SRK 's episode on the Anupam Kher Show: spoilers!

S

hah Rukh Khan may have preferred to give Karan Johar's Koffee with Karan (Star World) the royal boot but the superstar actor was in top notch form when he made his high-profile appearance on Anupam Kher's much awaited upcoming inspirational talk show Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai. Wit and charm personified, King Khan opened up like never while narrating his journey from nothingness to superstardom. He punched his story with never-before-heard anecdotes, spoke at length about his daughter Suhana and son Aryan, fondly remembered his late parents, expressly celebrated his love for Gauri and also touched base upon his feelings - both anger and emotions. Bte noire Salman Khan's name too cropped up in a light hearted banter with host Anupam Kher.

The episode was shot yesterday at Yashraj studios and our source who witnessed the entire shoot served us with some exclusive information which we would like to term as Spoiler Alert.'

Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai kick started with Anupam Kher introducing his show and then his guest for the evening, SRK, in pure Hindi. A suited and booted SRK walked in to be greeted by the rapturous applause of the audience and immediately remarked that he wouldn't be able to keep pace with Anupam's shuddh Hindi to which Anupam said that SRK's Hindi is great as well. As the host and his guest settled down into the couch, Anupam asked SRK, "Do you know any Abdul Rehmad? Well it turns out that SRK's naani had named him Abdul Rehmad before SRK's father Meer Taj Mohammed changed it to Shah Rukh Khan which essentially means Prince. SRK then went on to narrate the amazing love story of his parents- how his father saved his mother's life after a car accident and how both fell in love since.

SRK lost his parents at an early age and that denied him a chance of having lengthier discussions especially with his father. When Anupam asked what his father wanted him to become, SRK said that he hadn't had a chance to interact on those lines as his father passed away when he was just 15 but one statement of his late father got etched in his mind forever. "My father used to say Jo log kuch nahi karte, woh log bhi kamaal karte hain."

That SRK had no safe place to sleep when he arrived in Mumbai is well-known. Walking past the memory lane, SRK remembered the days when he was without a penny in Mumbai and the roads near Taj and Oberoi used to be his sleep bed. But the fighter within him still believed that one day he will rule the city. "I said to myself, "Ek din main iss shehar pe raj karoonga." How prophetic those words have turned out to be!

The superstar who is fiercely guarded about his private life especially his kids, opened up for the first time and spoke about Suhana and Aryan and their aspirations. Revealing that he was penning down two books one of which would be for his daughter, SRK opened up about his daughter's dream of entering the showbiz industry. "Suhana wants to be an actress," said SRK and added that he is writing a book called 'To Suhana on acting from Papa' where he would be incorporating all his acting experiences and inspirations for his lovely daughter. SRK also joked that even if no one else reads it, his daughter will surely read it. The superstar also wants his daughter to be like the fabulous co-stars that he was worked with from Hema Malini to Anushka Sharma. On his son Aryan's aspirations, SRK mentioned that irrespective of what he wants to be, he will be an actor because that is how it works in Mumbai. "Star ke beta ko star banna hi hai." SRK is also reportedly penning down another book tentatively titled 20 years of a decade'.

SRK was once known for his temper and his ugly run-ins with journalists. Anupam Kher quizzed SRK on those lines and asked him how he feels when people write bad and negative stuff about him. Asked Anupam, "Kya aapko takleef hoti hai?

In cavalier Khan style, SRK replied, 'Takleef nahi hoti, gussa aata hain. Mann karta hai maaru usse. Aisa lagta hai, jo likha saathme apna naam number address bhi likh de
Toh aake autograph aur jhapad dono de dunga.'

SRK then jokingly said, "Saal mein ek do jhagde karna achhi baat hai. It's healthy."

The thing that King Khan fears the most is losing both his arms which happen to be his worst nightmare. The thing that he hates the most is 'disrespect'. Bachhe bhi jab badtameezi karte hai bilkul nahi pasand,' SRK reportedly said.

When Anupam asked the star as to how he can expect everyone to like him, SRK nonchalantly said, "Kyu nahi?" King Khan then went on to say that people may not like his acting or behaviour but it should never get personal.

SRK also spoke about how folks at Gauri's place were dead against the inter-religious marriage, how Gauri's brother flexed his bulging biceps to warn SRK from indulging in any hanky panky with his sister and how finally things fell in place.

No conversation with SRK today can be complete without Salman Khan. When Anupam said losing memory was the thing he feared the most, SRK mockingly addressed him as Ravi. "Accha Ravi, is that so?" Anupam wittily answered, "Haan Salman," to which SRK said," This shows you haven't really lost your memory."

Anupam too took a trip down the memory lane and recollected the first time when he met SRK at Amjad Khan's funeral, the iconic scenes from DDLJ and finally how he will be making a guest apperance in Happy New Year.

The entire episode was shot yesterday in a marathon three -hour shoot and eloquent Khan our source informed, completed all in one go."SRK didn't need a single retake. He just spoke and all of us listened," said our source.

Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai which also unofficially mark SRK's debut on Colors is likely to be aired from July. With SRK having served out dollops of unheard stories about his life and bared himself before someone who has lived him unconditionally' as he puts it on Twitter, we are sure this will one firecracker of an episode on Indian television.
