SRK arrives at Eden after "no show" tweet

Shahrukh Khan on Sunday arrived at Eden Gardens with his wife after he said he might skip Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)' s match with Bangalore Royal Challengers and watch it on TV in his hotel room here if all seatings were not done.


KKR is facing Bangalore Royal Challengers at Eden Gardens on Sunday amid controversy over seating arrangements and a special hospitality enclosure for which tickets were sold at premium but later the authorities certified it as unfit.

"Will watch it in the stadium if all our seatings etc are done.

Otherwise with the family at the hotel," the King Khan, who owns KKR, tweeted during the day.

The KKR plans of setting up a super hospitality enclosure at Eden Gardens ran into trouble after state fire services refused to grant fit certificate but later permission was given to KKR with conditions
by Kolkata's police commissioner.

Reports said tickets were sold for the seats at Rs 32,000 each.

The actor also tweeted on the spirits of the team.

"Team in the pool...gearing up for the match. Looking cheerful and happy. Good sign. Kids also in the pool looking cheerful...best sign," he posted on Twitter.

Juhi Chawla, another owner of KKR, is also in town.

Two former Indian cricket captains, Saurav Ganguly and Anil Kumble are clashing at the Eden Gardens here on Sunday in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match.

KKR won the toss and decided to field.

While Ganguly-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is upbeat with a win against Deccan Chargers in their last match, the Bangalore Royal
Challengers has the likes of Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis, apart from Kumble and there is no scope for taking them lightly.

In the IPL 2, the Bangalore team had reached the finals, but lost to Deccan Charges.

KKR ended at the bottom of the table.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." 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

'Every Damn Time,' Tweets Shah Rukh Khan, Detained At US Airport

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. American officials tell NDTV that during immigration checks, what pops up is a name without any other detail to help draw a distinction. In April 2012, Mr Khan was held back for over two hours at the airport in New York on a visit to address students at Yale University. He had joked later at Yale: "Whenever I start fee
