SRK say sometimes loosing is winning.mp4
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Ahead of IPL season 3, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan Saturday invited the people to coach his Kolkata Knight Riders team and send in their suggestions for improving its performance.
“When we used to lose, I used to get inundated with messages, mostly suggestions. I feel sad when we lose, but you have to take all those losses with little bit of ease and a little sense of humour and all those messages and emails, I used to keep them,” he said at the launch of the “Main Bhi Coach” programme in association with Nokia India here.
“Keeping in mind peoples’ habit of giving suggestions, I decided with the team of Nokia that this time we will launch something which would be called ‘Main Bhi Coach’ which would officially give everyone a chance to coach KKR and suggest what should we do for our team,” he said.
Shah Rukh said people could messages to 9664555555, and all these would be discussed with the team and the coach to see if the ideas could help in improving the team.
Shah Rukh said he is quite positive about his team this season.
“It happens in sports…one team wins and the other loses. I doesn’t mean that the team losing is lazy or it doesn’t want to win or it is a bad team. When one team competes, it competes to win. I won’t say that we didn’t work hard. Maybe our decision of multiple captains was not right, we can find excuses but the bottom line is that we worked hard, we played very hard but not hard enough.”
“We need to play harder, we need to play tougher and we need to win this,” Shah Rukh said.
On the controversy over the deal with Lux Cozi, he said he had kept in on hold because he doesn’t want to hurt anyone with his decision.
“We wanted to have lot of local partners. If you have local partners it’s nicer. Legally, as a company and in every way I thought it was above board…. it made some people unhappy and what happened over the last six months, I truly believe that lot of people love and support me and I don’t want to hurt anybody and even our partners so we have kept it on hold because that’s what some members in Kolkata wanted,” he said.
IPL v/s Bollywood
Monday, February 15th, 2010As IPL season nears, filmmakers are worried because of a new strategy of screening films at the theaters. Films get a tough competition from the IPL mathces anyway and now with the showcasing of the matches in theaters, it becomes much more difficult to sustain the industry in those 2 months. Actor and co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders Juhi Chawla says that movies have been here since over a 100 years and hence there is no threat to this industry. Watch the video to find out what the director of Shemaroo and the spokesperson of PVR Cinemas have to say about the same issue!
Shiv Sena attacks Shah Rukh Khan
Saturday, February 6th, 2010The Maharashtra government Friday promised to protect Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh
Khan after he came under attack from the Shiv Sena for advocating the cause of
Pakistani cricketers in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Minister of State for Home Ramesh Bagwe told reporters that the government was ready
to provide Shah Rukh security if he desired it.
The minister also vowed to give “full security” to all the players in the IPL
matches.
The Shiv Sena hit out at the actor, who is also the Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner,
after he said that he would have picked a Pakistani player for IPL matches if his
team had a slot.
The IPL teams’ failure to select even a single Pakistani cricketer has raised a storm
in Pakistan.
Attacking Shah Rukh for espousing the cause of Pakistani players, Shiv Sena Rajya
Sabha MP Sanjay Raut said if the actor was so keen on them, “he could go play his
matches in Lahore, not in India”.
“Pakistan has been blatantly indulging in terror activities and killing our innocent
people. Sena is firm in not allowing Pakistani players on our soil,” Raut told
reporters.
Taking the issue further, Thane Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde announced that no film
of Shah Rukh would be screened in the district.
“Since Shah Rukh Khan has hurt the sentiments of the people by his utterances, we
have decided that his films will not be exhibited in any cinema or multiplex in the
entire Thane district,” said Shinde.
Shah Rukh’s latest movie, “My Name Is Khan”, is due for global release Feb 12.
Shah Rukh had said in Ahmedabad Wednesday that there was a need to create an
environment where IPL franchisees could recruit Pakistani players with ease.
He said that his team had exhausted its quota of foreign players by picking up Shane
Bond. Otherwise, he would have loved to have Pakistanis in the Kolkata Knight Riders.
In a related development, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray lashed out at industrialist
Mukesh Ambani for his views in London that Mumbai belonged to the whole country.
Saying that the industrialist was “not in his senses” when he made the statement,
Thackeray said that “Mumbai belonged to Marathis” as much as Reliance Industries
belonged Mukesh Ambani.
Salmans support for Preity Zinta
Sunday, December 6th, 2009If you think that the Salman-SRK rivalry is a mere phase, think again.

While Preity Zinta is not SRK’s enemy, she is definitely a rival when it comes to the IPL, as SRK owns a rival team – The Kolkata Knight Riders. Shah Rukh Khan has spent considerable time and effort to ensure that Bollywood stars …
