Amar Talks About Shahrukh Khan's Love for 'Bombay Billionaire'

Recently Amar has been busy promoting her new album "Show It Off" and it seems like she sexy songstress has caught Shahrukh Khan's attention!

We caught up with Amar to talk about her trip and SRK's love!

DH!: You have been traveling in India to promote your album "Shot It Off," how has the trip been? Were you able to take in any sites or explore the night life?

Amar: I wish! I literally had no time to do anything like sightseeing or partying out there, my schedule was so packed. I would wake up, eat my toast or my masala dosa, and head out to interviews, TV and radio. The traffic in Mumbai and Delhi is horrendous so I'd be stuck on the road for a lot of the day going in between places. Then back to the hotel to sleep and back on the road again early in the morning. The trip mission was getting my album out there, and doing lots of interviews, so the mission was successful. The Indian press and media were lovely to me.... All of the interviews are going to be aired in March.

DH!: Were there any artists or actors/actresses you were able to meet up with during the trip?

Amar: There was no sign of them...I thought I would at least see Salman Khan going for a run on the beach or Shahrukh Khan's laundry hanging out to dry, as we were staying very close to their homes, but no sign of any of them...I couldn't believe it. Actually I did meet Madhavan in the Radio 1 studios in Mumbai one of the days I went in for an interview, he was looking a little stressed...and one night I performed at Prive which is a Mumbai club for the 'cool' kids in town, and I saw Aditya Narayan in the crowd having a little dance. It was my last trip to India when I was able to meet up with more people, that trip I met Abhishek Bachchan and Sunil Shetty, who are both extremely charming!

DH!: How did Shahrukh Khan come across your music?

Amar: I had heard that Nihal was going to interview SRK, before the show took place, and that his plans were to play him four songs from his Radio 1 show to see what he thought of them, eventually asking him to pick a favorite. I know that one of the songs that he was going to play to him was "Bombay Billionaire." I missed the show as I was in India when it aired, but I heard it online the other day.

DH!: What did Shahrukh have to say about "Bombay Billionaire?"

Amar: He asked Nihal if I had an album out, then said he thought the track was awesome and cool and that he wanted to meet me...he then chose the track as one of his favorites out of the tracks played to him! Sweet eh?

DH!: How does it feel to hear such praise from an actor like SRK?

Amar: I do have mountains of respect for him and his artistry so it was great to hear him show respect to mine...but of course, whoever is praising you, SRK, one of your fans, your family, or WHOEVER, it always feels good to be praised, right? But yeah, I am a fan of SRK, a big fan, so it felt pretty amazing!

Well Amar is truly busy as she is sharing her music with the world. Who would have thought that King Khan was a fan of Urban Desi tunes? Maybe it was the addition of Sonu Niigaam on "Bombay Billionaire" that did it! If you haven't already checked out Amar's album, check it out here and be sure to buy it on iTunes.

Shah Rukh Khan: 'My job is to make people smile'

Putting a smile on millions of faces is all just part of a day's work for the reigning king of Bollywood.

"I truly believe my job is to make sure people smile. I have no self-centeredness or ego about being a movie star," Shah Rukh Khan said recently.

He may have simple intentions, but Khan, the world's most popular film star, has stirred controversy at home lately, which has entangled his newest film, "My Name is Khan."

Backed by Hollywood studio Twentieth Century Fox, the film, which examines racial profiling in the United States in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, is one of the few Bollywood movies to be distributed widely outside of India.

What's more, it has had some serious crossover success.

The movie had its European premiere at the Berlin Film Festival and has been released in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Singapore and Indonesia. In the United Kingdom, it set a box office record -- the biggest opening weekend ever for a Bollywood film.

"I really want everyone to be happy when they see my film," Khan, who has inspired hero worship among fans around the world, said on the sidelines of the Berlin festival.

But the movie, a love story that advocates tolerance and understanding, ironically has become the victim of division in India after protests triggered in Mumbai earlier this month.

Members of far-right Hindu nationalist political party, Shiv Sena protested the opening of the film after Khan, a Muslim, expressed disappointment that no Pakistani players were selected for the Indian Premier League (IPL), the country's wealthiest cricket league.

Khan told reporters that he didn't want to cause any problems or stress with his comments. He said he gets very "disturbed and scared and emotionally hurt when things like this happen."

Despite the shadow cast by the protests, "My Name is Khan" has been a draw at the box office. In less than two weeks, it's taken in $6.3 million worldwide, with nearly half of that coming from foreign ticket sales, according to Web site Boxofficemojo.com.

Khan plays a Muslim with Asperger syndrome, a mild form of autism, who is detained by U.S. authorities. A hero with a Forrest Gump-like simplicity, he sets out on a journey across the United States after the love of his life tells him to find the president and tell him that he is not a terrorist.
...I believe we need to just let everyone not be judged in terms of religion, groups or nations or region.
--Shah Rukh Khan

The success of "My Name is Khan" is a testament to the far-ranging star power of the 44-year-old actor, whose global fan following also reflects the growing reach of Bollywood films.

Described by some as India's Brad Pitt, Khan made a name for himself with his first full-length movie "Deewana" in 1992. Khan's so well known in India that he's often referred to simply by his initials, SRK.

"My Name is Khan" reunites the star with female Bollywood star, Kajol, who plays the love interest. Karan Johar directs. He and Khan have collaborated on several projects in the past.

Khan said he hopes his the movie will help change practices such as racial profiling -- a procedure he is familiar with through personal experience.

The star said he's resigned to being routinely questioned in airports, which he says is a sign of the times. "This is the world we have created. We are all paranoid of each other," he said.

But he also wants to challenge those notions with his new drama.

"I know it's very idealistic and utopian, but I believe we need to just let everyone not be judged in terms of religion, groups or nations or region."

"My Name is Khan" may be naive, but the actor said, "that's what's the most beautiful part of the film. It's like your children, it's simple and it's innocent."

...I believe we need to just let everyone not be judged in terms of religion, groups or nations or region.
--Shah Rukh Khan

Khan was stopped and questioned by immigration officials at New Jersey's Newark International Airport in August, an international incident that grabbed headlines.

Khan turning out a blockbuster

Despite the controversy surrounding Shah Rukh Khan's latest film, My Name Is Khan, the film is turning out to be a box office dynamo globally.

In its opening weekend only, the film is estimated to have raked in an amount that only a few films in Bollywood have managed.

In North America, the movie broke the record for the highest-earning Hindi film in the opening weekend, making $1,86-million (R14,3m).

The previous largest grosser in North America was SRK's movie Om Shanti Om at $1,76m in 2007.

Mnik, distributed by the Fox Searchlight and directed by Karan Johar, managed $15 500 from each of the 120 theatres across the US and Canada over a three-day weekend.

Though the latest figures are not in, the film is believed to have broken the $2m mark.

Khan is said to have delivered one of the most powerful performances of his career in a tear-jerker drama portraying an autistic man who sets out to meet the president of the US.


The film also stars Kajol, with whom Khan has previously shared the screen.

It has received rave reviews from critics worldwide - seen as one of the contributors to the film's success.

Locally, Mnik is also said to be making a strong box office showing. A B Moosa of the Avalon Group, a major Bollywood distributor in South Africa, said that film had exceeded expectations.

"It's in its third week now and the response has been very positive," Moosa said.

"It's one of the biggest Bollywood hits to come to South Africa in recent times," he added.

My Name Is Khan is now on at selected theatres across the country.
