SRK expresses gratitude with special gift hamper
Shah Rukh Khan gifted a special hamper to all the 40 Bollywood actors who have been a part of his home production, Om Shanti Om. He personally chose special items to be packed in this gift basket that resembled close pal, Karan Johar's television show, Koffee With Karan's coveted gift hamper.
A source close to the superstar told us, "SRK had personally requested most of the 40 stars (including filmmakers like Subhash Ghai, Rakesh Roshan) to play themselves in Om Shanti Om. Since they obliged and did not even charge a single penny for their services, SRK decided to repay them back for their gracious gesture with a special memento."

Om Shanti Om PR, Niloufer Qureshi confirming this news stated, "Yes it is true that Shah Rukh designed a special basket which included the latest Nokia handset, a Tag Heuer watch, a gold coin, Om Shanti Om CDs and T shirts and a personal letter signed by Farah and him."
"Out of the 40 stars, 30 (including Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan and Salman Khan) have participated in a song that's on the lines of Manmohan Desai's Naseeb (1981) song number that showed a Bollywood filmy party with many top line biggies (Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Raj Kapoor etc) of that time playing themselves as guests invited for the party. The rest 10 that include stars like Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan and Akshay Kumar are there in the film during various scenes. Since SRK plays a Bollywood star of today's times in the film, he wanted to add a real feel by roping in all the big names of today. He was thrilled by the enthusiastic response by all," our source further adds.
