Taxmen seek fund details from Shahrukh Khan

The income tax authorities have asked Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab--the three IPL teams owned by cine stars Shilpa Shetty, Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta, respectively--for information on the sources of their funding and ownership details.

At the same time, the department has also approached authorities in tax havens such as Mauritius, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands for details of registration and investments from there in these franchises, and also to ascertain whether illegal Indian funds were ploughed back to the country or not.

Communication seeking information, particularly relating to funding or stake-holding by foreign entities, were sent to them recently after the I-T authorities found the information provided by these as inadequate, a senior official said here.

In the case of the other seven franchises, mostly owned by industrial houses like Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries, Vijay Mallya-promoted UB Group, GMR and Sahara Group, the department is satisfied and seeks to hold no further investigations, he said.

Superstar SRK as superhero car driver

Hunky boys in ravishing bikes or zooming cars, that is what woos a girl. This is the main reason why Bollywood has never given up bike riding or car driving. We have seen a lot of 'Bollywood bike guys', may it be Hrithik Roshan, John Abraham or Salman Khan. Their love for bikes and their way to show their compatibility is still fresh in our minds. Speak from bodybuilding to passion for gears these men lead the race.

Now it seems Shahrukh Khan is also joining the league – not with bike but with the world's fastest car- the Bugatti Veyron in his film upcoming film Ra.1 (Random Access Version One). This film has always been in news, may it be the different looks of Kareena Kapoor, or the script of the story. Bollywood is moving towards the science world and trying to match up with Hollywood.

King Khan who is excited about the new improvement that he is planning to take special driving lessons from the technical team that worked with The Pirates of the Caribbean. Well, King Khan needs to take this lesson on driving, because the car's top speed is 407 kilometer per hour.

Ra.1 by Anubhav Singh is a science fiction wherein Shahrukh plays the role of a super hero called G.One. India's second super hero after Hrithik Roshan in Krrish will be driving the world's fastest car. Now that's what would be called, a super hero scene. King Khan who is a perfectionist is serious about his lessons on the machine because it is said that Ra.1 is his most ambitious project till date. Shahrukh will be performing different stunts in the film. Driving Volkswagen Bugatti Veyron was the decision of Mr. Khan himself.

Though presently Shahrukh Khan is off for a Holiday with his family in South Africa and watching the FIFA world cup, from there he will directly fly to London for the next schedule of Ra.1.

Hope this new experience turn out to be Shahhrukh's best one. Wish you all the Luck for the film.

Shahrukh Khan Forms A Great Human Being

Gauri is indeed the luckiest woman who is married to a person like Shah Rukh, He is not only a great actor, but he has a great respect for women and can’t hurt them or let them being hurt at any cost.

Shah Rukh khan is a blessed person and he makes sure that every women around him, never gets ill-treated. He greatly obliges to his female fans, he signs autographs for them, poses for pictures and throws his dimpled smile on them. He makes sure that women around him get most of the attention and care.

There are many other examples to prove his respect for women. Shah Rukh is extremely caring and protective for women and his wife, Gauri and he have made a rule in their house ‘Mannat’.

The actor himself reveals, “Gauri and I want the female workers of the house to feel at ease when they are working. We thus make sure that on few floors the men workers of the house are not allowed as the women shouldn’t feel conscious when they get up in the morning and start working.”

SRK, Preity and Ranbir in a film?

Rumour or Truth

We heard that Ranbir Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta are going to act together in a film for Dharma Productions that will go on the floors in January. PZ, it seems, suits the role.

Shahrukh-Gauri get protective in Mannat

Talk to Shah Rukh Khan and if you happen to be a woman, there’s no way you will not end up going weak in the knees. The actor too obliges his female fans by flashing his dimpled smile at them, posing for pictures and signing autographs for them. Just like women shower special attention on Shah Rukh, the actor reciprocates by ensuring women, around him are never ill-treated either.

We recall, during one of the press conferences, Shah Rukh drove the photographers into absolute frenzy (the way it happens every time SRK steps out and attends an event). SRK’s bodyguards tried to control the paparazzi and even in this extreme chaos the actor warned his bodyguards not to hurt any female reporters who were also waiting for his bytes.

The actor is extremely protective of women and hates it when they are put though any form of abuse or discomfort. Shah Rukh and Gauri have thus introduced a norm in Mannat that ensures total comfort for the women workers in the house.

In a tv documentary made on him, the actor himself revealed, “Gauri and I want the female workers of the house to feel at ease when they are working. We thus make sure that on few floors the men workers of the house are not allowed as the women shouldn’t feel conscious when they get up in the morning and start working.”

We were charmed, awed and inspired by SRK all this while but this piece of news has made us realize how great a soul he indeed is other than being a great actor. Hats off to you Shah Rukh.
