Shahrukh Khan’s one phone call saved a marriage

Even a phone call can save a marriage especially, if the caller is some one like Shahrukh Khan. The Bollywood Badshah is very busy clearing up his IPL mess and his upcoming project, Ra. 1. In the middle of all this, he received a very emotional letter from a man named, Kandula Subramaniam, who lives in Gurgaon. He and his wife, Krishnakoli Dutta, have been living separately.

Their relationship turned sour and Subramaniam tried every thing to win her back but nothing worked. Then it came to Subramaniam that Krishnakoli is a big fan of Shahrukh Khan. Subramaniam, in desperation, tried to contact Shahrukh Khan.

He found Shahrukh Khan's email address and wrote a heartwrenching mail describing his marriage and his relationship with his wife. He requested the Bollywood superstar to help him to bring back Krishnakoli.

Though a super busy man, Shahrukh Khan took out time to help Subramaniam. On May 18, 2010, on her birthday, Krishnakoli received a phone call which came from none other than her favorite Bollywood hero, Shahrukh Khan.

Shahrukh Khan wished Krishnakoli Happy Birthday! and then earnestly requested her to give another shot to her estranged relationship with Subramaniam. The actor was very cautious as he did not try to invade her privacy or make her angry.

After hearing about her relationship with her husband from Shahrukh Khan, Krishnakoli was very much surprised. She at first thought some one is playing jokes on her but then she understood that it was Shahrukh Khan for real.

Krishnakoli promised Shahrukh Khan that she would try and make things work with Kandula.

Sounds very FILMY but it is a true story and Shahrukh Khan did not disclose the story. Times of India reported it because Kandula Subramaniam used to work for the newspaper once.

Mexican star fancies 'mori' Indian films

Q: What about Shah Rukh Khan?

A: I haven't seen Shah Rukh's acting. But yes, I'd love to work with him some day. I met Shah Rukh Khan last week and Gauri too at his house in Mannat. I had been told that I had to meet them both because they are the best celebrity couple I'd ever meet.

Q: And if you were to choose between the two - Hrithik Roshan or Shah Rukh Khan?

A: I know Hrithik more than Shah Rukh. As people, both are really great. Both look smart and handsome.

Shah Rukh Khan's 'knee'dling worries

Mumbai: Actor Shah Rukh Khan is apparently struggling very hard with his injuries while shooting for his next superhero movie. The actual list of his injuries is already huge and on top of that he has consistently aggravated every weak point of his body over the past few years by pushing the envelope.

A source says, "His first injury was the hairline fracture on his knee cap that he sustained while shooting for Koyla in 1995-96. After that Shah Rukh tore a shoulder muscle while shooting for Dulha Mil Gaya for which his shoulder was strapped for more a month. Then it was his back injury, a slip disc, that he sustained while shooting Main Hoon Na in 2004 for which he had to undergo a minor surgery."

Due to these injuries it's becoming a difficult task for Shah Rukh to maintain his six-pack abs. His trainer Prashant Samant says, "I don't think there's anything that can stop Shah Rukh. When he wants to do something, he goes ahead and does it. I do have to take extreme care about the fact that he has a few injuries."

Prashant relies more on cardio exercises for Shah Rukh rather than weights.

"When you are injured, you can't lift weights. That might rule out a lot of exercises but it is still possible to maintain a six-pack," the source says, adding SRK will go in for one more rehabilitation programme in the US soon. "He won't go into quick-fix solutions anymore and he will be undergoing one more treatment programme in the US."
