"I am King Khan for the love that you guys have
given me. You really have adopted me.
No other city gives me this feeling," Shah
Rukh Khan said to cheers and thunderous
applause from the audience.
(Source: Twitter) Witty answers, anecdotes, flying kisses
and lots of jhatkas and matkas by
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan punctuated a starry Wednesday evening
as he toasted the success of "Happy New
Year" with the film team and audience at
the St. Xavier's College here. Taking questions from a packed house, Shah Rukh Khan - along with the Happy New Year director Farah Khan, cast
members Sonu Sood and Vivaan Shah -
interacted with youngsters on stage and
on the ground, enacted scenes, sang,
shook a leg to hits like "Lungi Dance"
from "Chennai Express" and "Indiawale" from Happy New Year and reiterated his admiration for the Kolkata fanbase. "I am King Khan for the love that you
guys have given me. You really have
adopted me. No other city gives me this
feeling," Shah Rukh Khan said to cheers
and thunderous applause from the
audience. While one fan, Lakshmi Khanna urged him
to repeat "Om Shanti" with her and
brought along a gift bag, a young admirer
Lovely questioned the absence of Happy
New Year actress Deepika Padukone. Shah Rukh Khan, in his inimitable style,
praised her for being more beautiful than
Deepika and responded that the actress
was busy in a shoot. "I will bring her along with me to the next
match at Eden Gardens," SRK, owner of
the Indian Premier League franchise
Kolkata Knight Riders, promised. While the focus was on HNY, fans
expressed their love for his other
memorable films like "Dil Toh Pagal
Hai" (DTPH), "Devdas" and "Chennai
Express" as well. Asked by a youngster to "woo" Farah, SRK
sportingly recited the "Aur
Paas" ("closera) dialogue from DTPH as he
held Farah's hand and ultimately wrapped
her in a hug. "See? Easy," he chirped while Farah
dressed in a stunning red kurta added:
"This is my lucky day." Shah Rukh Khans love for the city's energetic and enthusiastic audience, was
echoed by Sonu and Farah during their
turns to talk. "When Shah Rukh told me You have to come to Kolkata' to feel the love, I didn't
quite believe it, but now I am feeling the
love," said Farah. Sonu Sood, who greeted the spectators in Bengali,
also acknowledged Shah Rukh's claim that
the Kolkata crowd is the best. Vivaan
termed the experience as "amazing." Shah Rukh ensured fans had their say and
he didn't shy away from answering bold
questions like "how can you be so sexy."
"I am born sexy," he said in his signature
suave voice as the audience went wild.
