The Pappu and Pappa series of films features superstar dad Shah Rukh Khan educating his son on oral hygiene

Hindustan Unilever's leading oral care brand Pepsodent is back with a vengeance against germs with the second season of their immensely successful campaign with "Pappu & Pappa (P&P)". The campaign has Bollywood superstar and doting father Shah Rukh Khan playing the cool Pappa to his son Pappu (played by child actor Jo), bringing forth the benefits of brushing with the new improved product" Pepsodent Germicheck + magnets".

Pappu & Pappa – II takes Pepsodent's philosophy of making brushing — an otherwise mundane task — into an interesting fun activity further by building the importance of oral hygiene, which is at times neglected by parents. The TV campaign narrates interesting short stories between Pappa who uses humour and storytelling to educate Pappu on the importance of brushing every day. Shah Rukh says, "I like the whole ideology behind the Pepsodent campaign and good parenting. The whole concept of working with Pepsodent and little children is something I would do at home, I enjoy it. It really makes me feel as though I am with my son in my own bathroom. As a matter of fact I've been telling the team that next time no need to book the studios, we should just do it in my bathroom with my son."

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
