SRK's Bangladeshi Tussaud's left disappointed

Two busts of King Khan, made by two impoverished Bangladeshi brothers, were meant to be auctioned to fund their education. But the brothers were left high and dry

Shah Rukh Khan
was in Dhaka performing in front of live audience on December 10.

Apart from winning hearts and more fans in Bangladesh, King Khan took home two handmade sculptures of his face as gifts. These were supposed to be auctioned to collect money for the poor boys who made them.

The two sculptures was made by two poor rural students, Shusen (17) and Shamon (18) in Bangladesh and these were supposed to be auctioned by SRK. The entire money was to be donated for the education of these two brothers.

The day of the event though turned out to be a disappointment for both the boys who were waiting in the green-room for hours hoping that King Khan will do something in their favour and auction the sculptures. It turns out that SRK was not informed of this so-called auction and instead took both the sculptures with him as a gift! The event organizer also did not pay anything to the boys either.

When contacted, Shapan Chowdhury, the chairman of the event management firm in Dhaka, said, "Yes, both the sculptures were made by Shusen and Shamon and were supposed to be auctioned but due to time constraint we could not do carry out the auction. The sculptures now have been gifted."

Was SRK informed that they were supposed to be auctioned and that the money from this was to be given to the poor boys who made them? He clarified, "No, we couldn't give him details. But now I will give some amount of money to the boys."
