Article~*~Khan's generosity doubles!

Khan gives not one but 2 watches this time!

Shah Rukh Khan is developing the reputation of being a softy at heart both in his reel life and real life. Finding it difficult to see his contestants go empty handed especially when the crash is of a significant amount.




Last night Sakharam Chopde, 48, from Buldana reached Hot Seat. Sakharam, whom SRK fondly calls Bapu, wanted to use the prize money for his two daughters' marriages. Being the father of a daughter himself, Shah Rukh, struck a special bond with Bapu and his wife who had accompanied him to KBC.


Bapu played brilliantly throughout the programme and steadily reached the 25 lakhs mark. However, that question left Bapu in doubt and he decided to flip the question. The next question was quite tough and Bapu gave the wrong answer thereby losing almost 50 per cent of his winnings and had to settle for 6,40,000 rupees.


Feeling bad for his loss Khan decided to gift him two watches for his daughters as well as 2 autographed photographs of himself in return for a promise – that Bapu would invite him for his daughters' wedding!


Shah Rukh says the watches, which are worth close to 90,000 rupees each, are a "wedding gift for the girls from him."

If only all of us could have such sparkling marriage gifts!
