It’s tad unusual to see someone lift up his shirt, act all casual and boast his abs in front of the assorted gathering such as that of India Today Conclave in New Delhi. However, expect Shahrukh Khan to do the unexpected.
For home production “Ra. One” and Farhan Akhtar’s thriller Don 2 Shahrukh Khan has developed a brawny body that is worth showing off. And that’s just what happened when SRK was asked if his six-packs were “lurking behind that sharp suit”.
And his stunt was pleasantly welcomed by the gathered members who otherwise were having quite serious discussions. Talking about it SRK said, “My wife always tells me, 'Please don't try to be funny at serious events...please don't speak too much'. And I am told this is a very serious event.”
Getting back to the serious topic SRK expressed his concerns about the politicization of Mumbai by saying that Indian cinema is heading from Mumbai to Melrose. And though he would have preferred the transition as Bombay to Beverly Hills he thinks that that kind of alliteration is not allowed to Muslim actors.
Talking about communalism SRK expressed, “I truly believe that politicians should not use religion as an agenda. It is just not acceptable. The issues like education, development and women's upliftment, which are sidelined, are the basic political issues which need to be looked upon.”
