On board bonding

If being confined to a small space, mid-air, in no-man's territory, can't make rivals patch-up, then nothing else will.  Ironically, it only took the estimated seven hour journey from Toronto to London to restore Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol's friendship that fizzled out 16 years ago.

The two stars were travelling together, on the same flight from Toronto to London, after attending a recent award function. Incidentally, both had planned a holiday in London. Their male bonding, reportedly, began at Toronto airport and just kept getting stronger while on-board.


An eyewitness told us, "Shah Rukh and Sunny even made a conscious effort to sit together on the flight. They were constantly seen chatting, sharing a lot of information about their work and families. By the time the aircraft landed, it was as if they never had a problem.

Everybody who knew them on the flight was pretty astonished because Shah Rukh and Sunny are both headstrong individuals, who don't forget and forgive easily."


This is a stark change from their attempted patch-up, two years ago, when director Subhash Ghai instructed them to shake hands (Mumbai Mirror, October 26, 2009). Reportedly, the tensions between Shah Rukh and Sunny began, 16 years ago, while they worked on the YRF production Darr (1993). Sunny played Juhi Chawla's husband and Shah Rukh essayed the role of the actress's obsessive stalker.


Sunny felt that his role was overshadowed by Shah Rukh and ever since then, the two actors have never seen eye-to-eye.  This issue then set the precedent for future filmmakers, who never cast SRK and Sunny in lead roles together.


A source explained, "Ghai had made them shake hands at a party two years ago but at that time, they still hadn't warmed up to each other. They only conversed with each other in the presence of Prasoon Joshi."


The eyewitness added, "Bobby Deol also joined them on the flight. Shah Rukh was very comfortable with Bobby as well. Now, it is clear that all is well between Shah Rukh and Sunny."

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
