Shah Rukh Khan has been silently doing his bit for the needy, especially with medical aid.

The actor, who funds a children's ward in a top city hospital, is now planning to fund a cancer wing for the underprivileged in Mumbai in memory of his parents — mother, Fatima, and father, Taj Mohammed Khan (who had succumbed to the illness).

Says a source, "It is all in the planning stage. He has been talking about doing this but hasn't decided when, where and how. SRK becomes very sad when he comes across cases of terminally ill people who have no proper medical facilities."

FICCI FRAMES 2011 brought two of the most popular and most loved stars from Bollywood and Hollywood together. Shah Rukh Khan – Bollywood's Baadshah met Hugh Jackman – the hottest hunk from Hollywood at the closing ceremony of the three day conclave. The two stars indulged in discussions on various subjects – both serious and funny.

While discussing about each other's films, SRK confessed that he and his entire family is a fan of Hugh and his films. The Hollywood actor too revealed that he has seen Shah Rukh's My Name Is Khan and loved the film. The most interesting part was when Hugh Jackman made a proposition to MNIK producer Karan Johar to make a sequel to last year's blockbuster.

Your 18th birthday is always a special occasion. But it's not every 18 year old who has a Shah Rukh Khan or a Sanjay Dutt come to greet him on his big day.

Well, Zeeshan Siddiqui was the lucky boy who had the two superstars drop by to wish him as he stepped into adulthood. Father Baba Siddiqui looked on proudly as the actors posed for pictures with Zeeshan and his friends.

One of the earlybirds was Sanju baba who came in with Kumar Gaurav, Priya Dutt and Owen Roncon. Sohail Khan was in a good mood, chatting and joking with everyone. Kishen Kumar was also seen having a good time. SRK, who came in post midnight, was seen talking with Sohail and the duo spent a long time catching up with each other.

Dressed in his trademark half-tucked in shirt, SRK charmed one and all with his presence.

    

JD Majethia and Aatish Kapadia led the cast of his movie Khichdi-The Movie to meet superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

The superstar apologised for not meeting the cast earlier outside Mannat as he was busy shooting. He said that he was going to try and catch the late night show. He added, "Even if I get late, I will call for a copy and watch it, after all ghar ki khichdi hai." The actors were bowled over by SRK's charming ways. Supriya Pathak was the only cast member missing here.

    

The mercury's rising, and the October heat is just setting in, but Shah Rukh Khan is packing his woolies and preparing for a cold, bleak winter.

Not in Bollywood, of course; but in Berlin, where he is jetting off to in a couple of days to begin work on Excel Entertainment's Don 2. It is a two-month-long schedule, and SRK will be away all the while, so if you want to wish him on his birthday on November 2, you had better go to Berlin like Karan Johar is planning to. After the success of Don, he is naturally excited to be working on the sequel, it promises to be bigger and better. And Don himself has grown, he's gone and done bad things around the world — now the police of 22 countries are after him as against a11 in the first part!

SRK tells Sarita Tanwar who the superheroes he looks up to, are. And why kids should follow them, too

He's playing a superhero in his next film. But those who have known Shah Rukh Khan for years now, already think he is a superhero! Anyway, the superstar reveals who his inspirations are and what kind of traits children should take away from these super lives.

He looks gaunt and underweight. His cheekbones stick out prominently. His once famed six-packs have become a thing of the past. And, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is the first to admit that he’s lost weight. “Yes, I have lost a lot of weight,” he rues. “I need to put some weight on...even the kids (Aryan and Suhana) are thinking I am a 90 pound pushover weakling. I can’t be an under-nourished superhero, can I?” adds the actor, who is currently busy shooting for his sci-fi superhero flick, Ra.One, which also stars Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal, and is scheduled for release next year.

The reason for SRK’s weight loss is, to say the least, strange.

“It’s because I had been wearing a superhero suit for Ra.One. The suit is made of silicon and styrofoam and rubber and, after wearing that suit for eight to nine hours daily, you tend to lose weight.”

He may be the Bollywood Badshah, but wife Gauri Khan is the boss at Mannat. And Shah Rukh Khan admits that credit for their extremely well-done-up home ought to go to Gauri.

The couple launched the premium, international-quality upholstery and curtain material brand D'Decor recently, helping it to set rules that re-define the way furnishings will be bought.

SRK didn't have to convince the reticent Gauri to agree to this proposition. "When D'Decor approached her, she was excited because it was an area of her interest," he said. "She loved the product and was comfortably close with family D'Decor — Ajay, Sanjay Arora and Simone Arora."

Actor Shah Rukh has refused to play the role of IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi despite being asked by Modi himself. The role is for the film Commissioner based on Modi’s life seen from the perspective of a journalist, reported the Mumbai Mirror. While the exact reason has not been stated, the actor possibly rejected the role since he himself is so closely related with the league. It’s also possible that he refused to get involved with the IPL in the light of all the recent controversy around the League and its commissioner.

“When the film was announced, everything was very rosy on the IPL front. But after the recent controversy on Lalit Modi, it has become a very sensitive topic,” a source told the tabloid.
