SRK defends his Knight Riders!

Passion could well be Shah Rukh Khan’s middle name.

Be it his films or his IPL franchisee Knight Riders, SRK puts his mouth where his heart is. Like in this interview to BT hours after the Knight Riders scored their first points in IPL-II on Tuesday, after winning against Kings XI Punjab courtesy the Duckworth-Lewis method.

The turning point in that match, feels SRK, was that the entire team got into the act. “Dada getting quick wickets, Ishant Sharma doing his bit, and then Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum coming out and batting like that, it was heartening to see the team supporting one another,” says SRK. But even as he states that the Knight Riders were “deserving winners”, he admits that the Knights are also “spirited losers”. “We were cold at the start of the tournament,” SRK says it as it is, when asked about the team’s dismal first performance against Team Hyderabad, “but the first few matches are all about team building and team strengthening, and we’re getting there.”

Over to the team. Is there additional pressure on the Knights to perform, considering the team has been mired in controversies from the start? “What everyone says need not always be true. We have a thought process behind our decisions, be it the multi-captain theory or the change of captain. We aren’t bothered by controversy, in fact, it brings us closer, binds us more, when the world puts us down, we find confidence and support in each other. We stick to what we believe in, we Knights are married to each other,” says the ever-positive Khan.

The Knights will play against last year’s champs Team Rajasthan today, tough match? “Each match is tough, because the pitches are unknown to us. But we’ll give Shane Warne and his team an entertaining fight!” promises SRK.
But the Bollywood star has a peculiar dilemma — he was born in Delhi, works in Mumbai and owns a Kolkata franchisee — how does he balance his loyalties?

“Kolkata is my playground, Mumbai, my home. It just shows I’m a true Indian, a walking, talking epitome of being a true Indian!” he laughs. But despite being the owner of the team, SRK knows when to step back and let others do the talking.

“When it comes to cricket, I am also an outsider. I let those who know the game make the decisions. I don’t know if a decision is good or bad, but I will support it nonetheless. I treat my team like I treat my children, and fans should support us in good times and bad. It should be from the heart...”

No wonder, then, that King Khan is their Knight in shining armour!

Sanjay Dutt - Salman Khan war just got hotter

It seems Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt’s friendship has gone kaput. It is believed that the two actors are not in talking terms. Interestingly, Salman who is busy in campaigning for all his friends is not supporting Sanjay.

By campaigning for Sanjay’s sister Priya Dutt, Salman has proved that he is no more friends with Sanjay. Interestingly during his campaign Salman has always said that he is supporting his friends and good people. Does that mean Sanjay is not his friend anymore? Ahem!

When asked about it, Dharam Oberoi Business Manager of Sanjay Dutt informed that Sanjay didn’t approach Salman or anyone to campaign for him. He quickly replied, “No he hasn’t and he will never do that as Sanjay himself is a big star and he doesn’t need any actor to campaign for him.”

It can be recalled that Salman refused to be part of Sanjay’s home production film which rubbed him the wrong side. Since then the once good friends have swapped all ties!

Purab Kohli swims with sharks

Bollywood actor Purab Kohli decided to take a trip down the wild side by diving into the great blue ocean in South Africa in the company of sharks - an experience he describes as the "most thrilling and scary moment" of his life.

While on a recent visit to South Africa, Purab, a trained deep sea diver, took a plunge into the ocean.

"I decided to do something different and went for this special tour. Soon I found myself in a cage which was attached to the boat. They put out a bait of flesh and blood and before we knew it I was surrounded by these gigantic creatures about 15 feet long," Purab said in a press release.

"As they drew close to the bait, the bait was pulled closer to me. Needless to say the sharks followed.

"Soon the great white hungry shark was barely 12 inches away from me and when she bit into that piece of meat I could see her saw-like teeth in full close up! So there I was, suspended in a cage deep down in the blue sea while this giant creature had lunch right next to my face! It was the most thrilling and scary moment of my life," he recounted.

The actor, who won rave reviews for his performance in hit film "Rock On!!", says he would love to experience such thrills again.

"She was so beautiful and scary at the same time. The shark was so close to me, it seemed she could kill me in a single bite with that jagged line of teeth. I am definitely looking forward to doing this again and recommend it to all," he said.

Shahid gets Priyanka off booze

After her recent health scare, when she was admitted to hospital for a stomach infection, Priyanka Chopra has been strictly asked to go off alcohol. However, it’s not just the doctors but her boyfriend as well who has imposed this on her. Priyanka, who enjoys a drink or two occasionally, has been instructed by Shahid Kapur not touch alcohol for a while.



A source reveals, “Everyone close to PC know that she likes to drink. She never overdoes it, but when with close friends, she loves to have a glass of wine or champagne. But after she started dating Shahid, he disapproved of her taking to alcohol. Since he’s a strict vegetarian and doesn’t touch alcohol, he expects Priyanka to do the same.”

When Priyanka, also called Piggychops, was admitted to Dhirubhai Ambani complaining of food poisoning and stomach infection, Shahid was worried that it was be aggravated by alcohol. And he stepped in.

“Shahid had been advising Priyanka not to overstress herself. However, since she had given dates for Gowariker’s What’s Your Rashee?, there was no way she could back out. Shahid has also been asking Priyanka to start meditating and yoga as means to keep her mind relaxed.”

While Priyanka understands medicine - her father is a doctor - she has bowed to Shahid's wishes.

Interestingly, Shahid was also responsibe for Kareena turning vegetarian. “Shahid has the habit of imposing his lifestyle on people close to him. Earlier it was Bebo and now he’s doing the same with Priyanka. Even though Priyanka has promised she will give up alcohol, only time will tell if she actually sticks to his ultimatum!”
