Shah Rukh Khan says 'father was his favourite romantic hero'

Shah Rukh Khan has confessed that his father has always been his favourite romantic hero.

The 48-year-old actor explained in detail the love story of his parents, when his father was 29 years old and had met his mother literally in an accident.

Once his father came across a terrible accident, where a car had crashed into one of the pillars around India Gate and had overturned, trapping the passengers inside, which included his mother, along with her sisters and father, Andpersand Magazine reported.

His father and his cousin turned the car over and pulled out the passengers, out of which his mother was the most severely injured and due to excessive loss of blood needed a transfusion and as faith had it, his father's blood matched hers and he literally saved her life.

Unfortunately his mother had temporarily lost memory of her past six months and on his grandfather's request, everyday since then his father would look after his mother and eventually fell in love with him.

When his grandfather asked his father to choose a bride from his daughters, his father simply pointed towards his mother, who was already engaged.

The family was shocked, but his father persisted. He was also a natural charmer, and above all else, he was in love.

There wasn't opposition but they did have a peculiar situation.

However, his father was an idealist, a gentle giant and he did not rush things up but gave everyone time to figure out what had to be done and thanks to his patience he was married to his mother.

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.
