain focussed on the game,” he reminisced.

The actor stated that when Airtel invited him to be a part of the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon on November 1, he simply could not resist it. “The very idea of coming back to my own house, returning to the same streets and mingling with Dilliwallas while they take to the streets was extremely tempting. It almost feels like Delhi has got its very own carnival. And I can’t miss it for anything,” King Khan reflected.

With Shah Rukh joining Delhi on November 1, the Marathon will surely turn out to be one of it’s kind.

Karan loses sleep over My Name Is Khan

"My Name Is Khan is a simple, honest film and we don't need any such strategy to promote it," he said.
