‘My name is Khan… Shah Rukh Khan’

Bollywood’s most lovable couple Raj and Simran is back! This time around as Mandira and Rizwan, in the most awaited film of the year My Name is Khan directed by Karan Johar.

At an event to unveil the first look of their film, Bollywood’s famous jodi SRK-Kajol who have come together after eight long years onscreen, displayed some lovely moments, proving how their sizzling chemistry still remains intact.

For starters, they praised each other’s histrionics and credited Karan for bringing out the best in them. It was very endearing to see the lovely Kajol leaning and holding SRK’s arms while watching the sneak preview of the film. “He is grown a little taller and developed a good body, great six packs,” said Kajol when asked to point out the changes she found in Shah Rukh, since their last film Kabhi Khusi Kabhi Gham.

Kajol also thanked Kjo for giving her such a wonderful film and an opportunity to work with SRK again. “I think this film completes us as actors. I am sure Shah Rukh will agree,” she said and let the men on the podium, especially SRK to take the action forward.

When SRK talked, like always, the press was all eyes and ears for no star can ever strike a better conversation with the media than SRK.

Any specific marketing strategy for the film promotion that he and Karan have been planning just like arch rival Aamir Khan’s who’s been aggressively promoting his films all over? “Most definitely,” SRK averred. “I haven’t vanished. I am still here so we will certainly come out with something,” he grinned as the crowd applauded at his witty remark, clearly a casual dig perhaps at Aamir’s disappearing act aired on TV these days.

Brushing aside queries about facing prejudices for being a Muslim, apparently one of the themes in My Name is Khan, SRK said, a tad agitated. “Never. These are very petty discussions. I never felt discriminated for my faith or surname. On the contrary I have only gained much more than I have ever imagined. God and people have been more than kind.”

Talking about the film SRK said, “However, the essence of the film is love, with a little Karan Joharish touch. It deals with the fact that the greatest tool on this earth is love. You can conquer anything with it”.

SRK took his banter to another level when he lightly replied to a query as to why the emphasis is on the surname `Khan’ and not `Rizwaan’ which is his name in the film.
“My name is Bond, James Bond….Yeah?” he said with a smirk flashing his famous dimple. “So there you go .My name is Khan… Shah Rukh Khan”.
