SRK-Gauri's 'Dabangg' time (srkthedon.blogspot.com)

All of the world's watching Salman Khan's blockbuster 'Dabangg' and Shah Rukh Khan's family is no different. It seems that SRK and wife Gauri both had special screenings of 'Dabangg' organised at Mannat, their home in Mumbai.

Apparently, SRK himself requested the first screening - no, he didn't call up Salman, or even his brother Arbaaz Khan, who produced 'Dabangg'. He wrote to the production company Ashtavinayak to organise a screening. But of course producer Arbaaz's permission was required for it, which he gladly gave.

Then it was Gauri's turn. We hear SRK's biwi called up Arbaaz's wife Malaika Arora Khan to organise a screening for her kids Aryan and Suhana. Once again, Arbaaz organised it.

Wonder what SRK and family thought of Chulbul Pandey and family? Will SRK get in touch with Sallu to share his feedback, even after that comment from the 'Dabangg' star that the two can never get together? Watch this space for updates.

Check Out: SRK and Gauri shoot for D'decor furnishing brand (srkthedon.blogspot.com)

Shah Rukh Khan has to his credit countless brand endorsements and has been seen in several TV commercials. However, his endorsement of leading furnishing brand D'decor is extra-special as it also features his wifey dearest Gauri Khan. Only recently the husband-wife duo launched D'decor's latest furnishing line at a grand press conference in Mumbai.

While the ads are yet to be seen, SRK has posted a pic from the ad shoot on Twitter. Says the actor, "Got a pic from the d decor shoot...the furnishing is awesome...the wife looks fine too."

We are sure like all his previous commercials, this one too will be loved by millions of SRK fans.

A prayer meeting held for Bobby father-in-law

"I'm too old to work in films" - Gauri Khan

Gauri has her doubts about B'wood, but she is teaming up with Shah Rukh for an ad

Shah Rukh Khan's wife Gauri, who is considered a super stylish and glam celeb spouse, feels she is too old to get into films.

"I am quite old now. Had I been young, I would have done one," Gauri told Shah Rukh when he asked her if she would work in films as well.

She said this at an event on August 26 to annouce them as the brand ambassadors of D'Décor, the world's third largest furnishing company.

This is the first time that Shah Rukh and Gauri have teamed up for an ad.

"I feel very humble and happy when any company signs me as their brand ambassador and so I am very happy to be part of D'Décor," Shah Rukh said after he and his wife were officially declared the brand ambassadors.

Gauri added: "I haven't worked so hard ever, so after working for two long days, I slept last two days. It was a fantastic experience."

Shah Rukh, known as a caring husband and father, was quite attentive at the event and made sure Gauri was comfortable. He helped Gauri in holding the microphone properly so that the media could hear whatever little she had to say.

Ajay Arora, managing director of D'Décor, decided to sign them as brand ambassadors because he felt they were the best examples of perfect homemakers.

"We thought that apart from being celebrities, Shah Rukh and Gauri have made a wonderful home, both by decor and feeling, so we decided to make them brand ambassadors of the company," said Arora.

Shahrukh's father-in-law in hospital (srkthedon.blogspot.com)

Shah Rukh Khan's father-in-law R P Chhiba has been admitted to a hospital in Delhi after a possible heart attack. SRK and Gauri flew to Delhi on hearing the news, and are with him now.

It seems Gauri's dad was in a very serious condition when he was taken to the hospital but is thought to be doing better now.

SRK confirmed this by posting on his Twitter page, "Father in law better. He is a tough army man. Matters of the heart complicated but not unsurmountable for him. inshaallah will be fit soon."

He added, "Mind and heart a bit heavy...will be back later. thanx for ur wishes...love to all."

SRK and Gauri are both originally from Delhi, and Gauri's family is still settled there. On his trips to the city, SRK often talks about his close bond with the place. Gauri's family being there surely adds to his connection, and we hope all is perfectly well with them soon.

The first wives' club

Sussanne Roshan played peacemaker between Gauri and Twinkle at a party on Friday

At Rock On!! director Abhishek Kapoor's birthday (August 6) party last week, Sussanne (Hrithik) Roshan played peacemaker between star wives Gauri and Twinkle.

Says an eyewitness at Abhishek aka Gattu's party, "Twinkle was sitting in a corner with a group of friends that included Bobby Deol's wife Tanya. Suzy (as her friends call her) and Gauri were on the dance floor."

Mrs Roshan has become part of  Mrs Khan's girl gang in the last one year and their husbands too have become friends. Meanwhile, the friction between King Khan and Khiladi Kumar is legendary. The line between friends, filmmakers and cliques are clearly marked and the line is never crossed. Enter do-gooder Sussanne.

When Mrs Roshan, who has been friends with Twinkle for years spotted her across the room, she rushed to greet her and drag her to meet SRK's biwi. Though Gauri and Tina are both close to industrialist Sunny Dewan's wife Anu, they've maintained an icy distance from each other.

The source adds, "However Sussanne wants her two fav gal pals to bond and decided to do her bit to make this possible. Initially, there was an awkward silence between Mrs K and Mrs K, but by the end of the evening, they were chatting warmly."

Much later, Akki's biwi joined her friends and then exited the party. Gauri remained behind with Bhavna (Chunky) Pandey and left for home at 4 am. But this doesn't mean T and G are the new BFFs in town.

An insider explains, "The rivalry between their husbands will ensure that never happens. Also fashion mags often compare them to each other, so there is some weird competition going on between them. But as long as they can manage to be cordial with each other, it will make common friends happy so they don't have to choose and prove their loyalty."

Other guests at the party included Dino Morea-Nandita Mahtani and Arjun Rampal-Mehr Jessia.

SRK and Gauri to shoot an ad together

Shah Rukh Khan has revealed that he is shooting for an advertisement with his wife Gauri, who usually likes to remain away from the spotlight.

"I am shooting an advert with Gauri for a fantastic furnishing brand called D decor, very nervous, hope it turns out well," Shah Rukh posted on his Twitter page.

The duo has been happily married for the past 19 years. They have two children - Aryan and Suhana.

SRK-Gauri to do a TV Commercial

Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri will soon appear in a television commercial for a furnishing brand. This is the first time the star couple will be seen in an advertisement together. The advert will be directed by Sunhil Sippy.

Other star couples who have been seen in ads together are Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, John Abraham and Bipasha Basu, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Akshay Kumar and Twinkle.

Khans, Roshans bonding continues

The Gauri Khan-Sussanne Roshan bonding continues. And this time they were actually bonding at London’s Old Bond Street.

These two superstar wives were dressed in their designer best, and each of them was carrying enough bags to break a donkey’s back. Unfortunately there are no mules in London, so Gauri and Sussanne were lugging their own plastic sacks laden with the most expensive stuff that the London stores stock.

Hrithik, who is wrapping up his shoot in Spain, is expected to join Sussanne, Gauri and Shah Rukh in London any day now. The Khans and the Roshans are expected to party hard. This is the lifestyle of Bollywood’s rich and famous.

Shahrukh Khan met popstar Shakira

SRK and family were smitten with the 'gorgeous and gracious' popstar

The whole world is smitten with pop diva Shakira and so is our Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Describing her as "gorgeous and gracious", SRK says he was bowled over by her in South Africa during the just-concluded FIFA World Cup 2010.

"Gorgeous, gracious and absolutely heartwarming Shakira. (She) was so nice to the kids. We are (her) fans for life," Shah Rukh posted on his Twitter page.

The actor even posted a casual picture as well as a family photograph with Shakira.

"...she was so humble and so real. That's why she is such a rockstar...said my name with a beautiful accent too. Have never been more excited to meet a rockstar...the wife and daughter adore her...so do the father and son," he added.

Shah Rukh then posted a tweet to Shakira. It read - "Thank you so much for your graciousness. You are a fabulous star. The kids think of me as a big hero now. May god bless you. Love, Srk."

Shah Rukh, along with his wife Gauri children - Aryan and Suhana - are in South Africa for a vacation and accomodated the FIFA World Cup too. Besides attending the finals and meeting Shakira, the family also enjoyed a night safari and saw all kinds of animals.

Shah Rukh, Hrithik to come together for film

The will act in it and produce the movie too

Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan are set to come together in a film after almost a decade.

The last time they were seen together was in Karan Johar’s “Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham”, which became a super hit.

While the industry has been divided in two groups because of the fight between SRK and Salman Khan, the close bond between Gauri Khan and Sussanne Roshan has brought out a great friendship between their husbands, Shah Rukh and Hrithik.

Apparently, they have come very close personally and are now taking their friendship to the next level. They are planning a joint production which will star both of them in the lead.

Their companies Red Chillies and Film Kraft are collaborating for a movie. The film will be directed by Rakesh Roshan.

This bonding is likely to come as a big shock to anti SRK brigade – Salman, Akshay Kumar, Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgn.

Karan Johar debuts as designer

His glamorous collection targeted the young

As Bollywood star couple Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri sashayed down the ramp together for the grand finale of the HDIL India Couture Week, they stole hearts with their chemistry.

This was the first time the star couple walked together on the ramp for their friend and filmmaker Karan Johar who in collaboration with designer Varun Bahl presented his men's wear collection on Friday (Oct 16).

Apart from them, Bollywood's young brigade, Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, also strutted down the ramp.

Cheering for all of them were Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, Preity Zinta, Kajol, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor, Yash Chopra, Jaya Bachchan, Anupam Kher and Uday Chopra.

"Oh, they looked wonderful together. It didn't look like Gauri was walking the ramp for the first time, as she was walking with confidence. It was a great show," Deepika told IANS.

Johar's collection was glamorous and targeted at today's young generation.

"The line is basically formal but has a rock star feel to it. But it is completely wearable," said Johar.

Black dominated the colour palette and the line had everything, from stylish shirts, sherwanis, coats to hot-pants, slim fit trousers and waistcoats.

The duo had also designed shoes and bags to go with the collection.

Happy Father's Day

Enough of yummy mummies! On the eve of Father’s Day, We takes a look at the yummy, drool-worthy daddies of B-town.

Aamir Khan: His charming and youthful appearance belies the fact that he is father to teenaged children Junaid and Ira with ex wife Reena. He is going to become a daddy for the third time as Kiran Rao is expecting. The star used to attend his children’s school functions and regularly takes off on holidays with them.

Hrithik Roshan: With his green eyes, defined features and muscular frame, Hrithik Roshan is India’s Adonis. He married his childhood sweetheart Sussanne in 2000. The yummy daddy who is still a child at a heart, is the father of 3 year old Rehaan and 1 year old Hridhaan.

Amitabh Bachchan: He maybe 65, but the acting powerhouse is one of the classiest and most stylish actors we have around. No one commands respect the way he does.

He and Jaya, his wife of 35 years, are parents to Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan Nanda, both of whom are married and settled.

Shah Rukh Khan: India’s favourite superstar tied the knot with Gauri in 1991, prior to becoming an actor. The witty and charming star is father to 12 year old Aryan and 9 year old Suhana. Aryan looks just like SRK. Going to London in the summer with his family is a must for the family man.

Insider gossip from Karan Johar's party

Karan Johar’s 37th birthday party at Hotel Four Seasons in Mumbai on May 25 is being called the bash of the year.

More A-listers were spotted here than one could keep tabs of, but some details have made there way out of the venue. Obviously, an insider has been doing the talking...

Guest list
Shah Rukh-Gauri, Abhishek-Aishwarya, Hrithik-Sussanne, Saif-Kareena, Karisma, Ranbir-Deepika, Imran-Avantika, Arjun Rampal-Mehr, Shahid Kapur, Rani, Farhan Akhtar, Tusshar, Sonam Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Vivek Oberoi, Lara Dutta, Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia and many more.

Notably missing
Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, John Abraham and Karan’s good friend Kajol. Some were away from Mumbai, while others were down with flu.

Dress code
Karan asked men to be in formal suits. Most guests obliged, though a few like Hrithik went casual. Most women were in tiny dresses. Like on most occasions, birthday boy Karan wore black.

Highlights
* Karan dragged Abhishek to Shah Rukh and the two ended up chatting for sometime, with Ash looking on. So is it the end of Khan-Bachchan cold war?

* Kareena and Ash were seen chatting and dancing. Pleasant surprise considering after Abhishek and Karisma’s engagement broke, Kareena had put a ban on all things Abhi.

* Riteish and Genelia came separately; Shahid and Vidya were seen leaving together.

* Shahid and Kareena made no effort to chat, while Ash made an effort and avoided Vivek Oberoi.

* Hrithik, Abhishek, Arjun and Farhan climbed on the bar counter and danced.

* The party ended in the wee hours of May 26.

Our regret
It was unfortunate that Karan, while being a gracious host to his colleagues, extended no hospitality to the media which had turned up to cover the event. Angry with the ill treatment, most photographers banned the party and you missed seeing the photos.

Tamasha and Hungama at Karan's Birthday Bash

If the film industry were the United Nations, Karan Johar would be the Secretary-General. A self-confessed people person who loves nothing better than to bring warring factors together and to get everyone to kiss and make up, he has become, at the young age of 37, a sort of father figure to the entire acting fraternity. (Much like his father Yash Johar was, to the previous generation.)

Not surprising then that at his birthday party on Monday night (Tuesday morning actually, considering it wound up only at 4.30am), lots of drama happened. Given that one-half of the industry studiously avoids the second half because of real and perceived grievances while many sit in the lap of most, the party was not without its dramatic and memorable ones.Saif Ali Khan was dressed the most nattily in waistcoat and muffler. Hrithik Roshan came in casuals.

Among the directors who attended were Farhan Akhtar, Nikhil Advani, Rensil D'Silva and Kunal Kohli. Shah Rukh Khan was formally dressed, while youngsters Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan wore jackets.

Though Salman Khan didn't attend, his brothers did. Karisma Kapoor accompanied Saif and Kareena.

Aamir Khan sent a bouquet.Not surprisingly, the sushi was a big hit. After all, these are some of the fittest people in this country.

Aishwarya Rai married into the Bachchan-Kapoor feud that started when the Abhishek Bachchan-Karisma Kapoor engagement was called off, giving wing to many a nasty rumour fuelled by the fact that Abhishek and Kareena didn't work together again. But with Kareena wishing wistfully that Abhishek would find some room in his heart for her and Aishwarya wishing to let bygones be bygones, it was wonderful to see the two lovely ladies catch up at the party and then spend the night dancing away.

Abhishek, meanwhile, was whisked away to the corner by Karan, where Shah Rukh was seated, thus also ending the Bachchan-SRK cold war.

While all the bonhomie (above) was happening, Vidya Balan and Shahid Kapur were reconnecting. Though they came separately, they left together.

Some people went to great lengths(literally) to avoid former friends. When Vivek Oberoi arrived, Aishwarya moved to another corner.

On the other hand, when Shahid arrived, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena were cool.

SRK rocks Karan's party

Karan Johar’s birthday bash at a hotel in central Mumbai is the talk of the town.

Not only did Karan manage to bring in the famous — Shah Rukh Khan with Gauri, Abhishek Bachchan with Aishwarya, Hrithik Roshan with Sussanne, Saif Ali Khan with Kareena Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna (minus Akshay), Ranbir Kapoor with Deepika Padukone, Imran Khan with Avantika Malik and the powerful — Tina Ambani and Parmeshwar Godrej amongst a bevy of other beauties and socialities, he also managed to make sure everyone at his party had a great time.

A guest says, “There was a lot of bonding happening; and rightly so. After all Karan’s party was the last major do for the summer of 2009. Next, he and Shah Rukh leave for the US to shoot My Name Is Khan. They’ll be gone for two months. That means Bollywood’s most influential folks will not get a chance to boogie-woogie and bond till August.

What's happening in Bollywood Town!

We know what King Khan is doing this summer plus stars lend support to the cause of cancer and 99 has reasons to celebrate!

What is King Khan up to?
Shah Rukh Khan is off to work again, leaving wife Gauri home with the kids during their vacation.
The star is leaving for the United States on June 3, to shoot for My Name Is Khan. He had planned an extended vacation with family but it will be interrupted by the shoot.
Sources close to him said that he had wanted to take the family along but this was not possible, though it might happen later.
My Name Is Khan is being made by Karan Johar and also stars Kajol, a regular with SRK and KJo. SRK hasn’t gone to London this year with his family, as he does usually. His summer was spent in South Africa, at the IPL.
And what is SRK doing next week?
If the director of Kal Kissne Dekha, Vivek Sharma, is to be believed, the star will promote his movie, which stars Jackky Bhagnani and Vaishali Desai.
Kareena Kapoor has done stage shows with Jackky to boost the movie, but Sharma said that while SRK would not do stage shows, he would do his bit. "When I met him last week he said I will ask audiences to go to the single screens and watch the movie," Sharma said, referring to the limited release the film is likely to get because of the strike against multiplexes.

In Aid of CPAA: Aftab Shivdasani, Bakhtiyaar Irani, Raima Sen and Arjan Bajwa pledge their support to the Cancer Patients Aid Associations.

Naughty Boys: Sohail Khan with his sons at the same event. The boys are having a gala time.

The Long and Short of It: Pretty Raima Sen looks nice and simple in her Anarkali outfit while Neetu Chandra keeps it short with an electric blue number with shocking pink flats. We prefer Raima’s traditional outfit versus Neetu’s I-am-trying-hard-to-look-hot number.

Celebration Time: The cast of 99 including Vinod Khanna, Amit Mistry and Cyrus Broacha celebrate the success of the film with the directors and producer. This is the first 99 event that Vinod has attended and it’s probably because it was in South Mumbai.

Gauri designs for Arjun Rampal!

Guess who’s designing one part of the restaurant-cum-lounge that Arjun Rampal
and Mehr Jessia are opening in Delhi coming July?

Bollywood style icon and Shah Rukh Khan’s wife, Gauri Khan. Arjun told BT about his well-kept secret, “Gauri and Nandita Mahtani will design one of the tables, Tarun Tahiliani and Rohit Bal will do one each, and the fourth will be done by me. Mehr will be in charge of the entire club, but the idea of having these four specific designer tables by popular celebrities is to give the club an added advantage.’’

The party place is expected to be visited by the biggest names in Bollywood including Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar and Farhan Akhtar. And its novelty, in keeping with international club culture, is that four specific tables will be designed by four renowned designers. Arjun, who would not reveal more, added that everybody was working on their corner. Gauri’s table is likely to include designer crockery or glassware especially designed/sourced by her superstar husband.
