So gear up to see King Khan in a never-seen-before-avatar! The ad that will hit screens across the country will have Shah Rukh dressed as an adorable old man trying to rekindle romance with his aged wife as he dances to 'Aakhon Mein Teri'.

Talking about the ad, Shah Rukh told Spicezee, "When I was getting my make up done there was a phase where I had to go bald. I clicked my snap and send it to Gauri asking her if she would love me if I looked this way as I aged. She replied that 'I don't love you now how do you think I will love you then'."

The new ad, that will launch the new look of 'Dish TV Ghar Aayi Zindagi' has been directed by acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Basu and conceptualized by ad guru Prasoon Joshi.

Set to create waves, Shah Rukh is excited about his new look. "I hope the audience like this ad. I was very pleased when Prasoon and Anurag had come up with this unique idea. Though they had come with a huge speech prepared to convince me, I accepted immediately", added SRK.

Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec

Movie star Shah Rukh Khan, detained at an airport in the US for questioning again, tweeted on Thursday: "Every damn time!" The 50-year-old actor was detained at the Los Angeles airport this time. A man with the same name is on a US no-fly list of 80,000 people. He took to Twitter to voice his exasperation. I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks. @iamsrk  The brighter side is while waiting caught some really nice Pokemons. @iamsrk  Mr Khan, one of the most successful stars in the Hindi film industry, has been held back at US airports thrice in seven years.
