"My dream (to meet SRK) came true so why not yours"

"If it's your dream to meet SHAH RUKH KHAN, just believe in it," says 20 year old Athar Sedki, a Shahrukh Khan fan from Belgium who recently met SRK while he was shooting for Farhan Akhtar's 'Don 2' in Berlin. And that too on Khan's birthday. "We love him as an actor, but also as a father, husband and person, he's an example," Athar adds. I've known Athar through twitter @atharluvsrk for quite some time. In fact she's very regular in tweeting to me and her innocent vivaciousness is infectious and very charming. In the first of a kind attempt I decided to interview Athar about the experience of meeting her idol. I believe we can do this more often with other fans as well. Hope you enjoy this post.
