Welcome to @iamsrk ShahRukh Khan's Blog

When lost in a foreign country, Bollywood always comes to your rescue. Especially Shah Rukh Khan . That King Khan has a crazy fan following Shahrukh Khan More Pics from Ambarnath to Amsterdam is stale news. But what you don't expect is to see strangers, otherwise hostile to Asians, suddenly becoming more approachable, the moment they realise you belong to SRK's country. Recently, a group of tourists from India were gallivanting in Naples, Italy, trying to find their way out of a maze of confusing streets.With not a soul in sight who could speak even half-decent English, they had a tough time negotiating the nukkads of Naples. Suddenly popped up Giovanni, a local youngster chilling out with his friends on a street corner. Hesitantly (after having experienced some not-so-polite encounters with Europeans), they approached him for help. "India?" was Giovanni's first response to a rather long-winded question. "SRK?" was his next one-word query. A...

Kolkata Knight Riders team owner Shah Rukh Khan said on Monday that the management will take time to make a final decision on the coach. "It is a process. It will take another 3 to 4 meetings before we decide. We will decide by the middle or end of the month," SRK said. He also ruled out John Wright being the front-runner for the job. "There are lots of people in the running. We are looking for a team that is fully available," he added. On his friend-turned-foe Salman Khan being interested in buying an IPL team, SRK said the IPL was a good product and anyone could bid for a team. Shah Rukh also rebutted the reports of Ganguly taking over as the captain in the absence of Brendon McCullum. "Lots of players may not be available, like Ponting, and even Gayle. We will see. Lots of time for that. First will decide on coach, then captain then team - all that only in December. SRK also acknowledged that a letter was sent to the BCCI seeking reason for snapping ties w...

NEW DELHI: Indian Premier League franchisees are up in arms against the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s decision to terminate event manager IMG’s contract with the league on Saturday. Mumbai Indians owner Mukesh Ambani, Knight Riders’ Shah Rukh Khan as well as the owners of Team Delhi and Team Jaipur have thrown their weight behind IMG and protested at not being consulted on the decision by shooting off letters to BCCI president Shashank Manohar, former board chief Sharad Pawar and IPL commissioner Lalit Modi. Copies of the letters are in TOI’s possession. Indian Premier League (IPL) franchisees have protested unitedly after the BCCI cancelled IMG’s contract with the League on Saturday.

Incidentally, Srinivasan is the owner of Team Chennai. Sources said that whi...

Shah Rukh Khan has fans the world over, but the star has also many takers when it comes to his gyaan and fundas on life. And one ardent fan when it comes to adopting his philosophies in life is Sameera Reddy. The leggy beauty, who's known the actor long before she entered Bollywood, even considers him her 'spiritual guru' and recalls one of her conversations with SRK that made a huge impact on her. "It was during a not-very-pleasant phase in my life, and I had too much on my mind. We were flying back after attending one event in Kolkata, when he realised that I was restless about something. And when I shared it with him, he said, 'You will be subjected to constant speculation and talks in this industry and you shouldn't take it seriously. All you got to do is know, accept and embrace yourself.' And over the time I do realise that the key of happiness does lie in finding peace within oneself," said Sameera. Well, wonder if that's the secret to the a...

Why does America, after electing President Barrack Obama, continue to be racist? There may be many explanations. One of them is that by installing him at the highest position in the country, the Whites feel that they have cleared the debt they owed to the non-White world. Yet this does not make America liberal. In fact, the conservative path that Obama has been taking of late shows that he would rather acquire pro-White credentials than those of a liberal who looked as if he had joined issue on colour as well as capitalism. I feel let down because I saw in him a bit of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Kennedy. What Obama has done is that he has effected only some cosmetic changes. He seems to have compromised with the vested interests in the fields of race and religion. A fresh thinking which I spotted in his pre-election speeches turned out to be a...

Washington: The US Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) extra scrutiny of megastar Shah Rukh Khan was triggered by Bollywood's showbiz having come under the scanner of law enforcement authorities and intelligence agencies for dodgy financial transactions and alleged underworld links.     Khan was questioned closely by CBP agents on his arrival at Newark's Liberty International Airport last week with emphasis on ascertaining his local US contacts and engagements. It transpires that Khan was visiting the US primarily for Bollywood shows in Chicago and Houston promoted by brothers, Farhath Hussain and Altaf Hussain, with other local promoters, some of whom are on the radar of authorities in the UK, US and India.     Although there was no red flag against SRK's name itself, it was his local contacts which triggered the alert, according to sources who didn't want to be named.

And it's an exclusive bit of news from a first class air passenger, who was on the same flight that Shah Rukh Khan was on from London to Mumbai (en route from his infamous brush in the USA with the immigration officials).

And Shah boy, gentleman that he is, got up and gave his seat to the lady. All the while chatting away. Mainly about his experiences in the USA and UK. And the only time Katz went back to her seat was when the plane was to land in Mumbai. Awesome, this dostana, eh? But wonder what loverboy Salman has to say to this one?
