Shah Rukh Khan takes time off from Twitter

Bollywood badshah Shah Rukh Khan has almost vanished into thin air from Twitter for over one and a half month. Buzz has it that SRK prefers to keep a low profile instead of hitting back at his detractors.


Apparently, SRK's last tweet was on his birthday November 2 - "Birthday with the babies at the shoot in Berlin."

Ever since then, King Khan is on a sabbatical for the actor has taken time off from Twitter. It is believed that SRK wants to avoid any questions relating to 'Tees Maar Khan' and once thick friend Farah Khan.

While talking to a daily, a close source to the actor said, "Shah Rukh had been receiving a lot of negative comments lately. He was upset and hurt as a result. And that is why he has withdrawn. He preferred to lie low instead of hitting back through the micro blogging site. Also, he doesn`t believe in blocking people who post negative comments but he is in a headspace where he doesn`t want any kind of negativity."

Well, in an upcoming episode of 'Koffee With Karan', SRK confessed that, "I feel love from lakhs of people but there are lots of people who say rude things about my family and friends and that hurts me. I don`t want to read those things, so I am staying away from Twitter."

Meanwhile, an insider who was also present at the shoot of 'Koffee With Karan' added, "SRK`s show is totally non-controversial. It is like no other episode of KWK. He spoke about love, friends, family and it got really emotional. Most people on the set were dewy-eyed while filming, including the host."

The episode will be airing on January 1, 2011.

Shah Rukh Khan Gets Fitness Conscious For Ra.One

The King Khan of Bollywood still has more to learn even after an extremely successful career spanning more than two decades. According to reports in the media, Shah Rukh Khan will learn gymnastics for his 2011 Diwali release Ra.One. It is true that SRK is known for his romantic appearances onscreen, but this time he wants to do something never seen before in his forthcoming home production Ra.One for which he is presently taking fitness lessons from physiotherapist Dr Ali Irani, the man who is known to have trained the Indian cricket team as well.

Reports from the sets of Ra.One claim that Shah Rukh Khan will not only be performing gymnastics through the course of the science fiction film, the actor will also perform some trapeze stunts for a song sequence. And the key to performing these difficult stunts is gymnastics, feels the actor. The special song sequence will have stunts, a horde of girls, a circus set and a fully clothed Shah Rukh Khan! Contrary to reports which suggested that SRK will again appear shirtless in Ra.One like he did for Om Shanti Om, director Anubhav Sinha has said in a statement to the media that Shah Rukh Khan will not remove his clothes.

Ra.One is definitely one of the most awaited releases of 2011 and with so much preparation going into the film by Shah Rukh Khan, his fans are waiting with bated breath for the film to hit the theaters.

Priyanka in awe of Shahrukh Khan

Bitchy Actress has been rushed to the hospital. She had a rage attack after seeing Priyanka Chopra on Koffee With Karan on Sunday night. The fake filmi sharmaana every time KJo mentioned Shah Rukh Khan was just too much for her to handle.

She ringed us from the hospital bed to say, "PC is clearly stuck in the Meena Kumari era. Someone please teach her how to blush. That coy act of hers — covering her face and lowering her eyes — was just so fake, it'll take me a month to recover."We are as saddened by the news of our friend's hospitalisation as we are with the fact that we can't see Pranks' live act on the sets of Don 2. How does Farhan Akhtar get any work done when his leading lady swoons every time someone asks her about SRK!?

Meanwhile…

On the show, Karan Johar had asked PC to name one actor whose laptop she would like to steal. Her answer was : Kareena Kapoor, but I wonder if she knows how to use one. Later, Pranks got cold feet and asked the host to delete it from the show.

Also…

PC's bias against Akshay Kumar showed clearly when she named him last on the Best Actor list, as well as the Sexiest Actor list. Itna gussa ab tak?!

And…

No one was surprised when she named Shahid Kapur as number one actor in the league of Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor — that one we will give her. But she also named him the sexiest. Erm...

SRK to romance Tamil girl

If his novel '3 Mistakes of my life' is in the pre-production stages of an upcoming Bollywood movie, his recent novel '2 states' is already grabbing attention.

SRK supports Salman's 'blue eyed girl'!

SRK and Sonakshi SinhaMore Pics

Shah Rukh Khan met Sonakshi Sinha at a recent event and encouraged the youngster...

Seems like with every passing day, Shah Rukh and Salman are inching a bit closer in an attempt to mend their broken friendship in the New Year.

Gauri Khan attended Sohail Khan's birthday bash last week and was even seen chatting with Salman. At an event in honour of the Mumbai Police, 'Umang' Shah Rukh took a rare step too. He met up Salman's blue eyed girl Sonakshi Sinha and encouraged the youngster by appreciating her work in Dabangg.

Everyone had an impression that Shah Rukh would give Sonakshi a cold shoulder since she was launched by Salman and has been his loyal friend since then.

"Shah Rukh showed no resentment towards Sonakshi because she belongs to Salman's camp. He was extremely sweet with her. His gesture impressed everyone around" revealed an onlooker present at the event.

It must be recalled that Salman too had appreciated Shah Rukh for launching Deepika Padukone in Om Shanti Om. He had said in a tv interview, "If a new actress succeeds, her entire family gets settled and its always good to give new talent a chance. Shah Rukh worked with Deepika in OSO and more established actors should follow suit."

Seems like the New year might finally mend the differences brewing between the two Khans.

Friendly Exchanges Between Shah Rukh Khan And Akon

Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan knows well how to spell the magic on others with his charms and he has done the same on American rapper Akon, who has recorded some songs for his upcoming sci-fi movie Ra.One.

King Khan has been quite friendly with the international star and Akon has even promised to give him some rapping tips. However, this bonding is mutual because Shah Rukh has also promised him to give some Hindi lessons. Well, Akon has already captured the language so well that we don't think he needs any teachings from SRK.

Akon has reportedly recorded some songs with enough Hindi lyrics and he has done it without much effort. It may be because of the teachings from King Khan that his Hindi lines were very clear and sounded as good as his English words.

Ra.One has total 10 tracks, composed by music director duo Vishal and Shekhar, who have promised to offer a kind of global music that has never heard in Indian cinema before. With Akon behind the mike, we are all bound to believe their claims.

Moreover, the director Anubhav Sinha has a good sense of ragas, melody and rhythm and SRK has also shown keen interest in the international music so we can expect rocking number in Ra.One.
