"Dedicate My Life Entertaining People": Shahrukh Khan

It finally happened after a long wait but it was worth it nevertheless. Did a short one on one interview with Shahrukh Khan at the Go Jiyo event today in Bombay. He is happy with the response to Ra.one so far. There are chances of a sequel which may be called G.one but no confirmation yet. Khan says that his team has explored the technology abd they'll see how it can be developed further.


"Dedicate My Life Entertaining People": Shahrukh Khan



At the Dubai premiere of Ra.one we saw a girl desperately trying to get close to Shahrukh to click a picture, she finally managed it, screamed and hugged him. I asked SRK how does it feel to get such love from fans all across the world. He said that he hopes to entertain people for a long time to come and values their love tremendously. Shahrukh's Bollywood Hungama exclusive interview will be live tonight. I really wished for a longer interview but maybe sometime soon for Don 2. SRK was very nice and the best part is that he is an attentive listener and doesn't take anything lightly.

At the press conference that followed Shahrukh disclosed that he'll be soon going to Poland and that he will be going for Marakesh Festival as well where a retrospective of a few of his films will be showcased. SRK confirmed that he will be at the inauguration ceremony of IFFI in Goa on November 23. Khan will also be shooting for a song for Don 2 for a couple of days shortly. There will be some activity of Don 2 in Dubai in December (he didn't spell out the exact details) in later part of December.

Post the SRK Go Jiyo press conference, I interviewed Puneet Issar who is writing directing and acting in 'I Am Singh'. I started off the interview by asking him about the infamous accident on the sets of Coolie where he accidentally hit Mr Bachchan. Issar recounted how Big B assured him that it was not his fault. Puneet spoke on being the Duryodhan of Mahabharat. He remembered directing Salman in Garv. He said that on the first day of its shoot, he was very nervous. The shoot had to start at 7 and he received a call from Salman at 4:30 am to cancel the shoot as the accident had taken place in American Bakery in Bandra. Talking about 'I Am Singh', Issar got emotional and said that the Sikh community has not been showed in a proper light in the film industry. He also doesn't approve of the Sikh portrayal (appearance wise) in Akshay Kumar's 'Singh Is King'. It is an interesting interview for sure.

Satisfying day. Hope you guys are doing well.

  4. Dear Faridoon .

    Aamir khan is the most manipulative and jealous freak i have ever seen in my life

    I always see bitterness , hatred and envy in his eyes for srk whenever he meets or hears about shah rukh khan

    I only hate Aamir as a person among all the bollywood actors

    Salman atleast dil ka toh saaf insaan hai

    May Allah bless you and SRK forever ...

  12. Thanks a lot, Faridoon. Interviews with SRK are always a pleasure to watch, even more so when you are doing it.

    I guess SRK is used to fan freak outs, but wow, that's a lot of determination for this tiny girl to get through all the bodyguards.

  14. I'm fine, but insanely busy, which is why I'm not commenting here as much as I'd like to. Thanks for asking. I hope all's fine with you, too!

    Oh, I hope a big interview with you and SRK will happen! One detail I love about him is that he almost never answers questions asked in English in Hindi (like Shahid is prone to do - lol). I know it doesn't matter to Indians whether it's in Hindi or English, but it's frustrating to us non Hindi speakers when we can't understand the answers - thankfully lovely Hindi speakers on Twitter are willing to translate :D So it's balm on my soul that Shah Rukh keeps his global fans in mind :)
