When Shah Rukh got emotional

Mumbai's ITC Grand Maratha Sheraton hotel witnessed quite a few film and television stars when Mushtaq Shiekh unvieled his new book, Still Reading Khan, a biography of Shah Rukh Khan.

SRK, who launched the book, got especially emotional when a video clip showed images of his earlier home in Delhi -- the home where he lived with his parents before he moved to Mumbai.

He said, "The best part of today's function was when I saw my old house in Delhi. It brought back memories of my mom and dad. I wish they were alive to see how much importance is given to me."

The clip also showed SRK's friends and colleagues like choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan, actor-director Sajid Khan, producer Viveck Vaswani, filmmaker Subhash Ghai, director Farhan Akhtar, Juhi Chawla's husband Jay Mehta and SRK's sister Shabeena Khan talking about the star and Mushtaq.

While most of them praised SRK, all Sajid seemed to love was Shah Rukh's 'big house and big car.'

Later, SRK laughed about Sajid's comments and said, "Sometimes I think that all I have is a big car and a big house, and nothing else."

After the book was launched, Shah Rukh invited his directors like Farah Khan, Aziz Mirza, Farhan Akhtar, Karan Johar, Abbas-Mustan on stage to cut a cake.

When the event was about to wind up, Ekta Kapoor, a close friend of Musthtaq, made her entry. Interestingly, Mushtaq wrote Balaji serials like Kya Hadsa Kya Hakeekat, Kahiin Toh Hoga and Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii for two years.

Mumbai, Oct 12. (PTI): Striking an emotional note, bollywood actor ShahRukh Khan, whose biography was released at a function here, said he wished his parents were alive to experience the moment.

"I wish my parents were alive to see how much importance is given to me. It is quite overwhelming. I am embarassed about this," Shah Rukh said at the release function last evening.

The 460-page coffee table book "Still Reading Khan", is written by Mushtaq Sheikh.
After watching a short film on his early days as an actor in the course of the function, Shah Rukh said "The best part of today's function was when I saw my old house in Delhi and it brought back memories of my Mom and Dad. I really wish they were here".

When compere Sajid Khan praised the actor's "big house and big car", the actor laughed out saying, "Sometimes I think that all I have is only a big car and a big house and nothing else. I think many more cotemporaries deserve to be written about but perhaps because the author is my neighbour, I was written about first."

Recalling Sheikh's interviews with him for the book, Shahrukh said, "I think he and I met and talked only between midnight and five in the morning. All he did was to ask me question about my life. I did not ask him what he exactly was writing".

In a touching gesture, most of Shah Rukh's directors including, Farah Khan, Aziz Mirza, Farhan Akhtar (who directed him in forthcoming 'Don') and Karan Johar came on stage to congratulate him and cut a cake to celebrate the book release.
