Manmohan takes time off to watch Shahrukh Khan film

Known to be a workaholic, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh took time off to watch a Shahrukh Khan starrer film.

"Yesterday, I watched a picture of Shahrukh Khan," Singh said at the NDTV Indian of the Year Awards function here on Thursday evening.

Singh, who gave away the award in the `Entertainer of the Year' category to Southern superstar Rajnikant, however, failed to recall the name of the film.

"I have forgotten the title of the film," Singh, who tried to remember the name of the movie, said.

Shah Rukh Khan on Bollywood's fittest men



Shah Rukh Khan's recently acquired six-packs for OM SHANTI OM, have grabbed maximum eyeballs and headlines, in the year gone by. Experts concerned with physical training like, Rahul Dev, have marveled at his new physique, especially as it was developed at the age of 40 plus. King Khan gives credit for the above to the motivational talks of his OSO director-cum-friend, Farah Khan, his strict diet and of course his personal trainer.

When asked the obvious question (that comes to mind), as to who are the fittest men in the film industry, as per the 'Baadshah' himself, the answer was not surprising at all. SRK finds Akshay 'Khiladi' Kumar fit and the original macho man, Sunny Deol as very fit. He also mentions the names of Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan in the same breath. Quite an impressive line-up to be inspired by!

Let us see if we are able to see more of Shah Rukh's six-packs (and now abs!) in the item song of Rakesh Roshan's KRAZZY 4, for which he is scheduled to shoot during the current week itself.

However, as Bollywood's global superstar himself says that he is very shy and is not comfortable about dropping his shirt (like his friend Salman Khan), it seems highly unlikely.

Shah Rukh Khan injured



The one quality in Shah Rukh Khan that seems more appreciable than all others is the generosity with which he supports his friends and protégés. The most recent beneficiary of his largesse is the My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves wanna-shine Nikhil Dwivedi. Not only has Shah Rukh been supporting Dwivedi’s starry dreams he has also been making sure the boy is seen in public places with the superstar.

After making his presence felt at the music release of Nikhil's film, Shah Rukh showed up at the film's premiere on Wednesday night with his leg obviously in pain. The star had injured his leg while rehearsing his steps for the Screen awards. "It was really very nice of him," says Nikhil. "The injury was an old one. But he hurt himself in the same leg while rehearsing for his performance at the awards." Shah Rukh couldn't stay for the whole film. Nevertheless, promised to catch up with My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves in a couple of days.

SRK Bollywood's top tax payer



It's raining money in Bollywood and it's not just how much the top actors in the industry are earning, it's also about how much tax they are paying.

Sources say, Shah Rukh Khan has set a record of sorts by paying an advance tax of a whopping Rs 27 crore in December 2007. It is Rs nine crores more than what he paid last year. And the figure is bound to shoot up once he files his returns for the first quarter of 2008.

Actor Akshay Kumar, who has given four hits in a row this year, is in second place, his advance tax returns amount to Rs seven crore.

The Bachchans are in third, fourth and fifth place. While the Big B has filed returns of Rs 1.8 crore, son Abhishek has submitted 3.7 crore, while Aishwarya's advance tax returns total Rs 1.6 crore.

Himesh Reshammiya has been singing all the way to the bank and he has also paid a whopping Rs 2.5 crore as advance tax. Spinning sweet dreams on the silver screen is one thing. Payback time's not as sweet.
