Why Sasha was shushed, leaving SRK to walk the talk

Thanks to his novel ideas and witty one-liners, Shah Rukh Khan has ended up hogging the limelight while hosting many award functions.



But at a recent one, King Khan did all the talking while co-host Shahid Kapoor played more of a mute spectator. No, SRK did not steal Sasha's lines. The fact is that Shahid did not rehearse for his act at all. This apparently upset SRK so much that he ended up completely taking over on stage.


Our source said, "Shahid did not come the previous night for the grand rehearsal and SRK was the only one to do it. Even on Thursday, the day of the show, Shahid only arrived a couple of hours before the show was to start.

This left the organisers with very little time. SRK, who was present throughout all the rehearsals, was extremely upset with Shahid's behaviour and thought that he was being overconfident.

That's why SRK took over the show and everyone present at the awards night was surprised to see Shahid hardly speaking. Shahid inaugurated the show and was followed by Anushka and Ranveer. Post that SRK and Shahid were on the stage for about an hour. In that entire hour, SRK must have done the talking for about 45 minutes while leaving the rest for Shahid. It was very evident that something had gone wrong between the two."

Standing up for Shahid however, another source said, "Shahid wanted to come for the grand rehearsals but he missed his flight from Chandigarh because of bad weather. So, he drove in the fog to Delhi, despite the unit members telling him not to, before taking a flight from there.

When Shahid reached for the rehearsals the night before, SRK had already left, as it was very late. SRK came earlier the next day in order to rehearse with Shahid but on that day Shahid had to work on his individual act, so he hardly had any time for his combined act with SRK.

However, SRK called him to his van and was very sweet to him. He told Shahid to work on his individual act and that he will take care of their combined act, which is what happened."

Whatever the case, a word with Shah Rukh may be a good idea Sasha, and this time you better rehearse well.

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
