All through the year Shah Rukh Khan has one or the other reason to enjoy. This has been happening regularly for some time now. One after the other the reasons come and go giving the proclamation that Shah Rukh is here to stay in the top most pedestal with the title '"King of Bollywood" for a long time to come In quick succession Shah Rukh bagged the Filmfare Award for the best actor for the bold role of the hockey coach in 'Chak De India'. He also attracted the Zee Cine Awards 2008 best actor award for the same movie. Perhaps this may be how immortal icons are made in the history of a film Industry. After his statue in Madame Tussauds museum in London came up some time ago, now the symbol of the spread of his stardom in France has come up. The Badshah of Bollywood unveiled his own wax statue at the Grevin Wax Museum in Paris. Now wonder why he is called the global superstar of Bollywood. The admission for the ceremony inside the museum was strictly for the invitees. King Khan's close friend Director Karan Johar and wife Gauri accompanied him. It is a certain exclusiveness and difference that always helps in keeping the title of the king intact. Madame Tussauds museum has Megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan in its ranks as the faces of global Bollywood other than King Khan himself but The Grevin Wax Museum is adding to its exhibits a statue of a Bollywood star for the first time. Shah Rukh Khan is the second Indian after Mahtma Gandhi to have the honour to be one of the exhibits in the famous museum in Paris established in 1922. No wonder as events like these keeps on coming to the man giving him an edge proving again that this person was destined to be the king.
"Not even love lasts forever" - Vikram Bhatt
Vikram Bhatt's Summer of Frost, the book penned down by the director, promises to be a revelation. "The book is semi-autobiographical," Vikram reveals. He adds, "Thus the words written in the chapters have been a cathartic experience for me." Vikram says, "Summer of Frost is more about love and explains why once you fall in love, you never want to get out of it. But the fact remains that nothing lasts forever! Not even love! That's the bitter truth." Vikram says that all the women who stepped into his life always found him to be caring and loving. A source close to Vikram says, "Vikram has been linked with a lot of actresses. This book is not about sensationalism. This comes straight from Vikrams' heart". Vikram further adds, "The final draft of my book is practically ready. I am just giving final touches to it. 'Summer of Frost' will hit the stands by March or April next year." And already there is a long queue of publishers waiting!

I'm grateful and indebted to him forever -Nitin
Hero Nithin has today thanked Powerstar Pawan Kalyan again from the bottom of his heart, and made Powerstar realise his love for him at "A..Aa" audio launch. "My entry into films is inspired by Pawan Kalyan sir's Toliprema. And then, for my first film Jayam audition, when Teja garu asked me to dance, I've dances those swinging movements from Tammudu and Badri. Later when he asked me to enact a scene, I've reproduced Sakuntala Akkiaya scene from Tammudu with all characters played by myself. After giving that life in 2002, Pawan garu gave me second life by gracing Ishq audio in 2012. He came now in 2016 and this film will be huge hit. I'm grateful and indebted to him forever", said Nitin. No doubt, this is a moving speech from Nitin and an upright tribute to Pawan from the youngster.
From RK to SRK, Bollywood forever in China
There are hardly any Indians in this booming capital of the southern Chinese island province, known for its sandy beaches, exotic sea food and spanking new high-rises. But Bollywood is never far behind – if you are ‘Yindu’ (Chinese for India and Indians), they expect you to sing “Awara Hoon”. The Raj Kapoor-starrer was a roaring success in the newly-Communist China of the 1950s and continues to strike a chord with the Chinese, especially the older generation, as it kindles a yearning for freedom and a carefree life. Says Li Ming, a 50-something restaurateur in downtown Haiku: “I love the joyous beats of this song. It has been translated into Chinese and is often played in discos and at parties.” Guo, a student at Hainan University says in her halting English: “If they (the Chinese here) meet Yindu, they feel they must know how to sing and dance. Indians are really good dancers.” At a reception hosted for visiting Indian academics in this coastal capital of Hainan province, Chinese scholars could not resist the temptation to sing “Awara Hoon,” each in their own inimitable Chinese accent. China’s affair with Bollywood has had ups and downs. In fact, Indian films were among the first foreign films shown in China after it started opening up in the 1970s and continue to frame the Chinese view of India. Another Indian film that became a bit of rage with Chinese teenagers was “Noori” in the 1980s. The interest in Bollywood faded off into nostalgia soon after, but with India emerging as a rising power along with China in the late 1990s and with more Chinese travelling overseas, the fascination for Bollywood song and dance spectaculars has been revived again. Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai are the new favourites. Films like “Asoka” and “Devdas” have been screened by many Chinese TV channels, says Zhang Kang, an expatriate Chinese who lived in New York for many years. “Lagaan” – called in China “Once Upon a Time in India” about a patriotic movie that dramatises a cricket game played between a rag-tag team of villagers and British imperial authorities – has also caught the imagination of the new generation. In the last few years, India has deftly indulged in Bollywood promotion in China, part of soft power diplomacy that both sides feel help in creating a positive atmosphere for nurturing bilateral ties that often get entangled in sensitive issues. “It’s important to promote better understanding of each other’s culture,” says Ma Jiali, a South Asia expert at China’s Institute of Contemporary International Relations. Two years ago, the “Merchants of Bollywood”, a musical conceived by Australian Tony Gough and choreographed by Mumbai-based Vaibhavi Merchant, travelled across 10 cities to China, making the Chinese sway to the beats of Hindi songs. At the Shanghai Expo last year, many Hindi film stars descended on the city. A 90-minute lavish musical, “Ticket to Bollywood”, gave the Chinese a flavour of the legendary Bollywood razzmatazz. There are also talks between Bollywood and Indian Chinese filmmakers, but a genuine crossover film has yet to take off as it’s difficult to get permission for foreign companies to shoot in the country. The Chinese movie industry follows a quota system which only allows around 20 foreign films to be screened a year.
