Gauri Named SRK - Abhinav

Gauri Khan is a perfect wife for the King Khan. Gauri Khan is also a television and a film producer apart from being a closet interior decorator. She recently appeared in a chat showon the Idiot Box. She just couldnt stop praising Shahrukh for his hard work and dedication. Gauri goes by the fact that Shah Rukh is the King of Bollywood. She is the first lady of Bollywood who talked about her husband in such glowing terms in a chat show.

"He was always ambitious right from his childhood days, in his school, in his college he has always been on top. Whether it was as a student; football, hockey, his theatre anything, whatever he would touch would be gold. I think I was smart to marry him. I think that`s my smartness that I chose the right guy,” said Gauri khan.

However, the lady denied being the pillar behind SRK. Gauri also gave an insight into her love story. "Yes, he was the first person I met and went out with and he has been the only man. My parents were obviously against it because we were so young and then to get married to a person who was going to join films and being from a different religion. We even changed his name to 'Abhinav' so that they feel he was a Hindu boy and that was really silly and childish." She added.

It has been long sice and SRk is now the King of Bollywood. So one can definately say that Gauri had made the correct choice.

SRK listed among the 50 Most Powerful People

After conquering Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan has now been ranked at the 41st spot among the 50 most powerful people in the world by the prestigious Newsweek magazine, with Barack Obama topping the list. The other Indian besides the King Khan in the list happens to be the Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who's at the 17th spot.

The magazine describes SRK as 'King of Bollywood', a title that every cinegoer is aware of. The magazine also stated that 'It's not just that his romantic flicks make gazillions, it's where those gazillions come from. Khan is huge in the Muslim world, even in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where the mullahs ban his films. Their main appeal is certainly the song-and-dance numbers, but Khan makes devoutly secular films where love trounces bigotry.

Now with even the Newsweek in his kitty, one is simply left wondering as to what will be the King's next conquest.

Vinay Pathak all set to play SRK

Believe it or not but Vinay Pathak is going to play SRK in one of his upcoming films. Not just that, the film is also titled SRK and is all set to attract quite some eyeballs once it gets readied for release.

"Yes, Vinay Pathak is doing this film called SRK and he also plays the title role. However, the name that he shares with Shah Rukh Khan is just coincidental. The film has nothing to do with the superstar since Vinay's SRK stands for Shivaji Ramchandra Khote", confirms a source.

So, that's the mystery behind the name. Who are the other people attached to the film? "Manoj Joshi, who has been a regular with Priyadarshan and Madhur Bhandarkar and has acted in practically all their films during last 6-7 years, plays Vinay's father", adds the source, "The film also stars Rituaparna Sengupta and Dilip Prabhavalkar in key roles."

The film is produced by Warner Bros. and has first timer Ajay Varma at the helm of direction. Apparently, the film is a Malayalam remake. The film mainly deals with situational humor instead of being an out and out comedy.

Shubh expresses his gratitude to the King Khan

Shubh, who is making his debut in the film Aasmaan is a newcomer with some difference.Whatever this talented actor-dancer from Delhi has achieved in life so far is only because of his talent and will power!

Shubh learnt the ropes of dancing from ace choreographer Shiamak Davar and happens to be one of his favourite disciple. “I am so happy that without any film connections, I was able to get this break and today my first film is all set for release!

And I am really thankful to Shah Rukh Khan for this,” says Shubh. How come? “As a youngster I had always harboured the dream to become an actor.

However, nobody in my family is remotely connected to films. I had no clue how to realise my dream! Then when I was in school in Delhi, I happened to go to a party with my father which was also attended by Shah Rukh Khan! I approached him and asked him how could I realise my ambition?

Shah Rukh heard me out patiently and even though he did not know me personally, he spent more than an hour giving me some valuable tips!

He told me that there was no shortcut to success and since I don’t come from a filmi family my path to stardom was going to be more difficult, but it was achievable! He said ‘If I can make it, than any talented person can make it. The trick is to be focused, persistent and give it your best shot.’ I decided to follow his advice seriously and today I am almost on the verge of realising my dream and for this I would like to thank Shah Rukh,” says Shubh
