Akon sings 'Smack That' at Shah Rukh's behest

International R&B singer Akon sang his popular number Smack That at a party here hosted by Shah Rukh Khan as it was the Bollywood superstar's favourite song.

"Shah Rukh has requested me to sing Smack That at the party," Akon told reporters. The party was hosted by Shah Rukh ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches.

"My kids love him, I love him. I want you all to give him the biggest welcome into the country that anyone has ever had," said Shah Rukh who danced with his favourite singer on the stage.

According to a source, Akon might lend his voice for a song in Shah Rukh's upcoming action blockbuster RA 1.

But Juhi Chawla, Shah Rukh's partner in the IPL team, was hearing Akon for the first time.

"Actually I will be seeing him for the first time, performing live. I haven't listened to his song before. I have come as a guest in this party, so I really don't know what exactly has been planned for tonight. It will be a surprise for me as well," Juhi said.

Saurav Ganguly, captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders, was also present at the party.

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.
