| Take A Chill-Pill King Khan By Webmaster, 20 April, 2008 |
 Shah Rukh Khan is at it again. The actor, who is known for his wicked sense of humour, just can't seem to stop making digs at his rivals at various public platforms. In the past, SRK made digs at Amitabh Bachchan's good friend Amar Singh and during this year's Filmfare award SRK didn't spare too many colleagues, including Akshay Kumar.And SRK never seems to fall short of people he can make fun of. Now, the actor has a new ground to cover - the Indian Premier League. Naturally, the actor (who owns the Kolkata Knight Riders) is jubilant about his team winning the first ever IPL match against Dr Vijay Mallya's team, Bangalore Royal Challengers on Friday. Now on the website of his team www.kolkataknightriders.com, Shah Rukh has made fun of all the rival teams including that of MS Dhoni, Shane Warne and VVS Laxman who represent Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Hyderabad Deccan Chargers respectively. Not only has SRK made digs at the rival teams but also cricket legends and former Indian captain, Krishnamachari Srikanth who was the highest scorer when India won the World Cup in 1983. The other nasty dig that SRK has made is on Lalchand Rajput who incidentally was the coach in-charge of the victorious Indian team for the T20 World Cup. SRK has insulted Rajput by putting his picture on an advertisement on the website with the heading 'Waste book', which says: 'If, like former team manager Lalchand Rajput, you suddenly find yourself with plenty of free time, don't despair.' However, the dig that takes the cake is a magazine cover called Chicinfo where SRK has not even spared his close friend Yuvraj Singh. The cover page has Yuvraj Singh's picture with a South Indian actress and reads: 'Yuvraj Singh seen with someone who looks like Katrina Kaif', 'Yuvraj Singh seen with Deepika Padukone' and even 'Yuvraj Singh parties with Jessica Simpson'. There is one more 'advertisement' which says: 'When you have good looks and great style, nobody really cares about performance when it matters. Just ask Yuvraj Singh.' Incidentally, Yuvraj is the captain of Preity Zinta's IPL team, Kings XI Punjab. SRK has even made fun of cricketers who had a great domestic career but could not shine on the international level. The digs imply that if one has Memo Boost!, which is a memory enhancing tablet they will even remember '... insignificant things like the careers of forgotten cricketers like Ajay Sharma, Noel David and Bharathi Arun!' Well, one thing is for sure. These tricks will certainly not help SRK win any matches but it will definitely leave a bad taste in the opponent's mouth. |
