When Shahrukh Khan First Met Gauri

-

"Mujhe bhi apna bhai samjho,” were the first words that Shah Rukh said to his wife Gauri. “I first met Gauri when I was 18 years old. I started very late, unlike Hrithik who started at the age of 12. I was very shy of girls that time. I still am. I saw Gauri dancing with a boy and asked my friend to ask her if she would dance with me,” he said to Farhan Akhtar, talking about his first encounter with his lady love.

“He went and asked her but she said ‘No, I am waiting for my boyfriend.’ I had a heartbreak thinking I’ve lost her. But later on I realised that it was actually her brother and she lied to everyone so that no one comes and asks her to dance with them.

Later on, I called her one day and told her “Mujhe bhi apna bhai samjho”. The moment I said that, she was ready to marry me. Gauri and I have very brotherly sisterly relationship,” he joked.

Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case Actor Salman Khan was today issued notice by the Supreme Court on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal in two poaching cases. In July, the Rajasthan High Court found the 50-year-old actor not guilty of killing an endangered species of gazelle or chinkara in two separate incidents in 1998 while he was shooting a film in the desert state. The state government challenged his acquittal; it wants him to be imprisoned to serve the rest of his sentence - after being convicted in 2007 for hunting down and killing the chinkaras, he was awarded a one-year prison term and a five-year prison term respectively. He then spent a week in jail in Jodhpur before being granted bail. While finding him not guilty, the High Court had said there was no evidence to prove that the animals who were found dead were shot by Mr Khan's licensed gun.

Tees Maar Khan Box Office Report/Review/Collections

Box Office Report of Tees Maar Khan: Tees Maar Khan Takes a Huge Opening at the box office but the reports about the film are negative Tees Maar Khan took a great opening at the box office across the country but the reports are not good. The film is a hit on the strength of its opening but whether it becomes a blockbuster is in doubt as collections in the evening at places could not keep up with its bombastic start in the morning. Saturday is a holiday which could help but Sunday will tell where the film is going. Another plus is two weeks of no competition. The other two releases of the week, Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Isi Life Mein had very dull collections and could not register at the box office due to the Tees Maar Khan wave.

Reaction of Nikunj Malik to Rahul Mahajan's Wedding With Dimpy Ganguly

Here is Nikunj Malik's Interview After the Swayamvar... Nikunj Mallik Mysteriously, Rahul Mahajan seemed like great marriage material to besotted young girls (or they put up a very good act, at any rate) on Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega. Nikunj Malik, one of the three finalists, decided to stop looking at him through rose-tinted glasses and is now rather vocal about her dislike. She says, “I feel Dimpy is perfect for Rahul as both have similar habits and lifestyles, which is not very acceptable to me. Though Rahul was quite interested in me, which was quite evident, I realised he’s not the kind of person I’d like to spend my life with.” A man never changes his spots, darling, so what possessed her to go for someone like Rahul? She says, “For the past two years, there has been no negative publicity about him. When at 35, a man wants to settle down and have a family, that worked for me. He is a nice man, but it’s obvious there is no visible improvement. It was the drinking, smoking and C...

The Actor aired his views on BBC Radio Shah Rukh Khan has broken his silence over the terror attacks in Mumbai. The actor spoke to the London-based Bollywood show over the phone. Titled Raj and Pablo's Love Bollywood show on the BBC Asian Network, the actor expressed his anguish and views about the terrorism events. In his interaction with the RJs, Shah Rukh said "I've tried to keep away from commenting on this as there are no words to express a situation like this because our feelings are mixed with anger, disbelief and sadness." "Being a Muslim myself, I believe youngsters need to understand Islam and respect the religion in the right way. It's such a huge waste and my appeal to all in these times and in recent years is 'please, can we run what we want in terms of politics, government, jobs and teaching our children with the prime motive of taking communalism out of it. I think no agenda should be attached to any kind of religion." Adding that work...
