I'm a huge Shah Rukh Khan fan, says Noureen DeWulf of Anger Management fame

Actress Noureen DeWulf of Anger Management fame on her Indian heritage, comic timing and love for films, especially Hindi cinema.

While she has a number of Hollywood films to her credit including Ocean’s Thirteen, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and The Back-up Plan, Noureen DeWulf is best known for her role of Lacey in the popular sitcom Anger Management. The show, that airs on Comedy Central every Friday  at 10 pm, also stars Charlie Sheen among a host of other actors. Noureen plays a rich girl and is definitely hard to miss with the bold dialogues belted out by her. She has joined Sheen’s therapy group for anger management. The actress talks to After Hrs about her role and more...

You’ve recently completed 55 episodes of Anger Management, how do you keep your role of Lacey on the show fresh and interesting?
The writers help me a lot. The current episode that’s airing in the US has Lacey showing her parents and soon her family too. So we always try to keep the character fun and interesting. It is a bit of a challenge.

What facets do you enjoy about the character?
I love how much fashion means to her. Also, her ability to say what she’s thinking. Most of us don’t get to do that in real life. It’s fun — almost a release.

What is it like working with Charlie Sheen? Have you learnt anything from him about comic timing?
Definitely, he has excellent timing. The biggest thing I’ve learnt is to trust my instinct. Charlie doesn’t like rehearsals and the rapid pace with which we shoot has helped me grow as a comedian. In fact, Charlie has become a great friend. Spending 12 hours together on the sets really helps, and I do love him as a person.

You’ve also done some films, do you prefer the small or the big screen?
I like both. They’ve very different. A movie will last forever, whereas TV characters can die out in a few months. But I enjoy Anger Management as it forces me to rediscover what it is to be funny.

Tell us a bit about your role in Coffee Kill Boss? Which is your next release?
In the film I play the lead character, a temporary worker who joins the day of a corporate merger. One by one each of the board members start to die. It’s a bit of a whodunnit — a funny murder mystery. My next film is They Came Together with Paul Rudd that will release early next year.

You’re born to Indian parents, how connected are you to your Indian roots?

My parents moved to the States in the 70s but I still have family in India. If anyone asks, I always say I’m from India. I do speak pretty good Hindi and in fact had a dialogue in my show in Hindi as well.

Is Bollywood on your mind? 
I watch a lot of Bollywood films. I’d love to act in a film in India provided the right script comes to me at the right time. I have had a few offers but somehow they haven’t worked out. I’m also a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan — he’s amazing and totally funny to watch.

Shah Rukh Khan sheds some light on the mysteries behind Scorpions and Scorpios !

I looked up Scorpios on the net and found that they are the cars Rohit Shetty gleefully sends flying into the air. On further research I arrived at Scorpio the sun sign. I found that being a Scorpio implies the following list of qualities: determination, fearlessness, sensuality, poise, loyalty, ambition, intuitiveness, a jealous and controlling nature, secretiveness, resentfulness, ruthlessness and a tendency towards mystery!

Much as I would like to pontificate on all these wonderful (or not so wonderful) traits, I (as a true blooded Scorpio) am supposed to possess, I think ‘mystery’ is the one that lends itself most to fifteen hundred words on a good November morning.

As a kid, I was an observer of people. I remember observing that a legendary uncle of mine would assume a morose, pondering posture now and then and stare deeply into the universe as if it held a great secret only he could decipher. “Interesting,” I thought, “it gives him an air of mystery, I wouldn’t mind being mysterious too” so I began to stare deeply into space and pretend I was morose now and then as well.

It worked wonders!
The grown ups began thinking that I was a deeply philosophical little boy. This gained me some positive attention while I was actually just contemplating sibling strategy (like how to overhear the girlie talk my sister shared with her friends in her room).

I learnt two important life lessons very early
1. 
Mystery is a clever psychological device; an excellent camouflage for all sorts of idiosyncrasies. It is most useful if wanting to fend off annoying conversation. Better still, if attempting to acquire an enigmatic aura or generally throwing your weight around.
2. If life were revelatory and bare, it would be deathly boring. So a little mystery is essential to a compelling life.
Thereon I decided that device or not, looking at life in terms of mysteries was a far better approach to it than taking it merely for what it appeared to be saying to me on the surface. I began to search for stories in everything and in doing so I began also, to understand the magical world of story telling that I later came to inhabit professionally.
Mystery has a knack of building upon itself. It begins with wonder and intrigue. The human mind is impatient with intrigue. It’s need to resolve, understand and simplify arises.
Hypotheses are developed, and theories thought up in an attempt to explain the inexplicable. But explanations have a curious twist. Invariably they read the myths of life at particular levels leaving other depths unresolved. This allows for new stories to come forth and lend themselves to exploration. Mysteries abound where we most seek answers and answers lead to new questions in a cyclical process. You figure one thing out and another pops up on top of it. Let me explain this revelation with a few of the mysteries that confound my intellect.

Hotel Californication
Like for example: Who designs the hyper space age hydraulic weapons masquerading as benign shower jets in glitzy hotel loos? The bathroom environs are enticing. Veined marbles, great smelling lotions in miniscule bottles, all lead the unsuspecting fellow craving a bath into their evil fold. As he strips and gingerly enters the shower cubicle he is confronted by a shower system that looks like, Mangal Yaan (the satellite being shot into Mars’ orbit, by India).  All the knobs, handles, function keys, delete and escape command buttons, confound the simple man looking for a simple bath. He can’t figure out, which one is to be pulled, pushed, turned or pressed. He approaches the most friendly looking switch with caution and looks up in anticipation (because that’s where a shower normally begins its downward journey). Instead a murderous assault of water missiles is unleashed onto him from deviously placed nozzles that aim at odd places all over his body.
Before he knows it he is playing a paint-less version of Paintball with sneaky little water jets firing at him from all sides. If he is of a more agile disposition (like me) then he ends up doing the hitherto unknown Kathakali Rain dance.
There is an old quote stating something to the effect that… Marriage is like getting the mix of hot and cold water right in the shower. These space age showers might just give matrimony a whole new meaning!
And while we’re on mysteries I want to know why my whole body shouldn’t be immersed in the bathtub for a nice hot soak. If I push my chest inside, why do my knees stick out and vice versa. Is that too much to wonder? Should I shut up before Apple comes out with a user friendly version.
“Slide to immerse knees at the same time as chest.”

Having Kathakali danced his way through his shower, our valiant hotel guest may now turn his attention to the mystery of those infernal panels they affix on the bedside with little symbols indicating which button controls what light. One minute it’s Diwali, the next a throbbing nightclub, the third plunges him into abject darkness and the curtains will have suddenly splayed so that the entire universe might envelope him in its mysteriously morose stare.
I will not even venture into describing the furry shoeshine contraption they have lying in wait innocently beside the cupboard. It reminds me of a little grey monster from Monsters Inc. waiting to gobble you up feet first. All that will be left of the guest, is a shiny burp. Shudder.
And are you all with me on this one. The tightness with which they tuck the duvet into the grooves on the side of hotel beds. Snuggling into them is like getting into a pair of jeans two sizes too small. If you haven’t asphyxiated by morning, chances are you will end up having a massive case of ‘Toelio’, bent toes!
It’s a mystery why they can’t allow you to get into bed without warring with the Duvet Bin Laden.This is one reason you will never find me asking the house keeping in a hotel, to help me knot a tie around my neck!

Textesterone 
Textually speaking, another modern mystery confronts us all today.
The ‘short hand’ typing for short messaging service and social media. Internet language or Netlingo as it is lovingly addressed.
It’s the language of the 21st century, they say. For 20 centuries, we barbaric humans have developed languages that will civilise us. Dictionaries that will enlighten us. Shakespeare’s sonnets that will make us fall in love (if we understood them, that is).
So I would like to know who had the brilliant idea that we need to condense and distort them into Netlingo? I’m not arguing about languages like Basic and Cobol that enhance the usage of machines in our lives and modernise us? I’m talking about the stuff that regresses us to our barbaric, grunting days.
So now we communicate in abbreviations. Short form. Text speak. Txt spk. They claim it facilitates communication.
I heard Martha Stewart analyse the current human posture in her programme, something like this.
Bent over a device, with no way of hearing any other sound except the skrillix music in our ears.
What is to become of us? Instead of speaking to each other, we will write using a nonsensical array of letters. Texting will become our only form of communication and if we do speak, will we speak as we read?
But what we will read, will be gibberish. BYBO…CYA..OMG…JSU…LOL…ROFL. When you read it, it will sound surprisingly like grunting and heaving sounds. The ones we made when we were apes.  Will our highly developed senses then embark upon the discovery of language once again? But we already have more than the languages we need!!!
Doesn’t this make everyone wonder? Everyone except the rappers, I guess. They are ok with whatever abbreviation you use as long as you prefix or suffix it with F@#*.
But what’s even more mysterious to me is that people are now ‘Sexting’. Which means sending naked pictures on phones and the net and making out on the virtual plane instead of plain old Kashmiri rugs. Cyber6 it’s called. Cyber Sex to the uninitiated.
Does anybody understand the enormity of this?? Soon we’ll all be cyber6ing and we’ll forget how to procreate. We are slowly destroying mankind…one message at a time. Don Altman said, “The digital frontier is a nurturing place where verbs and nouns are not only born, but in fact bear off-springs.”
Yeah that’s very cool, but picture a world overrun with little verbs and nouns in pretty prams instead of the Farex babies we have sort of become so accustomed to.
A wonderful author who goes by the name of Josh Gondelman, has done an exercise on the net, of converting famous movie quotes into text speak. Some of the results will bear testimony to my outcry of disbelief at what is happening to us:

GONE WITH THE WIND
“Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn.”
Becomes….
Seriously my dear, WTF!!

FIGHT CLUB
First rule: “You do not talk about Fight Club”

Becomes…
1st rule: STFU

JERRY MCGUIRE
“You had me at hello”
Becomes..
You had me @ ’sup
I rest my case. There can’t be no great debate about it. Or should that be…no gr8 db8 abt tis.
Which brings me to the abiding mystery of why human beings need to complicate the simplest things in their endless endeavour to uncomplicate their own lives.
This also works in reverse: people get confounded by the camouflage of mysteriousness in a way that even the most mundane things become mystifying to them given the right context. Being a so-called superstar you end up surrounded by people who contextualise the silliest things into justifications for their own ideas of you.
If anyone else were to declare they never used soap to bathe with, it would create an insufferable stink, as a superstar, it just adds to the repertoire of legends being woven around you. “And he doesn’t even use soap” they’ll whisper in a revelatory tone (I don’t by the way, but I’ve been told I smell fantastic, and there is no mystery here, I just use a lot of cologne.)
I’ve seen people use mystery to make themselves look truly superior and far more interesting than they actually are. It works like a charm. Especially when they fall for it themselves!
There are those who begin to refer to themselves in the third person “He cannot wear these clothes in public”  they’ll say, as you look around wondering which exhibitionist flasher exactly they’re referring to. Or then they’ll allude to their own body parts as if they belonged to a mysterious collective of body parts, “The arms were aching after like two hours of exercise bro.” 
There’s another one they fancy, the one in which they mysteriously dissolve their own agency into public will, “The people want me to do this” they’ll proclaim expecting to be taken seriously. What people?! I wonder. I also wonder that if they took their head out their own caboose long enough, will they realise there is no one telling them to do anything.
It’s a mystery to me why it’s never enough to be human or ordinary or just plain strange. Why do we have to cloak ourselves in the farce of extraordinariness just because we (mystically?) succeeded where others failed before us.
But then everything is a mystery to me and I like it that way. That’s the way I have been brought up. It’s my uncle’s fault. All of it
Like which armrest of my seat in a theater belongs to me?
Ownership is a mystery.
Why must we pluck flowers instead of admiring their beauty?
Why set luminous gems into jewels?
Why trap birds in cages instead of watching them soar into the sky?
Why show off river fish in your tacky little aquarium when they could be swimming currents downstream?
Why try to change people we love and then fall out of love with them because they changed?
I believe that we spend too much of our lives trying to know and find explanations for things. Why do we have trouble accepting the unknown in our world? It might be nice to let things be sometimes. Relationships. Love. Nature. People.
Whether we know something or not, it actually does not make a difference in the larger scheme of things because however deep our knowledge might be, it is still immensely limited.
Someone has said, “Knowing, is often just a cover up. Ideas, concepts, theories or mere facts are delusion or disguises we use to hide our fear of the inexplicable. When something is accepted in its entireity as a mystery, it actually means we know it deeper and more intuitively. Somewhere within our souls we are in a mode of ‘the accepting form of knowledge’. It encompasses our being as a whole.”
It’s like magic. If you understand the way it is done, it gets reduced to a trick. Its important to let the magic be magical to enjoy it to its fullest.
Letting mystery be, requires courage and the security to live it without being afraid of the unknown.
Acceptance of mystery leads to faith in life itself without fear. Mystery allows us to have Faith and ‘feel’ our way through life instead of deconstructing it.

Like the Faith most of us have in God.
Ken Kesey puts this most aptly: “I am for mystery, not interpretive answers. The answer is never the answer. What’s really interesting is the mystery. If you seek mystery instead of the answer, you will always be seeking. I have never seen nobody really find the answer, but they think they have.
So they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.”
Or as Arthur Stanley explains it, “We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding that we must learn a great deal more about ‘and’.”
Though I am a Scorpio, I still believe that it is better to go through this life without finding an answer. Because the answer as Douglas Adams told us, could possibly be 42. And if 42 is the answer, wouldn’t that leave us a tad disappointed, to say the least.
PS: By the way, even though I believe in what I have written above, I still desperately want to know... Who let the dogs out??? Who ? Who??

Shah Rukh Khan says 'father was his favourite romantic hero'

 Shah Rukh Khan has confessed that his father has always been his favourite romantic hero.
The 48-year-old actor explained in detail the love story of his parents, when his father was 29 years old and had met his mother literally in an accident.
Once his father came across a terrible accident, where a car had crashed into one of the pillars around India Gate and had overturned, trapping the passengers inside, which included his mother, along with her sisters and father, Andpersand Magazine reported.
His father and his cousin turned the car over and pulled out the passengers, out of which his mother was the most severely injured and due to excessive loss of blood needed a transfusion and as faith had it, his father's blood matched hers and he literally saved her life.
Unfortunately his mother had temporarily lost memory of her past six months and on his grandfather's request, everyday since then his father would look after his mother and eventually fell in love with him.
When his grandfather asked his father to choose a bride from his daughters, his father simply pointed towards his mother, who was already engaged.
The family was shocked, but his father persisted. He was also a natural charmer, and above all else, he was in love.
There wasn't opposition but they did have a peculiar situation.
However, his father was an idealist, a gentle giant and he did not rush things up but gave everyone time to figure out what had to be done and thanks to his patience he was married to his mother.

`Dhoom 3` a copy of Hollywood movie 'Now You See Me'



`Dhoom 3` trailer which was released on Wednesday has many shots lifted from the Hollywood movie 'Now you see me'.

Farah, SRK protective over me like parents: Deepika

Actress Deepika Padukone says filmmaker Farah Khan and actor Shah Rukh Khan are protective about her like parents. Deepika made her Bollywood debut with Farah’s Om Shanti Om opposite Shah Rukh. She recently worked with him in ‘Chennai Express’, which was a huge hit at the box office. Now, she is paired opposite the Shah Rukh for the third time in Farah Khan’s ‘Happy New Year’. “It’s a lot of fun. I am surrounded by mad people like Farah, Shah Rukh, Abhishek, Boman, Sonu Sood and Vivan. They pamper me because Vivan and me are the youngest in the crew,” Deepika said at the unveiling of Star week magazine yesterday.





“Both Farah and Shah Rukh feel protective (about me) like proud parents. I can see now Farah is letting me be on my own. In the Dubai schedule, she told me I really had to teach you everything, but now I don’t have to tell you anything. You manage on your own,” she said. In her recent blockbuster ‘Chennai Express’, Deepika got more appreciation than Shah Rukh. “I remember he did an interview before the release of the film and said that I was the soul of the film. I thought he was being too generous at that time. It feels nice to hear these things but if people have appreciated my performance, I would give him a lot of credit for it,” she said. “It would be very selfish of me to say I have done this on my own. You are not alone in front of the camera, you are reacting to somebody. So it’s as much his success as it is mine,” Deepika said. The actress will also be seen in Homi Adjania’s ‘Finding Fanny‘, an English film set in Goa, for which she has finished shooting. It was little strange for her to be working with Arjun Kapoor. “I’ve known him for many many years. I’ve known him when he was that fat kid, he was a part of my group of friends. I never knew he would be a part of the industry one day, so it’s a little surreal. Having said that, I am extremely proud and feel very happy for him,” she added

Shah Rukh Khan Announces SRK Live in Concert in Dubai !

Shah Rukh Khan sure loves Dubai! SRK, who's been shooting for Farah Khan's 'Happy New Year' in Dubai since 1 September 2013, has officially announced his Access All Areas – SRK Live in Concert show in Dubai. And we can reveal that Shah Rukh's 'Chennai Express' and 'Happy New Year' co-star Deepika Padukone will be part of the show!

Access All Areas – SRK Live in Concert will take place on 1 December at the Dubai Internatıonal Crıcket Stadıum, which has a capacity to accommodate 25,000 people. We're thinking a whole lot of SRK fans!  


The show will be SRK's first live concert in Dubai since 2008. 

So what's going to be the most unique aspect of this Shah Rukh Khan show in Dubai? Well, leading up to the show, there will be contests conducted via different media, where people can win a chance to be on stage with Shah Rukh Khan and the other stars! Plus, fans will also be picked to get onstage during the show! 

Want backstage access to the stars at Access All Areas - SRK Live in Concert? That'll happen too, with the same mechanism! 

Over to Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone to dish some more on what you can expect from the concert! 

Deepika revealed that she was doing the show to learn from Shah Rukh. Ever the gentleman (and the wit), SRk said, "Deepika takes one day to learn what it takes me 30 days to learn," talking about the rehearsals.  

So who else is going to be joining them on the rehearsals and for the show? Deepika was coy, saying "I'm not allowed to say who the other performers are [yet]. To which Shah Rukh quipped, "She's on probation, she'll be fired if she answers this." 

SRK was also quizzed about this press meet (on Sunday 15 September) being his second press conference in quick succession in Dubai (following the 'Happy New Year' press conference on Thursday 12 September). Was he already going all out to market his movie? "Is it a bad thing to market your movie? We don't do press conferences for marketing. You'll have to wait and watch what I do to market my movie. I'm a marketing Einstein!" 

We can't wait to watch what Einstein Shah Rukh Khan comes up with! Watch this space for updates!

BIRTHDAY SPECIAL: Shah Rukh Khan Means Love. Real Love.

What's the one probable thing linking a German schoolteacher, a Russian industrialist, an Indian student and a Dutch painter? What could such diverse people, from 
What's the one probable thing linking a German school teacher, a Russian industrialist, an Indian student and a Dutch painter? What could such diverse people, from completely different walks of life, milieu and geographical locations possibly have in common? The answer, most probably, is a love for Bollywood, and for one man in particular… Shah Rukh Khan.

Shah Rukh Khan. The man who literally came from nowhere, and soon enough took over one of the biggest film industries in the world: Bollywood. A man whose charisma, wit and charm is unparalleled. A man whose mere mention causes worldwide frenzy.

A man like no other…
My love affair with films and Shah Rukh Khan in particular (both are synonymous, see) began nearly two decades ago. I remember watching 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge' at the tender, impressionable young age of five at Mumbai's Eros theatre; staring with rapt attention and wide-eyed wonder at the screen. The object of my affections was a scrawny, brown, unconventionally handsome and heroic young man.
Whatever the hero, Raj Malhotra (the excellent Shah Rukh Khan, personifying love itself) did, I lapped up hungrily. When he stared deeply into Simran's eyes – I sighed. When he smiled his eyebrow-bouncing, dimpled smile- my heart beat just a little bit quicker. My pulse raced as he single-handedly fought off the villain's goons, getting soaked with ketchup-consistency blood in the process. My fuzzy, childlike brain did its rendition of "Aww!" when he, bloody and battered, allowed his amour to hug him despite the act causing him much physical pain. When he recited those saccharine sweet dialogues highlighting the Indian morality, my mind concurred without question.
To my naiive five-year-old self, Shah Rukh Khan WAS love. He stirred emotions in me I didn't quite know how to express at the time. All I knew was, "Mummy: Shah Rukh Khan my faaaavourite hero!" Little did I know that that meant I was already in love. At the age of five.

Cut to a year later, I had the immense good fortune of meeting the man! In the flesh!
My family was out to dinner at one of Mumbai's most posh Chinese restaurants (Nelson Wong's China Garden, in case anyone was wondering). Just as we were done with our meal, and exiting the restaurant, in walked Shah Rukh Khan and his entourage of friends. Dressed in all-black, the minute SRK stepped into the restaurant, there was a palpable air of excitement. A gaggle of kids, myself included, raced to where he stood, eager to get closer to the man we all idolised.
Shah Rukh Khan, ever the charmer, interacted with each young person; chatting with us, smiling, laughing, teasing us as he signed our autographs (too bad there were no camera phones and instagram to document this historic moment) When my turn came, Shah Rukh Khan – the man of my dreams, the hero I'd fallen so hopelessly in love with – smiled at me and asked for my name to sign on an white tissue napkin clutched in my expectant but tight fist. I blurted out the name my parents had so lovingly chosen for me; but in all my shyness, it had sounded something like"Nnnnnphhh!" SRK chuckled, kneeled down, and whispered to me: "Darling, tell me your name so I can sign this autograph for you and you alone."
I melted.
He gave me a reassuring smile. Looking deep into his chocolate brown eyes, those S-shaped eyebrows arching above them like a gilt-edged frame on a lifetime masterpiece painting; I said my name, loudly and clearly. Even spelt it out for him so there was no ambiguity. Shah Rukh Khan scrawled his famous moniker at the bottom of the note, looked up at me and gave me the widest grin. He then ruffled my hair, and I swear I felt like time had just stood still.
I didn't wash my hair for a month.
Real People. Real Love.
Like me, there are countless other people whose lives SRK has touched, in some way or another. And our lives are all the better for it…
Manisha Kumar, Netherlands-based student:
"Dearest SRK,
First of all, I'd like to wish you a veryyyyyy happy birthday. I know getting messages from fans isn't something new, but I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the movies you've acted in, for the zillion of interviews you've given, for being the awesome person you are. I love you so much, I can't even describe in words.. I just feel it. You genuinely make me happy. Thank you so much. Itni shiddat se aapko paani ki koshish ki, lekin kisi bhi zarre ne hummein milane ki saazish nai ki. But, one day. I'm sure.
Wish you tons of happiness, more blockbusters, much love. I love you a lot."
Supriya Dhurka, Bangalore-based banker:
"Shah Rukh Khan is someone whom I have loved since the time I have known the meaning of bollywood…someone who made me go awwww with the 1st time I saw him in front of me by sneaking into a tv shoot….my all time love shahrukh khan who will be with me forever<3 thanks a lot for that charm and make us believe in love and beautiful life since our childhood :d"
Gaurav Sondhi, marketing head of a Dubai-based company:
"Dear SRK. Every once in a while one person inspires another to do something great. Very rarely does one person inspire a billion plus. Thank u and happy birthday"
Divya Anand, Bangalore-based soon-to-be-bride:
"Shah Rukh Khan: I love you.. PLEASEEEE come for my wedding!"
Runcil Rebello, Mumbai-based writer:
"Here's wishing @iamsrk a very happy birthday, on the same day that I celebrate mine. Wish you the best of luck ahead!"
Kkanchan Mittal, Delhi-based PR firm employee:
"Well, he was standing next to me at an airport. He found me cute and pulled my cheeks, only to let go off me as my mom appeared.. since he was smoking alongside and mom didn't like that. The sad thing- it happened when I was just a couple of years old, having no memories of it, of course. But I wish if this incident happens now. I'd be over the moon. :D Oh yes, he was shooting for Baazigar that time! :D "
Manisha Katti, Bangalore-based student (whose birthday, incidentally, is just a day before Shah Rukh Khan's):
"I really love you, SRK! Want to meet you at least once in my life and hug you!! Happy birthday, may God bless you with everything you want in life. Lots of love!"
"Itni shiddat se maine tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai.. ke har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai… Kehte hain, kisi cheez ko agar dil se chaho, toh poori Qaaynaat usse tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai."
Come on, Universe! Do your thing! Bring Shah Rukh Khan to me, to you and to all of us.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAH RUKH KHAN! WE LOVE YOU, WE ALWAYS DID AND WE ALWAYS WILL
