SRK keeps holiday promise to kids
Shah Rukh Khan gave his kids the holiday he promised - with little or no interference from work. The superstar is in Paris on the last leg of his vacation with wife Gauri and kids Aryan and Suhana, "Hes not been taking calls or replying to SMSes," a close friend of his said, "In the 40-day vacation, he did only two or three appearances that he had been requested to put in.
Even during his charity auction in London with MF Husain, SR was not particulary happy to be spending time away from his kids, the source added: "When the event came up, he was unsure till he was told it was for charity. And then he explained to Aryan and Suhana that he needed to be away for a while."
The holiday began with SRK rounding up his gang - Karan Johar, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Kapoor and Chunky Pandey - and their families, spending time together in London before the IIFA awards.
All the kids - Arjun Rampals daughter Mahilka and Myra, Sanjay Kapoors daughter Shania and Chunkys children Anarnya and Rysa - are close friends with SRKs kids and some of them go to school together. King Khan is also extremely fond of kids and it was no different during these holidays. He made sure that he took the kids to see his wax statue at Madame Tussauds. "The two kids were so proud to see their daddy there. And Khans life lies in Aryan and Suhana... in fact I think he actually enjoyed his statue once he saw that look in their eyes," says a source.
After IIFA was over, Karan Johar, threw a launch party in central London for LOfficiel India. Everyone from Shilpa Shetty to Upen Patel made an appearance. But Gauri walked in sans her hubby who was spending time once again with his children. And like Karan there were many other close associated that were looking to host SR in London but a source from the party says that"Khan had time only for his bachas."
But it wasnt all indoors for SRK. People spolted SRK shopping on Bond Street and Piccadilly Circus. A fan who saw SR with his daughter says that she almost didnt recognize the superstar. "He kept such a low profile.
None of that noise that comes with Bollywood stars. He had security with him but thats about it. I almost crossed him and didnt realized. I saw him buying things for his daughter and all his attention was on her... it was like it was their store and nobody else was there," says yet another woman who has been bowled over by King Khan.
Recently Khan was invited to Warwick Castle to open its latest attraction which included Khan landing on the castle grounds in a helicopter and start with a sword slashing red carpet ribbon cutting ceremony, flanked by fully armoured mediavel bodyguards. But that was just the start of the fun for SRK. After the inauguration Khan went for a private visit of the Castle with family.
And if you think this sounds a like a packed holiday theres still more.
Khan is capping off his holiday at Disneyland in Paris and this time he has invited co-actress Juhi Chawla and her son to join them. Spolted having a gala time with Mickey and Minnie, Suhana looked ready to convince her dad to set up another Mannat in the Disney grounds and knowing Khan to be the doting dad that is none of us would be surprised if it did hapen.
After such an action packed holiday wonder if Khan will need another hoiday to get over this one!
