Shahrukh Khan: Interesting Tale of the Taxi RideShahrukh Khan: Interesting Tale of the Taxi Ride


Don 2 actor Shahrukh Khan has got a fan following that can be traced to every part of the globe and Berlin, certainly, is no different. In fact, every night when SRK returns to his hotel he finds a plethora of fans waiting outside for the King.

And SRK humbly acknowledges their presence and signs autographs for them. At times, he even sends out some refreshments for those waiting for hours. SRK is big in Germany and one interesting story revolves around a taxi ride.

After the day's shooting wrapped up for Don 2, SRK and the crew indulged in some football-playing in a nearby ground. It went on till the wee hours of the morning after which SRK decided to have some coffee. Instead of opting for the car, he decided to hail a cab.

However, the cab driver was quick to spot his passenger and refused to accept payment from him. Even though Shahrukh insisted, the driver only asked for his pic since his daughter was a die-hard fan of the Indian actor.

SRK obliged and the driver's daughter must be a happy child by now. Interestingly, actor Orlando Bloom, who was stationed at the same hotel, got pissed off by the surge of paparazzi thinking they had queued up for him. However, he was taken aback when he was told that the mob had assembled for Shahrukh Khan and not for him. After all, '11 mulkon ki police Don ko dhoondh rahi hai'.

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
