Shah Rukh's Co-Actors

I have said this countless amounts of time that movies equal to Shah Rukh Khan for me. I never really cared about other movies or the actors in them. This kind of sets up a image for the actors who work with Shah Rukh. Today you will get to read about my own set of titles/descriptions I gave to some actors who have occasionally worked with Shah Rukh throughout the 20 years.

Farida Jalal..."Kabhi Saas Kabhi Maa"
DDLJ, she was Shah Rukh's mother-in-law then mother in KKHH and Duplicate. I may be forgetting a few. I always viewed Farida as Shah Rukh's mother mostly, to be honest. If I ever saw her play a mother to some other actor, I'd actually think that she is angry with Shah Rukh hence she got another son!

Kajol..."My favorite man's real wife"
I am sure that I was never the only idiot kid who thought that Kajol and Shah Rukh were actually in love with each other or were married. My illusion broke in 2001 when I got to know that there is a lady named Gauri who is the actual wife/love of Shah Rukh. I'd see him with Kajol in like so many movies (yes repeated telecasts were each a different movie) because I never watched a full movie until many years later! Heck, I watched Baazigar full the first time in 2004 only.

Aishwarya Rai..."The girl who never got to be together with Shah Rukh"
Mohabbatein, she's a freaking ghost lover of Shah Rukh. Devdas, married off to someone who's nearly her father's age. Shakti the Power, love is a rascal so no dream union either. Hum Tumhare Hai Sanaam, besides a scene, she played a blind character and the irony of her role was that she loved Salman Khan. Josh, well this is it, they couldn't be lovers so Happy Rakshabandhan to each other. Need I say more?

Rani Mukherji..."Completing corner of the love triangle"
The best SRK-Rani movies were love triangles like K3G, KKHH, KANK, and Paheli in my opinion. After starring in movies where she's been the loser, she started playing the center of the triangle role in Paheli and KANK! Chalte Chalte was off the track sort of movie which had a shadow of a love triangle.

Arjun Rampal..."Shah Rukh's dushman of all time"
OSO, KANK, and Ra.One? It's always Arjun vs Shah Rukh! Shah Rukh leads the war as the score is 2-1. Although I doubt Dev even bothered about Jai in KANK. Either they are fighting for love or a kid. Well love comes in all forms, eh?

Preity Zinta..."Shah Rukh's favorite lady to ditch"
In Dil Se, Shah Rukh ditched her and went to die with another lady. In KHNH, Shah Rukh was nice enough to leave her with her best friend then die unlike Dil Se. In Veer Zaara, they finally unite...but 22 years after they fell in love. In KANK, Shah Rukh just turned really mean and ditched her and his kid as well! So unfortunate although I love to see them together.

Deepak Tijori..."The back then Arjun Rampal"
He was the ultimate kabab's unwanted haadi. In Anjaam, Shah Rukh got so tired of him that he just killed him. In KHKN, he was nice enough to let go of his love Aana for his rich yet dumb friend played by Deepak.

Amitabh Bachchan..."Secret Enemy"
In Mohabbatein, all throughout the movie, Raj and Narayan Shankar fight a love-hatred war where Raj triumphs! In Paheli, he's the one who gets the human Kishan to win, making the ghost lose by blackmailing. In KANK, well doh, he's Rishi's father but advices Maya at the end to leave Rishi and indirectly tells her to go to Dev. In Bhootnath, Shah Rukh touches upon Bhootnath's main reason of anger, Bhootnath's son! In K3G, Amitabh ji just throws Rahul out for 10 years but still there is union.

Well, that's all I got to say. I don't thank you for reading, not even sorry about it! :P

The SRK Day

Today Shah Rukh completes 20 years in the Hindi Film Industry. 20 years of success, hard work, fame, love, hatred, bitterness, criticism, sweat, blood, tears, hugs, salaams, concerts, movies, songs, scenes, shows, laughter, bloopers, ups, downs, humiliation, awkwardness, controversies and so much more.

He was never keen to do movies. But still he went ahead and did movies so he could financially support his family. By the time he debuted, he became an orphan. Later, he married Gauri. He didn't have anything but the confidence to own the city of Mumbai. Today he rules the world. Shah Rukh slipped into our hearts and eyes to become a vital part of our daily lives.

He starred in many blockbusters of Bollywood. Shah Rukh is basically the engine of a vehicle called Bollywood. Without him, the vehicle will never run the same. He gracefully took the baton from Amitabh Bachchan and has been conquering the world over with each and every new release of his.

Shah Rukh is an schizophrenic kind of a man. He competes with himself. No need to give a damn to anyone the media tags as a threat to Shah Rukh's title of King Khan. Basically, he has enough experience in movies to  kick anyone's tush.

Anyway, I wish Shah Rukh all the very best for the upcoming decade....I take one decade at a time. He has my unlimited and unconditional love and prayers forever. My relationship with him is at a point where I consider him my own...not like before. Before, now I feel I kinda took him as a poster figure and loved him that way. But the kind of love I have for him now is like, more realistic? Cannot comment. But it's a whole new sort of feeling which I do not like to speak about to anyone.

And on this occasion, may I remind you all that I will also turn 20 and this blog will be celebrating its 1st anniversary early next month? It's pure celebration time...for me :P

Have a awesome SRK day! Pray for him every time you bow down to Allah, every time you light a diya in front of Bhagwan, every time you light a candle in front of God, just pray for him. And love him always and forever.

Clash of Opinions Take Two

Here we go again! There is hullabaloo going on again in the SRK fandom!  This time, it's for the new project partly confirmed by Shah Rukh himself, Happy New Year by Farah Khan. Most of you must have gone, "Yay! Another SRK movie", "Awesome! OSO and MHN were great masala movies and were such BIG HITS" or "WTF? The other day they fought, today a movie?"

My reaction was similar to the third one while being split between the first two at the beginning. I get excited for all new SRK movies and considering the fact that OSO and MHN were superb movies, I'd have gotten very excited but then I reminisced the slapgate of Janurary 31st, 2012. Fabulous time! Shah Rukh had slapped Shirish Kundar, Farah's husband. After that, Farah said quite a bit of crap about Shah Rukh which totally removed the little remaining adoration I had for Farah. After that, I am not even ashamed to say but I hate Farah and her guts.

Somebody had guessed that the media would create news of Shah Rukh and Farah doing a movie after they patch up. I laughed it off saying Shah Rukh wouldn't do her movie since he may forgive people but he doesn't forget. But rumors started coming in of Shah Rukh "immediately agreeing" to do Happy New Year, a movie he denied for years. Even then I did not believe it. Later news came in that Shah Rukh is busy with other projects so HNY will have to be on the hold for a few years. I was soooooooooo happy that the media would finally shut up!!

A few days back, came the word straight from the horse's mouth, a.k.a Shah Rukh himself confirmed that he will be doing HNY but no one else is confirmed for other roles. My faith is shaken up quite a bit. Most people are giving examples of OSO and MHN to me, saying they were hits and I don't have to worry if HNY goes on to become similar. I have been least concerned about Farah's last movie, TMK. What I hate is that why did Shah Rukh agree to do a film with the lady who humiliated him so much? I will let go of Shirish too because he's not part of HNY (I hope). This is a question of self respect. I never thought in my whole life that I would go against a project of Shah Rukh's. But the fact is if I am not happy with something, I cannot at all be happy about it.

Imagine if Shah Rukh and Salman patched up and they agreed to do a movie together. Would you support it? I understand that SRK-Farah and SRK-Salman are two cases poles apart but the fact is that both Farah and Salman are the volunteered victims of my hatred. They hurt Shah Rukh which means they hurt me as well.

But I am still positive that Happy New Year won't happen. If I let superstitions kick in then see? It has been in writing mode for so long and the movie was supposed to happen before Om Shanti Om but problems. I hope without any damage to Shah Rukh's bank account, the movie still gets delayed or does not happen at all. I have never missed a Shah Rukh Khan movie and it will hurt me a lot emotionally to miss out on any of his releases. I can wait months/years for his movies but if Happy New Year is made, I cannot watch it.

The rest is up to you. If you would still like to celebrate HNY with Farah and Shah Rukh, I respect your decision but I thought I'd write this in order to present the idea why selected few are against HNY.

The top 10 SRK Performances

A long time back, I had wrote a post on how people considered Don 2 performance of Shah Rukh's, best after Chak! De India performance. Then I was supposed to reveal my list of top 10 SRK performances. Well here we are.

Arun of One 2 ka 4
Shah Rukh as a police officer without the police uniform! Anyway, performance wise Arun holds a rank number on my list because he is a bit of an angry idiot. Ready to encounter anyone and not caring about the possible consequences of losing his job. Later in the movie, he sheds his careless hot tempered image to become a more responsible and caring Arun. It is one of those performances of Shah Rukh which looks like a pile of shit at the beginning then Shah Rukh builds a neat character by the end of the 3 hours.

Don/Vijay of Don/Don 2
Time for a role reversal. Shah Rukh as Don in both part 1 and 2. Don is really an amazing guy. Honestly, Don wasn't present much in part 1 which was mainly about Vijay. But if you watched it carefully then you would be able to see Don in Vijay. But Don 2 was purely about Don himself. He truly is a grand criminal who made other kinds of robberies look petty in front of what he did! And performance wise, Don is WOW. Such performances makes you want to applaud Shah Rukh's versatility.The anger, wittiness, deceiving ability, unmatched shrewdness...words fall short to describe what a genius role it is and the way Shah Rukh pulled it off.

Dev of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
This performance of Shah Rukh's was truly unexpected and really great. Dev was an angry and frustrated guy with a rude sense of humor. Then he falls in love but he still holds on to his characteristics of what he was before. This was a new kind of "romantic" role Shah Rukh played. Every character he portrayed before KANK, he is shown to be sweet, wicked, evil, careless, etc. But later he sort of lets go of those personality traits. In KANK, it was different, he held onto his negative traits. How I see the role of Dev is it's a mixture of a protagonist and an antagonist. Of course it was out of Shah Rukh's comfort zone but I view Dev as the ticket to Kabir, G.One, Rizwan, etc.

Rizwan of My Name Is Khan
How can I not have Rizwan in my top 10? Like how? It's impossible. Anyway, as I have said before, that I find Rizwan's character very special. The simple man with beyond simple beliefs that are too naive for the twisted world we live in. Shah Rukh as Rizwan was really outstanding. He worked hard to step in Rizwan's shoes. It was a physical challenge for Shah Rukh rather than morally challenging. But he pulled off Rizwan extremely well. An actor who is able to make the audience copy his emotions and reactions in real time, had to get the audience to really feel for Rizwan because Rizwan was limited when it came to expressions. But this time, we got along with Rizwan perhaps more than we did with the poster boys Rahul and Raj of their respective films...who are really just fantasies. Rizwan made us remember the basics of life which are buried in our everyday affairs.


Four performances are enough for a lazy Sunday! I will reveal the rest and the numbers some other day. Take care people, have a good day.

A Dilemma

Love. Shah Rukh Khan. That is it. Shah Rukh Khan somehow equals to love. For fans, that is how it is. Fans after all only love and respect SRK. They never criticize him. They applaud him. But then there are some fans who dare to criticize him. Then they get tagged as Shah Rukh Khan haters. But are they really hating SRK? Let's think...

Majority of SRK critical fans want him to do roles that are eccentric. He needs to get rid of the trademark mannerisms. Stop working with Karan Johar and such directors. They sound concerned about Shah Rukh's #1 spot. Other fans who make up the majority say no, he is still #1, they'll watch all movies SRK makes, no matter how they are. Now, are we sure that if Shah Rukh continues to romance girls half his age will continue to make him #1? Then what's the difference between him and Salman? Salman also does commercial movies, he never even attempted to do anything different. But I agree, Shah Rukh did attempt different roles. But it is just not enough I guess. I mention his age because age is definitely a factor when it comes to the film line. Especially in India. Somehow, toward male actors, audience are lenient than towards female actors aged beyond 30. Shah Rukh, Aamir, Salman, Sanjay, etc. are lucky that the audience still watches their movies. Had they been females, they would have retired ages back.

Anyway, coming back to critical fans, I will agree that Shah Rukh should work with more different directors. We need him in more critical-ac-claimable movies like Chak De! India and My Name Is Khan. He has to step aside from the commercial aspect of entertainment. Directors have to push him out of his comfort zone. However, I don't agree with him not working with Karan Johar because I believe Karan is the first director who pushed the envelope with Shah Rukh in My Name Is Khan and in some sense, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna as well. I can expect another MNIK caliber movie from Karan with Shah Rukh as the main lead. Karan is one director who goes to the next level always with each and every one of his movies that he directs.

Shah Rukh is at an age when we, the fans, will applaud him for starring in a movie with a leading lady half his age but others won't. And it is a fact that we fans are outnumbered by the "others". If we want SRK to get more fans in the upcoming time period, it is in his best interest to star in movies that not only sets a different trend but also pleases a minority or majority. He tried to please a majority with Ra.One but failed to do so because he, himself focused on wrapping the movie in a never before seen coating and left the inside to his team who failed him. Yes, now I have to say it that Ra.One lacked in terms of scripting and other ways. But technically it was a perfect movie, thanks to its world class VFX. It had a too simple script which seemed more dependent on proverbs and quotes rather than original dialogues.

Shah Rukh has to go back to his roots, as the actor who proved to the world that yes, the main lead of a film can be an anti-hero too. I am not saying he should do more anti-hero roles which is not bad either, considering how much people liked him in his last release, Don 2. But what I am saying is he needs to do different roles. Of course he does a variety of roles, none of his past roles are the same but the tag is the same, "Romantic Hero". He has to get rid of that tag. I want him to get the tag of a "Versatile Hero". He has to do more Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (has a loose romantic track), Swades (same), Chak De! India (no romantic track at all), One 2 Ka 4 (again a loose romantic track). Money is not everything now. As his own dialogue goes, "Kabhi kabhi kuch jeetne ke liya kuch haar na parta hai aur haar ke jeetne wale ko baazigar kehte hain." We need our Baazigar Khan back! Swades and Dil Se were examples of how Shah Rukh was a baazigar, they bombed at the box office in India but won hearts instead.

I know, I contradicted myself. But I cannot ignore the fact that I cannot be selfish and take away from Shah Rukh's potentiality by never ever suggesting him to do this and that or criticizing him. Over the past few weeks, I have come to understood that truly, critics are one's biggest lovers. A person who tells you about your flaws is not your hater but he/she just wants you to do better. Bigger is not always better. I am sure Shah Rukh knows that and I don't have to tell him that.

At the end of the day, it is not me, who Shah Rukh will listen to, he will continue doing what he wants to. He hates criticism that are given in bad tone but I am not using a bad tone nor do I intend to. I, being one of his neutral fans, want him to do better and yet want him to do movies which give him pleasure. He has to balance between pleasure and differentiability, meaning he has to find fun and excitement beyond his comfort zone.

Red Chillies Entertainment - Truly Entertaining...

Red Chillies Entertainment is Shah Rukh's home production. To stay safe, Gauri signs the checks for all kinds of payments. Earlier Shah Rukh had a production called Dreamz Unlimited.

From Dreamz Unlimited, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Asoka and Chalte Chalte were produced.

From Red Chillies Entertainment, lots! :D

Although the company (RCE) has been around for long, I must say...they need to improve more. It's one company that requires more professional and helpful people. I know I sound a bit rude perhaps but RCE has a bunch of brainless idiotic employees. I speak from experience with them.

I won't get into details about my experience. But I did have a little interaction with them last year. They are just pitiful. Of course the issue I had called up about didn't get solved, I think they didn't understand what I wanted in the first place, although I spoke English and not my terrible Hindi. I was mad at them but later I laughed so much at them. It was rather hilarious.

They not only produce fun movies but also have a fun staff...bade mazaaki hai ji (they are very joking people). On a serious note, here's a open request for RCE to hire me and some of my friends! Here's my resume:

 I am not Indian, nor am I even my original country's citizen, all I know is that I will work hard, will never beg to meet SRK, I won't even take salary if I am given to live in Mannat...no, that's too much. I mean, I will even work for Rs. 20,000 a month and do everything in my capacity to make RCE one of the best film productions in India by all means. And I promise not to act like a typical fan-girl in front of my boss(es).

Look, many people grew up using say...Colgate and love that toothpaste a lot. Then they get a job at Colgate, you can expect me to behave the same if you hire me. I grew up seeing and loving SRK but that doesn't mean I'll faint in front of him, ask him to show me his six-pack abs or any other hideous act. I will work diligently. Because I care for the corporation of Red Chillies Entertainment.

Skills? I can write, I am creative, (read my blog, website(s), twitter) lead, work with well-mannered people. I can cook too...in case RCE has parties. I love organizing stuff, from files to parties. I can even act. I can do everything when it comes RCE because I love this company like my baby and I can become anything for it.

Experience? None, except for a volunteering thing I did. Have personal experiences of money-handling and handling external affairs. I have the experience of being an SRK fan for 20 years now. I learned from Shah Rukh's success and applied them to my life. Same with his failures.

Now RCE people: HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME you whores and bastards of bitches!

His Name Is Shah Rukh Khan..

Shah Rukh Khan. The name that automatically raises eyebrows. But it does so much more to me...let me take you on a short tour about this name and my problems with it.

A couple of years back, I was at a shop. I was just browsing stuff when somebody behind me called out "Shah Rukh!"..."WHERE?! WHAT?!", going in my head. Then I turned around...saw a little boy. Then when I got home, I was cursing his mom, why on earth did she choose THIS name? Because I truly believe, there is only ONE Shah Rukh which is the one we all adore. I wish Shah Rukh would copyright his name...

Whenever somebody mentions his name behind me or in front of me, I swear, my heart races at a speed of 5,000 kilometers per hour or something. Online, it's different because I mainly interact with fellow SRK fans. Face to face, you will never hear me say "Shah Rukh". I am THAT shy when it comes to him. I address him as "King" at home. That is so much better and makes me feel good and helps address what I want to say about him since my family knows. Otherwise if I talk with people who don't know about this problem of mine then I will just refer to Shah Rukh as "Him". No SRK, no Shah, no Shah Rukh.

But then there comes certain instances when I have no choice but to utter his name. For example..well ONLY example is when I'm at a video shop or calling up a video/music shop. Will give example of his last two releases. I called up about a dozen shops, all around Sacramento area asking if they got Ra.One/Don 2 music CD. Unfortunately, as much knowledge as I keep about Bollywood, shopkeepers don't...well how would they? If they are so busy in selling things from 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM on average? As for me, I have nothing to do all day long, have no life besides researching SRK. That was sarcastic by the way. Anyway, take Ra.One, there is Raavan too since the pronunciation is 99.9% the same. So pretty often it would get mixed up and...I'd have to yell out IT'S A SHAH RUKH KHAN'S MOVIE!!!! Then Don 2, actually no shopkeeper had any idea about Don 2. Not to sound like I am bragging, but I had to instill some knowledge in them about Don 2. You are most welcome to conclude that I live in an area of dead brains.

Another example is when talking to relatives. Fact is many of my relatives are rather jealous of Shah Rukh. One said he's old, another is a Aamir Khan fan (of course SRK is BAAADDD), many find watching Bollywood movies very down market. Phew. Nice relatives I got there, right? Thankfully my family are hardcore fans of SRK! Anyway, coming back to talking about SRK with relatives, I have dodged every possible scenario of uttering Mr. Khan's name. I got lucky ji.

So these are my experiences of Shah Rukh Khan. I like how I manipulate people when discussing SRK by rarely or never having to utter his name because I am shy, I am shy, I am shy and I am bloody damn shy.

Well, you all have a good day ahead, thank you for taking time to read my posts and this is not the end of my blog...lots more to come, if my heart supports my brain to convert feelings into words.

The Favorite Scenes (Emotional)

Yeah I know it's not March yet and I'm writing again. Well what to do? I'm moody!

This post is about some of my favorite scenes from Shah Rukh's movies that are rather emotional.

Scene 1: From My Name Is Khan, Mandira's proposal on the hill.
When Rizwan bets with Mandira that he'd find one place in San Francisco which Mandira has never seen and if he succeeds, Mandira would have to marry him. After a lot of hard work and numerous tries, Rizwan finds the most beautiful place which Mandira has never seen. Earlier we saw that Rizwan would keep asking Mandira to marry him and after seeing that beautiful place, an compelled and surprised Mandira, proposes herself to Rizwan. Rizwan blushes and giggles. Hehe, why I like this scene so much is because of Rizwan's giggle. Well, that's not the full reason. The whole part of the movie actually taught me that when you love something/someone, it's not easy to get it/him/her. You have to work hard. It's not about impressing the person you love. Rizwan didn't find that place in order to impress Mandira but to win her heart and make her his forever.

Scene 2: From Om Shanti Om, Om Kapoor tells Sandy his story.
After Sandy fails to flawlessly become Shanti, Om gets mad at her and yells at her. Then Pappu advices him to stop getting angry and tell her the whole reason as to why he wants her to become like Shanti. Om tells Sandy the story and adds that nobody would believe in this unbelievable tale of his. Sandy argues that she does believe him. She believes in everything Om does, even if it's onscreen. I like this scene because of the trust Sandy shows in Om. Then it got me thinking about my trust on Shah Rukh. When I watch his movies, I actually believe in the characters he portrays and every action he enacts. One reason I like Shah Rukh as an actor is because he makes the story believable to some extent.

Scene 3: From Veer Zaara, Veer and Zaara meet for the last time before 22 years.
After Zaara's mother tells Veer about the consequences if Zaara doesn't marry Raza, Veer immediately agrees to leave Pakistan and promises to talk with Zaara. When they meet, Veer and Zaara talk about the few moments they spent together. Then to lighten up the moment, Veer jokes with her about how she will be like in the future after having lots of children. They hug and cry, brave up to get separated. I love this scene a lot, it makes me cry to watch it actually. Veer and Zaara didn't know each other for too long yet the love portrayed in this scene makes me feel they have known each other since eons. The portrayal of pain, I could feel it. And I have no experience in love whatsoever.

Scene 4: From Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Taani gets to know the truth of Suri and Raj.
On stage during the last performance, Suri sheds Raj's look and appears as himself to perform with Taani. Taani, shocked, manages to perform with Suri. While dancing with Suri, Taani remembers few of the moments she spent with Raj and Suri. After the performance is over, Suri expects an angry Taani to question him but instead he finds a teary-eyed Taani asking him how could he love her so much when she never reciprocated his love. The reason why I like this scene is because. Yeah, I just like it. Taani's misconception of love meaning giving-and-taking is broken. I LIKE IT. I for one never believed and will never believe that there is something called give love/receive love. That's called selfishness and not love. People say that no point in loving someone who doesn't love you. But if you feel good loving that "non-lover" then why not?

These four scenes are some of the emotional scenes I love and perhaps can watch again and again. I could write about the other scenes too but at the moment, I feel lazy. Another thing I realized about while writing this post is that I have hardly been watching Shah Rukh's older movies. Shall do, when I get more time.

Take care & love to all!

Are my readers alive?


Whoa! It's been a month since my last post, I hope my readers are still alive. I'm sorry but I definitely did not disappear, I got lazy. Anyway, I really don't have any organized topic of SRK to talk about. Read the shit I feed you now and be satisfied my...dear...beautiful readers.

He's been hosting award functions and performing as well. Only award function that did not get Shahrukhified, the reputable (definitely pun intended) Stardust Awards 2012. Anyway, this award season is on a spring break till IIFA in summer I think (as usual no?). This year, I didn't really pay attention to awards in general, just knowing SRK is either hosting or performing was enough to gain my attention.

I have been pretty busy building my SRK photo albums to be honest. Doing it for months but I still can't get enough of the man. After going through nearly 5,000+ photos, I have miserably failed to come up with top 10 favorites. All I can say is that, if Shah Rukh's Grandma had said, each time camera flashes on our face, 5 mins of our lives are gone then I must say, I don't know if it's true as it's said to be but one thing is sure, the fruit of every time a camera flashes on Shah Rukh is a treat for his fans.

In the past few weeks, a lot of things happened. Ra.One released in Taiwan, MNIK in Hong Kong and Don 2 releasing in Germany next week. A thought had struck my mind and about which I tweeted as well. I believe apart from all other actors in Bollywood, only Shah Rukh's movies are worth going for a second phase of release worldwide. In spite of piracy being so viral all around the world, distributors of Shah Rukh's movies believe that it will make money for sure, no matter when it releases. I do have to admit, the cocoon experience of SRK is highly special and best. Distributors are the actual people who know the value of SRK more than any of us do. No matter what trade analysts a.k.a. chameleons say, but SRK is the man of Bollywood.

Then this past Friday, the iconic movie, DDLJ, completed its 850 weeks run in theater. This is one movie which is not valuable by only money but by emotions as well. I have my own share of DDLJ memories but I might as well skip it for now. Also, MNIK's 2nd year anniversary on 12th Feb. In my opinion, MNIK is beyond criticism or just plain words because it is a global masterpiece made in India.

We also had the IPL auction. Our team bought 3 players. I never actually judge the players because I have had 4 seasons of experience, even the biggest names have disappointed me and earned my beautiful words. So whenever it comes to KKR, my motto is waiting and trying to watch. Sometimes even the words of abuses fall short to describe KKR's performance. Like always, I hope I have to use less abuses. KKR, earn my trust, you have my love and support already but try and earn my trust.

Oh yeah! The epic slapgate! How can I forget that? Well I actually did. Conclusion? I still hate Farah and Shirish Khan.

Well that's all from me ON THIS BLOG. My rambling shall continue till my or twitter's last breath!

Hum hain rahi Shah Rukh ke, phir milenge, agle maheene....!

Untitled Ranting

Hello folks, hope 2012 has been treating you fairly well so far. As for me, 2012 so far has been great and emotional. I think for Shah Rukh, it's been the same too....he just started shooting for his upcoming film with Yash Chopra and won some deserving awards which are great but he's been quite emotional...well since last year which has been showing on his face.

It is not a top secret as to why he'd feel emotional. Well I won't get into that but I will speak about some recent things. I have been reading, seeing, listening, sensing, a lot of Shah Rukh Khan the past few weeks. In fact, daily. I never spent so much time behind SRK. Anyway, I have gone back in time and came back to the present. I lived my childhood with him now living my ongoing adulthood with him. He has matured a lot and so have I.

Before you jump into conclusions, let me clear it. I am talking about his time in the profession of acting and my time in the profession of acting like a human. If the film industry is a playhouse to Shah Rukh then this world is a Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) cage for me. We both get hurt, fight, win, lose, etc. But at the end of the day, we both are still alive and going on.

The biggest common thing we have in each other is what I just said above. It's hard to breathe in both professions when everyone around you are so much messed up and selfish. But toying around whatever we come face to face with has been our formula of staying alive and moving on in life. Since the whole world runs on the theory of survival of the fittest, Shah Rukh's industry is no different. In fact, the theory is much more louder and apparent in his industry than any other. Each and every hour, somebody somewhere says that Shah Rukh has lost his #1 place in the industry. His so-called rival, both personal and professional, has taken the #1 spot. When Shah Rukh came in the industry, numbers came with him. Thanks to him, something called box office records was introduced in the film industry. He continued to crush his own records throughout his career so the media did not give a damn. Now other actors have FINALLY understood the game at box office, media and fans are now concerned about SRK losing his spot.

Yes, this is the world we live in. A person adopts a hoard of boys and girls of all ages who were a MESS and becomes their father. He teaches them the ABCD of survival in the industry and the whole fucking world. Then the caretakers (media) of those boys and girls are concerned about the father's fatherhood because two or three of those boys are spotted trying to act like grown up men just like their father. OMG!!! There are too many boys who are trying to act like someone who they are not!

To them, I would like to say one thing, actually many. Firstly, Shah Rukh paved the road on which you are walking. It would have been a bumpy ride for you in the industry, be thankful for SRK. Secondly, learn to respect him rather taking a indirect or direct dig at Shah Rukh. Whether you are younger or older than him, have some respect for the man. Thirdly, if you are Aamir or Salman, "Khan", stop keeping track of your baap's movie box office figures. If you need to keep track of something then it's your bloody fucking BUSINESS. Whether it's going to the store room to check on how many bottles of booze you have left or finding another surrogate mother for another child...just mind your own shit. Lastly, if any of you think that the industry is high school or something and think that starting gossips and rumors will destroy Shah Rukh's image and position...I will say one thing, GROW THE FUCK UP!

OK, I am done ranting and comparing my life with Shah Rukh's. I have nothing else to say. Said enough for today. May Allah grant us all wisdom and strength to Shah Rukh.

Adios!
