Looking for 'Miss Bollywood'

The cricket stadiums of South Africa are unlikely places in which Bollywood should scout for future talent... but that’s just what IPL team owners Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty will be doing... hunting for a new starlet from among the South African women attending the cricket extravaganza over the next five weeks.

IPL has announced a film role for any woman with the potential to take Bollywood by storm. She will also win a cash prize, a trip to India and other prizes in a ‘Miss Bollywood SA’ competition.

“We’re looking for someone who has the star quality to stand out in a crowd,” said the tournament’s chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi, adding, “these matches with their mix of fun and excitement are an excellent environment to identify the kind of person who is a natural stand-out.” Shah Rukh agreed, “The idea is to search for someone who has the attitude and appearance that automatically draws the eye.”

Girls will be chosen from stadiums in Cape Town, East London, Port Elizabeth, Durban, Bloemfontein, Kimberley, Johannesburg and Pretoria. One finalist from each venue will be chosen, leaving eight winners to be hosted and feted at The Wanderers in Johannesburg at the final on May 24. The ultimate winner will be announced from among them.

When Shah Rukh became Abhi...

We recently learnt that when Gauri was to introduce Shah Rukh to her parents, she wasn’t so sure how they would react if they found out that he belonged to another community. So she conveniently changed Shah Rukh’s name and introduced him as Abhinav to her parents! Looking back, Gauri describes this as “silly and childish.” And as for SRK, he was ironically shooting for My Name is Khan while Gauri narrated this sweet little anecdote.

Shah Rukh Khan Will Change His IPL Team Name

It is being suspected that Shahrukh Khan has been discarding his IPL team captain because he was suggested by his numerologist that number 8 is not favorable for him and he should remove the name Kolkatta from his IPL team logo. Saurav Ganguly is a number 8 person and hence he had to be replaced by somebody who is luckier for Khan. Many numerologists have been predicting that the number 8 is not only unlucky for Shahrukh but the number has been harming him and it was said that when Shahrukh entered his 44th year of life that summed to 8, he had to suffer the shoulder injury and he was kept out of action for the health issue.His film “Billu” did not perform well on box office and the use of Black color in team jersey was also opposed by astrologists.

Shah Rukh Khan shoulder operation success, star recovering

Shah Rukh Khan’s operation to relieve pain on a troublesome shoulder was a success and the star is recovering in hospital.

Masala.com reported yesterday that the star had opted to check into a Mumbai hotel to avoid the controversies surrounding his 2003 operation on his back.

"Shah Rukh is fine, he will be discharged after a few days," said a source close to the actor.

SRK’s family and close friend Farah Khan visited him in the Breach Candy hospital in south Mumbai after the operation.

The actor had to undergo an arthroscopic surgery for a nagging pain in left shoulder. Though he had planned to fly to London for the surgery, he chose to get it done in Mumbai under the guidance of Sanjay Desai, the orthopaedic surgeon at Breach Candy.

Shah Rukh told reporters before his surgery that he would take two or three months off to recover from the surgery.

"For Shah Rukh, the last few months have been quite busy professionally. There was "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" promotion as well as the shoot of Dulha "Mil Gaya" ,” an insider source told masala.com.

Shah Rukh Khan undergoes surgery

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan underwent surgery at a city hospital on Monday and doctors said the film star would not be able to work for at least a month.

Khan, arguably India's biggest superstar, was admitted to Mumbai's Breach Candy hospital after suffering a rotator cuff tear in his left shoulder.

"He is out of anaesthesia and is a bit groggy, but otherwise the situation is under control," Sanjay Desai, who led a team of doctors operating on Khan, told reporters after a 90-minute surgery.

Desai said the 43-year-old actor would be out of action for "four to six weeks" but full recovery would take up to six months.

"Action will take time, but simple jobs, he can perform in a month's time. No high demand physical activity," Desai said.

Khan, whose film "Billu" opened in cinemas last week, is yet to complete work on director Karan Johar's project "My Name is Khan".

But trade analysts said Khan's surgery was unlikely to delay the film, about a Muslim man suffering from Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism.

"The shooting of the film wasn't scheduled for some time now and I don't think any of the remaining scenes involve any heavy duty action," trade analyst Taran Adarsh said.
