Shah Rukh Khan to celebrate Janmashtami

​Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue, 'Don't underestimate the power of a common man' in Chennai Express, has already caught on with the masses. We hear SRK has agreed to be a part of the Janmashtami celebrations tomorrow at Jambori Maidan, Worli, which is expected to be attended by lakhs of people from all over the state. The annual event — Worli Chi Dahi Handi — is organised by Sachin and Sangeeta Ahir of Shree Sankalp Pratisthan Charitable Trust.

"We've had many celebrities attending our dahi handi in the past, but this time we wanted the ultimate Bollywood Badshah. We were a bit apprehensive while approaching him, but were surprised when he agreed instantly. He knew all about our dahi handi and also about the humongous presence of aam janta that will be there. In fact, he told us that he has been curious to see some of the Govindas and that he keeps hearing about our event or watching it on TV," says Sangeeta.

Will SRK break the dahi handi? "He said, 'leave it to me'. I think he will break the handi, but it is a surprise as of now. He will also be on stage for an hour at least," she adds.

The organisers are planning to welcome him in true Maharashtrian style by blowing a tutari. "We will also try and make him wear a pheta (turban) and give him a sword," says Sangeeta.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

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...
