Shahrukh says " Dream for it, that makes it happen"






When the 100crore club is so highly pronounced nowadays, it seems that the actor who did give two 100crore movies is not so much concerned. The 100crore club news came into light when Akshay Kumar, after a long period did come back into the club with his movie 'Rowdy Rathore'. Akshay did catch his much appreciated genre - action - (ofcourse, this comes after his comedy flicks) and did work wonders. This was when the reporters tried to catch the King Khan for his comments on being the 100crore member!

“When a newspaper recently wrote about how an actor made it in to the Rs. 100 cr club, someone called me and said, ‘See, you haven’t been included in it’. But I didn’t see (the article) in that light. I make films for my audiences, never for such things,” says SRK. 

Shahrukh Khan who is extremely happy with his movies and also because his IPL team has been doing outstandingly well, says that he was always the same way "I don’t need a reason to be happy. I want everyone, universally, to love me, and I have always worked towards achieving that. Whenever I get an opportunity, I try and return the favour and make them happy.” 

Shahrukh Khan says, that his ability to dream of his achievements helped him gain them in reality. He is thanking the god as always for helping him through this and says “Someone gave me this book called The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. It talks about how you can attain things by imagining them,”

So reading books did help? you read the whole book sir? “No, I didn’t. But I watched a part of a film that was based on it. It got boring,” he says, before smiling and adding, “I know what they are trying to say. For example, I have been imagining stadiums, my studio, house and even my new office, and as a result, I have achieved things in life.”

While all this happens, we just wonder when he is going to dream about 'Dempo' the Bengal football club. The actor was keen on grabbing hands there but there hasn't been much happening with the deal. "Has Shah Rukh already closed the deal? This will be a major decision for Indian football," said former India captain and Dempo midfielder Climax Lawrence. That is the same question we have!

He kept that simple! SRK who is currently working with Yash Raj movies for the titled (or still untitled ) movie. The movie has Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma playing his female leads.

Poonam Pandey wants to do love making scenes




The 21-year-old model Poonam Pandey who had posted nude pictures of her on social networking site 'Twitter' to celebrate Kolkata Knight Riders' win against Chennai Super Kings at the Indian Premiere League (IPL) season five grand finale now wants to make love on screen.

Poonam Pandey said that she carefully selected a bold film for her Bollywood debut and would not mind doing a lovemaking scene. Seems as if she is all set to do some bold scenes for the movie camera. She said that, “The film is very different from anything you have seen on screen till now. The bold scenes will be shot aesthetically,” 

She added, “If the role demands, I would not mind doing a lovemaking scene.”

Poonam Pandey even said that she had rejected alot of offers before selecting a movie to make her debut in bollywood. She said that, “I rejected around 30-40 films, as none of them interested me much. I wanted a great start to Bollywood and my (debut) film gives me that platform.”

She has been in the news since quite some time especially after keeping her promise of posting a nude picture on twitter after Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's team Kolkata Knight Riders won at the Indian Premiere League (IPL) season 5 finals. Last year she had first said that she would go nude if India would win the World Cup, but the lady did not keep her promise. 

Poonam Pandey was one of the top 8 contestants of Gladrags 2010. She was seen in shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi.

Poonam Pandey's picture is morphed






Few days back Poonam Pandey tweeted a nude picture on Twitter to celebrate Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) win against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the fifth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on 27th May 2012.

Before posting the picture, she had tweeted: "Wowwwwwwwwwwww what ever team I support always wins #IPL #KKR #SRK so as I promised, a pic is on its way."

The picture showed her laying nude on her stomach where she is wearing nothing at all, with her essentials kept hidden. She wore a pair of black heels and had accessorised her bare look with black beads on her wrist and a black neckpiece.

Along with the picture she had tweeted, "Here is a pic as I promised." She added, "WARNING 18 and under should not try looking up the pic. that said I do not take responsibility for anyone under age."

After seeing Poonam Pandey's picture Shah Rukh Khan said that, "When we won the (cricket) World Cup all our friends went out in cars waving our flag....when KKR won I did a cartwheel...everyone has their own way of expressing happiness..I can't comment on this."

But photo shop experts say that the picture has been MORPHED !!!!

We wonder why Pandey morphed her picture to appear how she actually has and to when she hasn't even revealed anything ultimately.

failure and success are not permanent - SRK





Back to the humble self the pride owner of Kolkatta Knight Riders and much popularly the King Khan was happy to meet the press after the much controversial weeks with his team and game. He says he has been tasting failure for the past few years and he totally accepts the fact. And for his misbehavior, he feels that it is perfectly human emotion when one's family is involved. He had clarified himself yesterday that he wont be apologizing to the MCA for what he did, although post match he did apologize to his fans for showing out a 'not-so-good' side of his with the brawl.

"In last five years, I have changed and realised I can also fail," Shah Rukh told reporters Wednesday when he was asked what he has learned from failure and controversies."I had not faced failure for many years and it (failure) has made me humble... you can`t get angry and say the world is wrong and we have to realise failure is part of our life... failure and success are not permanent," he added.

Shahrukh who has been involved in a bad events since the bad outing of Ra.One at boxoffice, he had been involved in the fight with Shirish Kunder and further with the MCA officials. Both events had given a wrong impression about the star but it seems he is perfectly in control and cool about it. Although the other side of the story is that he was cornered and he had no other option than to react in the violent of gestures that is known. 

Although the team he owns seems to have a different luck this year as they went ahead with beating Chennai Super Kings at the finals to win the IPL 5 cup. SRK still seems to be in the kick of the success and says "I don`t remember the last six balls.. I was only praying to Allah Miyan... I was having a personal conversation with Allah Miyan... cricket pe you don`t have any control...(daughter) Suhana asked, `Will we win the match?` And I just hugged her... every time she had come to see the match, we won... I have always told my kids hard work pays... the entire night I watched the match (replays)... three times with Juhi and her husband."

He continues “Finally, the monkey is off the back now,” was his reply when asked about the victory that KKR tasted for the first time in five editions. “The greatness of the team is how well they have gelled together. I know the boys have felt the pressure of working for a team of a film star. So, I am happy that the pressure is off,” he said. “(Gautam) Gambhir’s decision to stick to players who have not been in good form did wonders. The players kept backing each other. If today Jacques (Kallis) cannot perform, Manoj (Tiwary) will do the job or Yusuf (Pathan). Don’t be taken by the fact that only I have to go and play. That aspect helped the team.”

He also clarified about the brawl saying "“My fight is not with the association. It is with an individual. I don’t want to get into this. Neither am I with the association nor apologising to the association. If you are walking away and some comment is being directed at you, it is better to be thick-skinned and be silent. So, I have to be a little more patient. Every association has their rules and they should follow it.”

Khan also has plans of starting cricket academies in Bengal.

Five year ban - SRK @ Wankhede




Finally MCA has arrived at a feasible solution to the much hyped controversy. There was war of words and it seems to have settled down from what looked like a life time ban to a five year ban. Yes, Shah Rukh Khan will not be allowed in the premises of Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai for the next five years. BCCI has opted out of the controversy and have advised both MCA officials and Shah Rukh to ease it out and not continue the words war!

On Wednesday, the MCA filed a police complaint against the Bollywood star for abusing and assaulting its officials in an inebriated state; the Bollywood star, in turn, sought an apology from the association for security guards shoving his daughter and other kids around and its officials' "unpardonable" behaviour. 

The controversial event happened after the 32-run win by KKR over Mumbai Indians and after the match SRK was accompanied by a team of 20-30 kids and the issue happened when the kids tried to enter the stadium and the security officials at the ground tried to stop them at the boundary lines. SRK was etched when the security team did try to touch and 'manhandled' the kids in the name of security. SRK says "touched little girls in the garb of security". This led to an argument, in which Khan and his associates allegedly abused and shoved MCA officials and security guards. 


The MCA version differed greatly. In a complaint filed at Marine Drive police station, MCA secretary Nitin Dalal said Khan and his entourage "entered the ground without proper accreditation along with 15-20 boys". "When a young girl wished him... Mr Shah Rukh Khan abused her in most dirty and vulgar language (like f*** off)... an MCA watchman came forward and asked everyone to vacate the stadium. Shah Rukh charged at the watchman and hit him and continued to use abusive language like f*** MCA, f*** BCCI," the complaint asserted. 

Shahrukh says that he intervened only when he saw the security guards manhandling his kids and their friends who were playing near to the field. "It is unpardonable for security officials to physically touch little girls in the garb of security. I came downstairs to tell them not to misbehave with the children. It was the MCA officials who started the tirade, one gentleman came to the spot and said something in Marathi that is unrepeatable. That made me angry and if children with me are misbehaved with, I will behave this way time and again. Yes, I did get angry but I think the officials need to look at their own behaviour first." said the superstar in th press conference held at his home.

SRK denies that he was drunk and adds - "If this is the treatment that is meted out, I would not want to be there myself.... I will call Deshmukh. I will write a complaint about their behaviour." He also refuted allegations of him abusing a female fan. "It would be very small of me at this age and day to do something like that." 

Although Ravi Savanth continues to stay his ground and says "Shah Rukh Khan misbehaved and abused MCA security personnel as well as its officials, including our president, Vilasrao Deshmukh, after the match." Deshmukh added: "Despite (MCA) officials attempting to pacify him, Shah Rukh Khan attacked them and used abusive language. The MCA managing committee has recommended a ban and will take a final call."

Its still a big mystery but this is what it sums up to!

Shahrukh Khan Banned!




It seems that the continuous victory of his films were manageable but the continuous victory of his team has made the franchisee in Shah Rukh Khan to grow arrogant. There has been reports of him being conservative and less media friendly when he attends the matches of his team. Now another sever incident has resulted him from getting banned from the Wangede Stadium, Mumbai. The event happened yesterday over the victory party by his team after defeating Mumbai Indians by 32 runs. 

Mumbai Cricket Association or MCA reports that SRK did misbehave to the officials of MCA and also the chairman. “We have lodged a complaint against him at the Marine Drive Police station (for his alleged misbehaviour against MCA officials),” informed MCA secretary Nitin Dalal.

“He misbehaved and abused the MCA security personnel as well as MCA officials, including our president Vilasrao Deshmukh, after the IPL match (between KKR and Mumbai Indians). We have decided to ban him for life from entering the stadium in future,” said Savant, who alleged that the actor was in a totally inebriated state. Ravi Savant, is the treasurer to the MCA and was also witness to the act by superstar.

The event happened post victory run by the team, SRK had visited them in their dressing room and now wanted to enter the ground when the MCA security officials denied it. “The MCA security personnel told them they cannot do so as the match was over which led to Shah Rukh abusing them as well as the MCA officials. There was manhandling too by his people. We have decided to ban him from all future matches at the stadium. We are also going to lodge a police complaint against him,” said Savant.

Savant also said that one of the members of the MCA’s managing committee who is also a top police official, Iqbal Sheikh, tired to intervene and pacify the actor but could not do so as he was in no mood to listen to anyone. The MCA officials are also planning to lodge a complaint with the BCCI over the misbehavior by the team-owner.  Savant said all the altercation had taken place in the presence of IPL CEO Sundar Raman and BCCI’s media manager Devendra Prabhudesai.

This event is gaining importance in the midst of the IPL controversy in which 5 players were suspended.

We hope SRK does find a clean solution to this issue and not break the morale of his team when they are doing 'really' good!

Shahrukh Khan in trouble for Smoking



Shahrukh Khan the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders seems to have landed up in big trouble for smoking in public. 


A complaint was filed in a court on Monday against the Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan for smoking in public during a cricket match of his own Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders with Rajasthan Royals which was held at Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur,Rajasthan on Sunday. 

In fact King Khan was even broadcasted live on TV smoking in the stadium during the match. 

The director of Jaipur Cricket Academy Anand Singh Rathore moved to the court to seek a legal action against Shahrukh Khan. It is said that Anand Rathore even submitted a video evidence that clearly shows that the actor smoked in the stadium while the match was going on. 

Lawyer Nem Singh who filed the complaint on behalf of Jaipur Cricket Academy director Anand Singh Rathore said, "Smoking publicly is banned in Rajasthan since 2000. However, Shah Rukh Khan was smoking publicly in front of thousands of spectators. The actor was broadcast live while smoking on the TV channel which was showing the match."

Anand Rathore even wants an enquiry on as to why Shahrukh Khan was allowed to carry cigarettes inside the stadium because the security usually allows spectators into the stadium only after frisking. Items such as cigarettes, match-boxes, lighters and even water bottles are not allowed inside the stadium. 

The complaint said, "The police was confiscating any objectionable items including cigarettes while frisking. However, it seems Shah Rukh was allowed to carry the cigarette packet into the stadium which is negligence on part of the police also."

Shahrukh Khan has landed in trouble previously also for smoking in public. The complaint was submitted in the court of the additional chief judicial magistrate. The court has fixed April 12 for hearing in the matter.

SRK, KKR and Fans - but PC?



Shahrukh Khan is back again to the grounds of Kolkatta and what a reception did he receive at the stadium. The whole ground was chanting his name as he made his way to the arena and he did thank the audience and expressed his gratitude to the crowd for staying back at the game even when it was raining heavily. SRK is also filming at the moment, as Mamta Banerji has selected him as the brand ambassador for the state. 

SRK was smiling and was eagerly watching the match, which was just slipped off victory due to an outstanding performance by Irfan Pathan, who played in for Delhi Daredevils. Although, in midst of all controversies, KKR still remains the heartthrob of thousands and it was quite evident when the game was progressing.

THE PRIYANKA FACTOR 

However hard the actors try to avoid it, the media seems to be catching upon the new linkup stories between Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra. The story still spreads out that the PC factor is causing troubles with SRK's friends circle as well as family. The situation is more like a war between the friends of PC and friends of Gauri Khan, SRK's wife. 

The latest rumors are that SRK has been asked to avoid being friends with PC and to stop causing stories that humiliates his wife and kids. He has also been asked to choose between family and friendship, also the stories are that whoever talks against PC gets immediately thrown out of SRK's friend circle. The stories are still flying around as we do not have enough facts or sources to confirm these acts. 

It is said that Gauri Khan and her friends have stopped calling in Priyanka on the socialite parties that the group conducts and she has been avoided by best friend film makers of bollywood. To retaliate the matter, a so called 'friend's circle' of Priyanka is collaborating with media to give in alternate stories about how the super star's wife is being affecting the career of Priyanka Chopra. 

As these stories seem to fume upward, both actors are maintaining their cool and interacting with each other as they normally do. The noticable changes that is to PC is that she is now taking all opportunities to express her love for SRK movies and his talents. Although SRK still remains invincible by the media and he doesn't comment on these rumors. This is for the first time that Superstar SRK has been brought into the rumor of having a relationship with an actress. He has been strong and has always avoided the trouble. 

Priyanka, on the other hand has had the share of media to be brought into relationship with Akshay Kumar, Harman Bhaweja and finally Shahid Kapoor. She had clearly stated her stance for the first two and since Shahid she hasn't really commented on any such gossips about her relationships. But what makes us more confuse is why isn't PC clearing herself in media about her alleged stories.

We tend to wonder if it is more of a business relationship, as she finds it greater opportunity to be with SRK and his business to evict the competition that is being put up by the likes of Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor and lately Vidya Balan. The lady superstars are still ruling the industry and in this situation, we cannot blame Priyanka being friends with the greatest superstars in the industry. While she is in this linkup, she is also friends with Salman and Akshay, so may be she is playing safe.

At the moment, we are still watching the drama unfold, it might be a superb business tactics by the actress or she might endup as the 'other' women who did finally steal heart of the invincible SRK!

West Bengal Ambassador - Shah Rukh Khan



Korbo Lorbo Jeet Bore will now have a new meaning for SRK as he is now being appointed as the Brand Ambassador for West Bengal tourism. It seems that Mamta Banerjee is planning a revamp of the face of WB tourism with the new move. As SRK has already been associated with Kolkata Knight Riders, his IPL team, it has made a special place in his heart for Bengal as a whole.

Speaking in the ceremony, state Tourism minister Rachpal Singh said "We know Amitabh Bachchan as the Gujarat's brand ambassador but now we have Shah Rukh. He has great acceptability. We can tap into foreign market."

Bengal which boasts about having mountains and see in the same state has not really been found exploiting the possibilities of tourism as in Gujrat which had recent investment to increase tourism to the state. We hope association of SRK does bring up more tourists over to Bengal.

SRK had also recently changed the logo of his IPL team Kolkatta Knight Riders and the change has been mostly in colors, now its purple instead of black! We hope to see more of SRK in the upcoming season!
