Shah Rukh Khan celebrates Sri Lankan fan's birthday

 
​​There's no doubt that Shah Rukh Khan has fans all over the world, but few may be as star-struck as 70-year-old Shirani Samarasekara. The Sri Lankan visited the city last week only to meet the actor on her birthday. "Before she flew in, she did all the necessary correspondence with SRK's team so that she could meet him," says a source close to the actor. 

Shah Rukh, too, was curious to meet the elderly lady, who took pains to come from another country just to meet him. The source says, "Shirani stayed at a hotel close to Shah Rukh's residence. He sneaked out of a media interaction session to meet her. They spent almost an hour chatting over coffee." http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/popup/2013/6/SRK-SriLankanfan.jpg

Apparently, the visit was a gift from Shirani's sons to mark her 70th birthday. "She's been a fan of Shah Rukh for the last 15 years. Even at this age, she does crazy things like watching his films multiple times and covering the walls of her drawing room and bedroom with his pictures. Her sons thought that a meeting with SRK would be the best gift for her," says the source. 

At the meeting, Shirani showed the actor some pictures from family albums that she brought along. "There were pictures of her at various ages. She got some of them signed. They had a long, hearty conversation. Shah Rukh even spoke to her about his next film, Chennai Express," adds the source.

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...
