While Shahrukh bagged the 53rd spot, Aamir stood at 55. Salman Khan was several notches below the other two Khans of Bollywood at number 77. Indian Express’ 100 power list included achievers from various fields – art, movies, cricket, business etc. Following Sallu miyaan on number 78 is the Singham director Rohit Shetty. While Yash Raj films head honcho Aditya Chopra stands at 74.

I for one don't agree with ANupam Kher, although I do like him very much, so not saying this as an insult. But I just disagree in this case. And I don't think these are new comments, I remember reading him saying this a few years back. ALthough perhaps he's just repeating the same thing. But i think Anupham Kher hasn't seen a lot of Hollywood musicals to say this. Maybe he should watch something like Mamma Mia. I never thought Meryl Streep could do something like that before but now wouldn't doubt her. just made me realise just cause an actor hasn't done something before, doesn't mean they can't. And hell, in hollywood musicals, the actors even sing. And I'm not just saying this about hollywood, I think it works other way too- when I hear comments about certain bollywood actors not pulling off some hollwyood style things, I feel the same way. Many actors can be versatile. I disagree - doing a Musical is something complete differnt than a Bollywood movie with songs. For me these movies are in no way musicals. And I agree with Mr. Kher that neither a a Tom Cruise nor a Bras Pitt could do a scene like the mentioned that convincing.

And I agree with Mr. Kher that neither a a Tom Cruise nor a Bras Pitt could do a scene like the mentioned that convincing. not the same, but i think the acting required is similar. In fact it's harder to do a hollywood musical as you even have to sing yourself. stuff like mamma mia very much has that more over the top acting associated with bollywood movies. Also my point was more about how actors can do things they've never done before and be versatile. i think in the end, i don't think we can know unless its tried. It's like when people said Heath Ledger could never play the Joker. I just don't think it's right to say bollywood actors can do everything hollywood ones can, but not vice versa, when neither have really been given the opportunity to try the other. You have to be consisent. Someone could easily say the same about bolly actors, because the acting required in hollywood movie is different as well. I htink Hollywood, British cinema (and other stuff like stage plays, tv shows which often many hollywood/british actors do unlike bollywood) provides a lot more opportunity for variety of roles in fact so those actors have more experience with different things. Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt are perhaps not the best examples, I don't really care much for either of them and actually haven't seen enough of their acting to judge fairly. But I can see a lot of hollywood actors pulling it off easily like Leo Di Caprio, Ewan Mcgregor, Hugh Jackman (already mentioned by someone else), David Tennant & John Barrowman (probably not known to many here but from Doctor Who), Jo Gordon Levitt out of the younger ones etc. These actors have displayed so much versatility and/or the right kind of characteristics I think in their careers, frankly, a bollywood movie, would be child's play.

But we should be comparing apples to apples in terms of actors. You should compare SRK/Salman/Aamir/Akshay with Tom Cruise/Brad Pitt/Will Smith/Di Caprio. The big bollywood actors with the huge blockbusters should be compared with the big hollywood actors with the blockbusters. Of the mentioned, Di Caprio could probably pull it off but I question the rest. Heath Ledger and the likes are like the I guess Irrfan Khan/Abhay Deol of bollywood. The question is could the big hollywood actors pull off a Tujhe Dekha To Yeh Jana Sanam and the answer I think is no. I don't agree about the whole they haven't been given an opportunity stuff.

Before you all talk too much about the Hollywood actors/actresses doing their own singing, look back a few years to My Fair Lady and many others... a lady named Marni Nixon made a nice living singing for those particular hollywood stars... Not so different after all. Maybe a few of them have tried doing it themselves recently, but auto-tune is always there to help them.

The question is could the big hollywood actors pull off a Tujhe Dekha To Yeh Jana Sanam and the answer I think is no. I don't agree about the whole they haven't been given an opportunity stuff. That's funny because most of the time people compare SRK to Tom Cruise, I hear comments that it's not a worthy comparison, that SRK is miles better etc. Suddenly, it's fair?? And I did mention Di Caprio, who I think is definitely a top hollywood star. And you even agree yourself , that he could pull it off, so I don't even get why you are disagreeing with me. Johnny Depp is anotehr one I forgot to mention if you want only big name actors, I'm sure he could do it as well. So already in this thread, even from the people who supporting Anupham Kher's comments, we've had at least two names thrown out: Leo and Hugh Jackman. There is no hollywood equivalent for the ruling elite of bollywood, because hollywood doesn't have such a concentration at the top. It's much more even there. You can't say any actor is a sure 'king' for instance. It's even hard to name a top 3 or 5, you would get lots of different answers, but in bollywood, it's pretty obvious. And lastly, nobody in bollywood could do Tujhe Dekha to Ye Jana Sanam either, because lets face it, no one will beat SRK at that. But I think the implication here is more about whether in general hollywood actors can do bollywood roles and I think some could for sure, of course all couldn't, but it's the same with any role in any industry. And about your last line "I don't agree about the whole they haven't been given an opportunity stuff.", so what makes you think bolly actors could easily do hollywood roles. None of hte big stars have any experience with those either. It's this double standard that I don't like. You can't have it one way but not the other. I respect difference of opinion, if it's fair, but I find this to be plain biased.

That's true, but I dont' think it affects my point at all, that just makes it more similar in fact to bollywood if they are lip singing.

J Khushi Soni talks about the industry today, being SRK's official DJ... [EXCERPTS] The easy availability and affordability of DSLRs has democratised photography, but has also meant that every kid with a camera now calls him/herself a photographer. A look at the nightlife roster of the city's clubs and bars, and you can tell that something similar seems to happening to DJing too. Not so for DJ Khushi Soni, however, who got into the profession because it was an excuse for him to go partying (which his folks wouldn't allow otherwise), and made him money. Today, the 28-year-old is the official DJ for Shah Rukh Khan's official and private parties. The king of the dance floor, aptly, plays for King Khan.SRK, he says, even comes up to the console to play if he's in the mood. "When he did that in Delhi once, the crowd went mad. His presence at the console is amazing, while I'm there to make sure technically it all goes well," says Soni. His association with the actor began after the latter selected his remix of Chammak Challo from hundreds of others. They laugh about how other DJs promote their parties as official without knowing that it can get them sued. Working with SRK "He is very down to earth and understands music like no other film star. I even made him dance on Salman Khan's Dhinka Chika and he did some great moves. He is pretty flexible to work with as he doesn't interfere too much as long as the end product is perfect." www.bangaloremirror.com/entertainment/lounge/The-face-behind-the-console/articleshow/32153193.cms

A little trivia from SRK and Gauri's school friend, Shivani Wazir Pasrich:From hosting social events to performing classical dance and acting in films and theatre, Shivani has several claims to fame. She has a degree in Economics from Lady Shri Ram College for Women and also has a degree in law from Delhi University. She even acted in a play directed and scripted by Shah Rukh Khan (Gauri’s boyfriend back then!) and even won an award for it. www.asianage.com/life-and-style/one-nirbhaya-can-t-be-game-changer-503

I'm pretty sure that isn't Mannat. Its one of those pictures of some house in Dubai that isn't his either. He's mentioned that these fake pics abound. There are some pics of the house that are good but the only one of the pool I've ever seen is the one when he did the Filmfare cover photoshoot.

Weda Ayubi meets SRKDo you remember the recent news about Weda Ayubi, who came all the way from Amsterdam to meet her idol Shah Rukh Khan? As reported, she was in a wheelchair for years but never gave up as she had promised her mother that when she would meet her inspiration SRK, she would stop, get up from her wheelchair and walk towards him. She actually walked five to six steps to SRK when she met him some days ago when he was shooting for Happy New Year. Weda is a writer from Netherlands who has written her autobiography 'The Game of Destiny'. Her autobiography tells the story of how Weda went through a bad phase in her life at the age of six when she was detected with spinal tumor. Since then Weda has been on the wheelchair. According to her mother, Weda used to talk to SRK's posters for hours. She used to watch all his films and try to somehow find a connect with him and this helped her fight her fear and insecurities. Being the superstar that he is, SRK knows that he has been an inspiration for many of his fans who write to him telling their stories. But Weda made him very emotional when she struggled to stand up just to walk some steps towards him. "It was extremly emotional moment for everyone on the sets when Weda walked towards SRK. Weda and her family were in tears after they met her idol. Shah Rukh not only inspired her to walk and write more but also motivated her further by his inspirational words," add a source close to the actor. www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.146203898899243.1073741973.126366264216340&type=1
