Some of Shahrukh Khan?s charity works November 25th, 2009

This is one of the many interesting comments by our readers. A reader with the nickname 'Ann' in the Most Popular Actors Poll talks about her favorite star Shahrukh Khan.

In response to a question "Have you ever heard of SRK giving money away for charity?" by Anish. Ann says..

NGO called Make a Wish Foundation work out on the wishes of such children and make their wishes come true. Shah Rukh Khan has been closely involved with this NGO and has consistently come to help them out whenever they have approached him. Many of these little ones wish to meet Shah Rukh Khan and the actor arranges for such kids to be driven to his house and ensures that he spends some quality time with them bringing in joy in their lifespan.

The media is always hunting for an SRK quote. A Shah Rukh Khan interview sells more than anything. The actor who is quite aware of his popularity and market value used it to good effect a decade back. During the release of his film Dil To Pagal Hai, Shah Rukh used to charge Rs 5000 per interview whenever a media channel interviewed him. But before you think he exploited his fame to his benefit, let's clarify that he used the money strictly for charity purposes only. He used to take the money in the form of cheques in the favour of NGO.

When Shah Rukh was working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas, an unfortunate incident occurred on the sets. A person who had just come to visit the sets and see the shooting, met with a tragic accident when a large fan fell on him and he died on the spot.

Shah Rukh personally offered help to the deceased's family and send them money in testing times. SRK was not responsible for the mishap in any way nor was he officially obligated to help. But out of his moral sense, the actor did come forward to do the needful.

Everyone who has been working with Shah Rukh Khan's company Red Chillies Entertainment right from the top-level managers to the watchmen have been treated with utmost love and respect. Shah Rukh might be taking additional revenues from banners for his star power but he distributes the share from profits to his company members as well.

It is believed that after the super success of his film Om Shanti Om, SRK distributed good part of the profits amongst his company employees as a goodwill bonus.

Some years back a reporter from a popular media channel met with an accident just after he had interviewed Shah Rukh Khan. His condition was quite critical and the hospital authorities demanded big money for his treatment since the injuries were severe. There was little time and quick money was needed for his admission.

When SRK got to know about this, he immediately arranged for the money which reportedly amounted to as high as Rs one lakh per day for the treatment. Unfortunately the guy succumbed to his injuries in some days.

Thank to Indiatimes Movies for the Article about Shah Ruks unbeliveable big heart.

And thats only a few of Shah Rukhs Charity works. Not to forget the Department for Childern with cancer in the Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai wich Shah Rukh has founded. The 2 orphans from Jammu and Kashmir wich have strong burnigs and wich now get medical help because Shah Rukh pay thier whole medical costs. So please don't say Shah Rukh don't do Charity. Shah Rukh does more Charity as we all know. But he does it silently. God bless him. Oh By the way Shah Rukh is the most famous ever.

How would Bollywood be different if...

...these two were BFFs?

• One of them would've faught with Aamir Khan. Could Bollywood handle love and harmony amongst ALL the Khans? Surely the Earth would stop rotating on it's axis...


• Would Salman have been the new Don? Hell no, he can barely zip his fly, let alone carry off a suave action thriller. 


• Would SRK have done Dabangg, instead? Nah..I doubt he has the patience for SoNOTshi, or the tolerance for cheesy action.


• Would they be doing buddy-buddy flicks together? Karan Arjun Part 2, anyone?

Not so blind item: Keeping up with the Plastics.

Mr. Masand's late blind item of the week:

A well known Bollywood producer's wife has a new hobby. Cosmetic surgery. Hmph, joining the club a lil late are we, Honey? Her first time under the knife was for a tummy tuck and it happened two years ago at a plastic surgery clinic run by the parents of an A-list star, who isn't nip/tuck shy herself. But I digress... This A-list actress was acting in a big-budget film, which the wife's hubby was producing.

She ditched India and found the Plastic Surgeon to the Bollywood stars in London, where she proceeded to have her lips, nose, and boobs all done up. Now she even resembles a Playboy Playmate when all the plastic is taken into consideration.

The surgeon himself is a bit of a celeb among his many Bollywood clients and socialites. Whether they see him in London, or consult with him when he visits Mumbai, many a B-town starlet have run into one another at his clinic.

Meanwhile, our Bollywood producer's wife is back in the city after her recent trip to London, where her hubby's latest production, a multi-starrer film, just wrapped up their rather arduous schedule. 

See our reveal, after the jump!

Opening of Studio Aesthetique. Sunita is 3rd from right.

 This was a toughy! We narrowed it down to two ladies. What really gave it away was the A-list actress whose parents run a cosmetic surgery clinic. None other than our dear Indian Idol herself, Priyanka Chopra. Back in 2009, she inaugurated Studio Aesthetique, a cosmetic surgery clinic run by her parents, Drs. Ashok and Madhu Chopra.

Ronnie and Zarina.

Masand mentioned this producer's wife got her first tummy tuck at the Chopra clinic, two years ago i.e. in 2009. That year she only did three films, one of the films with a big budget was Kaminey (with a budget of Rs. 35 Crores). UTV Motion Pictures produced that movie, under Ronnie Screwvala, leaving the plastic surgery obsessed wife to possibly be his second Missus, Zarina Screwvala, nee Mehta.

Zarina, seems more business minded and now that she's being seen more and more in Hollywood, perhaps she thinks it's time for an oomph factor! She co-founded some of UTV's most popular divisions, and she's produced a handful of Hollywood films as well.

Likewise, Priyanka Chopra's Anjaana Anjaani was being filmed throughout the US in 2009. It was being produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. His wife, Wardha is looking might finer than a few years back. 

This was her in 2009:

This was her at last week's party for Arpita Khan. She's the one on the right:

That last part of Masand's peice has us thinking it could be either Zarina or Wardha. He mentions a multi-starrer film which just recently wrapped up its filming in London. Ronnie, however, is producing Barfee, which was in London filming with Ranbir Kapoor and Ileana D'Cruz. Likewise, Sajid just wrapped up Housefull 2.

Hmm...keeping in mind Masand made his Playboy playmate comparison in regards to similar amount of fake/tweaked body parts, and not in reference to beauty, it's a tough one indeed!
