Bollywood’s King Khan Shah Rukh Khan has been quite active on Twitter lately. Amidst promoting his upcoming film Pathaan, the superstar has been engaging with his fans on social media. Well, lucky for us because we have been getting all the tea from him and some quirky responses too.
On Thursday, during an #AskSRK session on Twitter, fans sent hundreds of questions to Khan. However, one user lit up the proceedings by asking the actor about his first girlfriend.
We know that Khan has been married to Gauri Khan for more than three decades now. But did you ever wonder who was his first-ever girlfriend? Any guesses?
Replying to the user’s curiosity, King Khan didn’t hesitate to open up. He wrote: “My wife Gauri.”
Rivalries have been evident in Bollywood since the ages of yore, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Bipasha Basu were embroiled in a fight on the sets of Ajnabee and that did escalate further only to have the two take more digs at each other in the future.
The two stars have worked together in the much spoken about Bollywood drama Ajnabee that released in 2001.
It is said that the 3 Idiots diva was upset that designer Vikram Phadnis who was designated to her, decided to help Bipasha without her consent.
This escalated into a fight that also involved slaps. As per India Today, both went on to have a heated argument.
It is said that Kareena even went on to call Bipasha Kaali Billi, and not just that even slapped her in the heat of the moment.
The Bodyguard heroine decided to give her side of the story to Filmfare in 2002. She had said, “She just doesn’t seem to have any confidence in her own talent. In a four-page interview, she spoke about me for three pages. Why not talk about your work? I think her only claim to fame is that she fought with me during Ajnabee overdress designer Vikram Phadnis. She’s given statements that I called her uncharitable names. Now, that’s a figment of her imagination.”
Earlier Karan Johar asked Kareena on Koffee With Karan if she wants to work with John, she said, “I don’t want to (work) with John Abraham because he is expressionless.”
Actress Mawra Hocane travelled to India in 2015 to shoot her romantic movie Sanam Teri Kasam opposite Harshvardhan Rane. The Jawani Phir Nahi Aani 2 actor met and partied with multiple Bollywood personalities.
Mawra and other Pakistani stars was asked by the Indian authorities to leave India post the URI attacks in 2016.
She met Ranveer Singh in Manchester.
She also visited Rishi Kapoor in America while he was admitted at an hospital for being diagnosed with cancer.
On the work front, Mawra is currently shooting for Qissa Meherbano Ka opposite Ahsan Khan. Written by Fakhra Jabeen the drama is being directed by Iqbal Hussain and will go on air on HUM TV later this year.
Shah Rukh Khan, known for his wit and humour, recently released a short video in which he wished his fans a ‘Happy New Year’ and promised that he has a big surprise lined up for them in 2021.
The hilarious video begins with the King of Bollywood in a night suit fighting mosquitoes. Khan adds that had to record the video all by himself as he had no staff available to record it.
“Hi everybody,” said the actor as he started his video. “It is that time of the year again where the old year is on its way out and the New Year is waiting at the entrance. Actually, it has entered because I am late in conveying my wishes to all of you.”
Reflecting on the past year, the actor said: “I am sure 2020 has been the worst of years for everybody. In these awful times, for most it is difficult to find a ray of hope and positivity. But I have a way of looking at bad days, difficult times, and awful years. I believe when one is at the lowest, at the most bottom-est of their life, the good thing is there is only one way to move – upwards, higher to better places. So, 2020 whatever it has been is in the past now. 2021 is going to be bigger, better, brighter and more beautiful.”
Elaborating on the lessons 2020 taught him, SRK emphasized on how important it is to have your loved ones by your side.
“Real fun is with real people. Your family, your friends, your loved ones. All the friends and enemies you make virtually, taking sides or fighting against you online, is good fun, time pass, but it’s not for keeps,” said the actor.
Wishing his fans “happiness, joy and peace”, Shah Rukh joked that he sounded like a “cheap greeting card” while saying this.
He also requested everyone to be “romantic, emphatic, pragmatic, democratic, fantastic” in 2021 and not be “mathematic as it’s very boring and also very difficult to rhyme with the other words.”
Khan also gave his fans some advice on partying.
“Go party hard, but not too hard in moderation. Don’t get too drunk, don’t take off your clothes and run on the street, because chances are you’ll get arrested and even worse you will wake up in the morning and realize you have lost your phone and that really sucks,” said the superstar.
The Fan actor concluded his video with a promise.
“See you on the big screen in 2021,” confirming reports that his upcoming film Pathan is in the works.
Pathan, which marks SRK’s return to the big screen after a long break, will see him play a special agent. Deepika Padukone and John Abraham are also part of the film while Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan are expected to have cameos.
SRK was also recently spotted outside Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai sporting a new look for the film.
