Shiv Sena targets Shahrukh, Maha government promises protection

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was targeted by Shiv Sena for advocating the cause of Pakistani cricketers in the third season of Indian Premier League (IPL) but the Maharashtra government Friday promised to protect the actor.

Shiv Sena activists burnt SRK's effigies and the posters of his upcoming movie 'My Name Is Khan'.

Minister of State for Home Ramesh Bagwe told reporters that the government was ready to provide Shah Rukh security if he desired it.

The minister also vowed to give 'full security' to all the players in the IPL matches.

The Shiv Sena hit out at the actor, who is also the Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner, after he said that he would have picked a Pakistani player for IPL matches if his team had a slot.

The IPL teams' failure to select even a single Pakistani cricketer has raised a storm in Pakistan.

Attacking Shah Rukh for espousing the cause of Pakistani players, Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut said if the actor was so keen on them, 'he could go play his matches in Lahore, not in India'.

'Pakistan has been blatantly indulging in terror activities and killing our innocent people. Sena is firm in not allowing Pakistani players on our soil,' Raut told reporters.

Taking the issue further, Thane Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde announced that no film of Shah Rukh would be screened in the district.

'Since Shah Rukh Khan has hurt the sentiments of the people by his utterances, we have decided that his films will not be exhibited in any cinema or multiplex in the entire Thane district,' said Shinde.

Shah Rukh's latest movie, 'My Name Is Khan', is due for global release Feb 12.

Shah Rukh had said in Ahmedabad Wednesday that there was a need to create an environment where IPL franchisees could recruit Pakistani players with ease.

He said that his team had exhausted its quota of foreign players by picking up Shane Bond. Otherwise, he would have loved to have Pakistanis in the Kolkata Knight Riders.

In a related development, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray lashed out at industrialist Mukesh Ambani for his views in London that Mumbai belonged to the whole country.

Saying that the industrialist was 'not in his senses' when he made the statement, Thackeray said that 'Mumbai belonged to Marathis' as much as Reliance Industries belonged Mukesh Ambani.

Jackie Chan might make his Bollywood debut with SRK's Ra1

If Shah Rukh has his way, Jackie might make B-Town debut in Ra1

Martial arts legend Jackie Chan will make his Bollywood debut with Shah Rukh's Ra1. Sources from Red Chillies reveal they are in talks with Chan for the superhero action film.

If Chan comes on board, expect to see major action scenes featuring him and SRK in the action-thriller directed by Anubhav Sinha.

Ra1 will be based in Miami and Hollywood crew will being used for the film. Cinematography is by Ueli Steiger ("The Maiden Heist"), while David Benullo ("Shadow Man") is screenwriter. According to the buzz, Jackie will play the role of a scientist who helps Shah Rukh fight off the bad guys. A source says, "They are hoping Jackie agrees to be part of the film. The production house has sent him a detailed script with the action scenes and a brief synopsis of his character.

Shah Rukh's son Aryan is a huge fan of action movies and Ra1 is being made keeping in mind what kids his age want to see in a film of this genre. Since Jackie is the best in the business when it comes to performing and executing fight scenes involving martial arts, they want to have him on this film."

Chan has worked with Mallika Sherawat in the 2005 release The Myth. However, over the years, the actor has become extremely choosy about his work. His last release -- The Spy Next Door that opened to mixed reviews and didn't do good business at the box-office.

Anubhav Sinha refused to comment on the development.

Shah Rukh Khan is 'scared' of getting into relationships

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said he is "scared" of getting into relationships and finds himself socially and emotionally inept.

"There are days I feel lonely. I have never gotten into relationships, because I'm scared to. I lost my parents, so now I don't like to lose relationships," Shah Rukh has been quoted as saying in GQ India' magazine's latest issue.

About his reported uncomfortable relationships with contemporaries and seniors in Bollywood, where he has spent nearly two decades, Shah Rukh said his fall-out with Salman Khan was personal and not work-related.

"With Aamir (Khan) and Amitabh Bachchan, there is no fall-out," the 44-year-old actor said.

And while talking about his friend filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan, Shah Rukh said, "I'll be honest about Farah. Her work defines her. None of us owe anything to anyone. I always believe that."

To a question on what has he learned in the film industry, he said, "Everyone doesn't understand my humour. Happiness comes on a successful Friday. And all this happens if you're happening. The industry is the nicest place to be because it's straightforward."

"If you believe you are a means to an end, you will always be successful in this industry. If you believe you are the end, you will feel cheated, unhappy, let down," King Khan said.

Shahrukh Khan Promises 'Plenty of Sex' in 'My Name is Khan'

His name is Khan and apparently he loves sex! You heard right! During a recent interview, Shahrukh Khan was asked about the alleged "mature love story" in his upcoming movie "My Name is Khan" and this is what he had to say:

"Oh, you’re asking about sex? Be more specific. Yes of course, there’s plenty of sex in the movie. My character does it everywhere. In the kitchen, the hall, the drawing room — everywhere. That’s what the movie is all about."

Wow!

We guess movie fans are in for a real treat with this one! And here we were thinking "MNIK" was going to be about terrorism! Looks like we were completely wrong!

But hold on a minute! Not so fast! "My Name is Khan" producer Karan Johar quickly went into damage control mood when he heard what King Khan had said and explained the joke:

"No way. I clarify right here that there is no such thing happening in the movie. It’s a love story with a twist, that’s all."

Well after hearing what Shahrukh had to say we can't wait to see what 'twist' Johar is talking about!

Don't you just love Shahrukh Khan's sexy sense of humor! Are you going to catch "My Name is Khan?" Drop us a line.

♥ To have SRK down on his knees is many a girl’s dream, but check out who got the special attention ♥

Shah Rukh Khan went down on his knees and proposed to a girl dressed up as a bride at an event at Ahmedabad yesterday. Obviously, the girl does not plan to ever remove the ring

Shah Rukh Khan got married again yesterday at a five-star hotel in Ahmedabad to 20-year-old Tillana Desai. Wait, don’t jump to conclusions, it was a mock wedding that SRK impulsively thought up to pacify the girl who is in love with him. SRK was promoting his film My Name is Khan and didn’t think he’d run into a girl, dressed up as a bride, who also wanted her name to be Khan!

Our source said, “At his film’s event, SRK had to meet people with unusual love stories. Among the crowd, was 20-year-old Tillana Desai, who had come dressed in full bridal finery. When SRK asked her about her love story, she said she had been in love with a guy since she was seven but can’t marry him as he is already married.

When SRK asked her who the guy was, he was surprised to know that he was the man in question. She also said that she only uses the products that he endorses and refuses to buy anything else. The girl insisted that SRK should marry her. SRK used his million-dollar charm to overcome the awkwardness. The girl had even brought a ring with her. He went down on his knees and slipped the ring on her finger, saying that this is their rehearsal for the wedding.”

The lucky girl is on cloud nine. To have SRK down on his knees is many a girl’s dream, but she was the one who ended up with the special attention. We spoke to Tillana Desai, who gushed, “SRK was really cute. Usne mujhe yeh wedding ring pehnai. I told him that I’ve been crazy about him for years. Unfortunately, he is married. I guess he thought that my love story was very unusual and that’s why he said that we should get married and gave me this ring.

I will never remove the ring and I am glad that he accepted my love and admiration for him. He even asked me about my family and I told him that they could not make it. However, I invited him to my house for dinner, but I guess he was busy.”

Shahrukh Khan marries a 20-yr-old fan

Puts a ring on her finger

She has been in love with him since she was seven, has watched all his films, and she dressed up as a bride at a five-star hotel in Ahmedabad where Shahrukh Khan came to promote his upcoming film My Name Is Khan.

It was a unique promotional event where people who had unusual love stories were called in to narrate their tales. When the 20-year-old Tillana Desai came on stage, she said she’s loved someone since her childhood but can’t marry him as he’s already married.

When asked who the man was, SRK was shocked to know that Tillana has been in love with him for most of her life. The besotted fan then took out a wedding ring and asked SRK to marry her.

Courteous enough to not break her heart, SRK obliged by staging a mock marriage with Tillana. He bent down on his knee and slid the ring into Tillana’s finger. The girl was simply ecstatic, to say the least.

“I will never remove the ring and I am glad that he accepted my love and admiration for him,” Tillana later told a tabloid.
