Shah Rukh dresses up for sleep Read more at: http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/shah-rukh-dresses-up-for-sleep/1/153210.html

Believe it or not, most of us would be dressing up to go out but for Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan dressing up is a must for bed.
In an exclusive interview to Mala Sekhri of Harper's Bazaar, he said he likes to wear clean clothes before turning in for the night. The actor, who has also caught the least possible shuteye with his production Ra.One close to release, says he likes to lavish cologne on himself before sleeping. Excerpts from the interview:

So what do you wear when you travel, when you're on a plane, on a long flight?
I wear jeans, my pair of jeans, my T-shirt, my shoes. I wear a jacket, I love jackets. I'm from Delhi so I still love jackets…The only clothes that I buy are jackets but I can't wear them in Mumbai because it's always so warm. So I wear a nice big jacket with a hood and stuff, I feel very cool wearing a hooded jacket. So when I land in London, I wear it on my head so I feel like a rap singer.

So confess, what do you wear to bed?
I'm really very spoilt, I like to dress up for bed. I like to wear clean, really nice pair of clothes, so, like my Dolce and Gabbana shorts, I will sometime or I will wear my Lulu lemon track pants and I'll wear a nice, crisp white T-shirt. Actually when I dress up for bed, I don't wear slippers, As soon as I wake up, I wear shoes. The first thing I do after a bath is I wear socks and shoes and the jeans. I quickly wear them and I take them off the last thing. So I never roam around barefoot and that's why I have athletes foot also I think. I never take my shoes off the whole day, just when I get into bed. But when I dress up at night, I wear cologne, very nice colognes, and everyone feels I am dressing up and going somewhere.

So you clearly have a view on clothes. Does Gauri (his wife) have a view on what you wear?
No, nobody has a view on what I wear because my clothes look the same so nobody tells me anything. Sometimes Karan, my friend, when he is doing a film and all, then he tells me, sometimes the girls who work with me, they will say Mr Khan that looks nice, but my clothes all look the same so I really don't have a view. Nobody has a view, if I ask if this is ok? They will say, "It's the same!! It's exactly the same what you wear, so why do you keep asking me?"

So what's your favourite accessory?
I don't know if I can call it an accessory, but it's my nasal drops that I carry. That's all and in terms of jewellery, I don't wear any. I have a nice taaveez. That's the only thing my wife gives me when I am walking out of the room. I've got this case of watches. So he (my helper) takes it out and he lays a bet because I pick up the same watch. He was joking with someone the other day, "Dekhna mein sahib se shart lagaunga ki woh wohi ghadi utthayenge (I'll have a bet with my boss that he will pick the same watch)." So I've got a kit of watches that he shows me when I am getting into my lift or into the car and I invariably pick up the same one as here. That's the one I always pick up. My Tag (Heuer) watch.

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...
