King Khan's Rakhi Gift To Didi
It was don’s tryst
with the police and the result was predictably electrifying. SRK received rakhi
from chief minister Mamta Banerjee and promised to return to his “favorite city” for the film festival in November, armed with the better
knowledge of the language.
King Khan had the audience swaying to his
moves at ‘Jai ho’, the annual Kolkata police event held at the Netaji stadium on
Saturday evening at Kolkata. He had local super star and MP Dev for company, while
the chief minister was the chief guest. Looking every bit the Don SRK stormed
into the stage in a black suit, sporting dark glasses and a pony tail. “Jise gyarah mulko kI police pakad nahin sakti
use Kolkata police ne pakad liya”, declared
Dev taking off from the famous dialogue of ‘Don’.
SRK nodded in
agreement and surrendered happily to the men in uniform. He went on to match
steps with them on the dais sang together and even took an impromptu lesson in Bangla.
“Thank you very much Didi for having me over: “1 Iss bar main time pe pahochh gaya. Main jab bhi late aata hoon to Didi bahot
gussa karti hai” .
It was Mamata Banerjee’s turn to do her part and tied rakhi around
her wrist and SRK touched her feet.
“This on behalf of the people of Bengal” said Mamata. SRK said, “I am so happy
that didi loves me so much. But I was not ready for this and am not carrying a
gift. But I promised to send you a gift tomorrow” he said. “Having you there is
a gift in itself” said Mamata Didi. It was then time to set the stage on fire
which the bollywood badshah did with aplomb in his trademark energetic manner.
He jumped swayed and swirled holding out his arm in his customary style and the
audience went wild. The evening was flagged off with SRK dancing with a lady
constable echo was asked to come on stage. He then had Dev matching steps with
him for ‘chhaiya chhaiya’.
