Fan-tastic

The city has many fan clubs, old and new, which work as highly demonstrative support groups bearing their idols' standard. Sudeshna Banerjee takes a look

Shah Rukh Khan: Formed in 1998, Shah Rukh Khan Fans Club flaunts its authorisation from Red Chillies Entertainment, SRK's production company. Membership to the club in New Town costs Rs 300 and fetches a T-shirt, the club's programme CDs and Kolkata Knight Riders home match tickets. "We get 500 tickets for KKR matches free. On November 2, his birthday, he always takes our call. We throw a party here. The poor are fed and blankets distributed," says joint secretary Deepak Yadav. SRK's KKR connection has caused a spurt in membership. Last year, a yajna was held before a makeshift temple with a photograph of the team.

Had SRK not been supportive, he admits, the club might not have managed to retain its 400-odd members. "The first question a new member asks is 'When will I meet Shah Rukh?'," Yadav smiles.
