Shahrukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders on top

Shahrukh Khan's bold decision to acquire Gautam Gambhir at the phenomenal price tag of $2.4 million is paying big rewards. Half-way through the current season the Kolkata Knight Riders have announced themselves as worthy contenders to win it all.

For a team that has mostly finished at the bottom in past seasons of the IPL, the current KKR team has given Shahrukh lots to celebrate and cheer about. With Gautam providing stability at the helm, the team has won 5 of their 8 matches and now sits on top of the points table.

This is very different from past seasons, where nothing seemed to have worked for the KKR, there were a number of off-field controversies, poor decisions in coaching and Sourav's quarrels with Buchanan and Brendon McCullum.

Earlier in the season, SRK had declared that he will take off his shirt and show his abs if his teams makes it to the finals of the ongoing T20 tournament. Poonam Pandey may have chickened out of her promise to strip after India's world cup win, but Shahrukh Khan will surely stick by his word.

They may have not done it before by team KKR seem set to storm into the semi-finals.

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
