Shah Rukh Khan and Shoaib Akhtar.

Owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, Shah Rukh Khan unlike colleagues Shilpa Shetty and Preity Zinta is not blaming Pakistan cricketers for making a brouhaha over the IPL issue, instead he believes that everything could have happened respectfully.

    SRK says, “I think it’s actually humiliating to me as a KKR owner that this has happened.We are known to invite everyone. We should have. If there were any issues, they should have been put on board earlier. Everything can happen respectfully.”

    “I am not giving an excuse and I truly believe Pakistani players are the best T20 players in the world. They are the champions. They are wonderful. But somewhere down the line there is an issue and we cannot deny it. There is an issue, we cannot keep saying ‘Oh this was wrong’. Yes maybe the way it was done was wrong, the way it is being carried out may be wrong. But you can’t keep on saying ‘Koi issue nahi hai yaar, woh aa jate’ (There isn’t any issue, they could have come). There is an issue lets not deny it. Every day we blame Pakistan, everyday they blame us, it is an issue.”

    SRK adds, “I truly believe that they should have been chosen. As a matter of fact, I’m not going to be the one who is opposite from what everyone else is saying but I wanted Abdul Razzaq. I think it was in the newspapers much earlier than even the auction started. Dada (Sourav Ganguly) was very keen,”

Agree with SRK?

Katrina Will Marry 2012.

Katrina Kaif believes that she will settle down and get married in the year 2012. Katrina is also not looking out for a new home because just after two years she will be shifting to her husband’s home.

    Katrina says, “I’ll get married and go to my husband’s home. Why put in so much money into a new home when I have a perfectly comfortable one at the moment?”

When Katrina was asked about her groom, she did not react. Well Katrina’s marriage is only two years away.:)

S.K Says My Name is Chand.

Well this is what SRK saying after a Lunar crater in the Sea of Tranquility was named after him.

    Reacting to the news SRK says, “It’s absolutely thrilling and humbling at the same time. “I am in a small way doing good service for my country. The fact that my name is chosen is because the world is looking at India and I happen to be a part of this wonderful land of opportunity.”

    SRK talking about the honor says, “I came to Mumbai with stars in my eyes and Allah has granted me all and more. I am so happy that through the opportunity given to me by my fans, audience and the media platforms that I work with… So thanks to all those who suggested my name and to everyone who has made films with me. My kids are very excited and I know my parents would have been very proud. I’m already telling Karan to launch the next film calledMy Name Is Chand.”

SRK is over the moon to join the likes of Christopher Columbus, Issac Newton, Leonardo Da Vinci, Julius Caesar and others.

After Kaminey, Priyanka has a Unique Chemistry with Bhardwaj.

Priyanka Chopra, as we all well know by now, is very keen to be part of Rohan Sippy's film. Rohan who had earlier worked with Priyanka in Bluffmaster was also keen to cast her in his Goan drug-busting film. Sippy wanted to cast Priyanka in a powerful role opposite the Southern star Rana Daggubati.

The earlier plan was to cast Priyanka opposite Abhishek. But now a new girl will be paired with Abhishek while Priyanka was seriously considered opposite Daggubati.

Says a source, "Unfortunately the dates on which Priyanka was required for Rohan's film clashed with Vishal Bhardwaj's film."

After Kaminey, Priyanka has a unique chemistry with Bhardwaj. In Vishal's Ek Bataa Saat (which means '1 into 7') she plays a woman with seven husbands, a big challenge for the actress.

Says a source, "There was no way Priyanka could let go of Vishal's Ek Bataa Saat. So she regretfully opted out of Rohan's film."

Now Rohan says he would probably have to cast newcomers opposite both Abhishek and Rana Daggubati.

Akshay Kumar 'Machismo'.

Bollywood is all about synonyms. While Aamir Khan is synonymous with Perfection, Salman Khan is synonymous with brawn and generosity, the one word (which says it all) synonymous for the 'Smooth Operator' Akshay Kumar 'Machismo'. One has to give it to Akshay Kumar when it comes to 'Machoism'.

Be it the silver screen or the product endorsement arena, Akshay Kumar has handled both with equal ease. After having endorsed a million products like Levis, Thums Up etc..., the latest one in his kitty of endorsements is 'Dollar banian'. According to Bollywood Hungama's confirmed sources, "Keeping the said brand's positioning and image in the market, Akshay Kumar was an obvious choice".

Repeated attempts to contact Akshay Kumar proved futile.

Salman Khan Promote his Upcoming Movie "Veer".

Bollywood star Salman Khan is leaving no stone unturned to promote his upcoming period drama "Veer" that releases Friday, even if it means participating in a race with top jockeys.

Clad in a black t-shirt, blue jeans and donning a yellow helmet, the 44-year-old raced with six jockeys at the Mahalakshmi race course Sunday, winning the event and being awarded a trophy.

"I was a bit nervous (before the race). If I'd have lost, people would have thought Salman lost the race and if I'd have won then they would have said that he had to win because he is a star," Salman told reporters here after the race.

"But I'd like to clarify that it was not a set-up and was a genuine race. I gave my best along with the jockeys and so did they," he added.

The epic has been produced by Vijay Galani and Sunil A. Lulla. It has been written by Salman.

It also marks the big screen debut of Zarine Khan in the female lead. Mithun Chakraborty, Sohail Khan and Jackie Shroff also play pivotal roles in the movie.
