>> Let us close our eyes for a moment and meditate on the phenomenon that is Shah Rukh Khan; last spotted, the superstar was delighting a select crowd of Mumbai’s ‘people who can read without moving their lips’ at Shashi Tharoor’s book launch with his easy wit; before that cocky hat slung low he was checking out Farrah Khan’s abs and showing off his own, and before that attempting to fly off a railing when his team won the final match of the IPL. Articulate, urbane, secular, sexy, intelligent self-deprecating and garrulous this motor mouth has brought wit and a certain cosmic shrug in to the national narrative. “This is who I am,” it appears SRK has been trying to tell anyone who will listen, “Good, bad, ugly, charming, disgusting, dimpled or obnoxious. Deal with it.”
