A King called Shah Rukh Khan!

Was watching TV last Sunday and there was this talk show going on in CNBC channel. The topic was IPL(as that is the most happening thing in my country now). With the host(a lady) was Mr. Shah Rukh Khan and two others. The questions were mostly based on aspects connected to IPL, the game, the buying of the teams by individuals, their involvement with their teams and things like that. I would like to share with you what i heard from SRK. He was just too good. He's sharp and he means business with every word. He is very shrewd and very efficient. To prove that he answered a lot of questions beautifully. I now know what is 'charm'. God, some people are gifted with it but, some really don't stop at the natural ability and go ahead to tweak this. And SRK is definitely one among them. His eyes say it all. They are razor edged and it speaks volumes.

I missed a big part of this interview and I'm ruing the fact that i did miss it. Because the answers that he were giving when i was viewing were superb. I loved listening to what him and watching him. I feel a person can learn a lot from him. His presentation skills are top notch. He utilizes the experience he has gained all over the years by acting on screen. He presents himself with grace and the speech is just flawless. He seems prepared and never at any point of time seem to stammer. Facts form the base for everything he speaks. Let me jolt out some points that he spoke that were seeming effortlessly spoken.

He is smart at times when he need to take cover on topics he is not very sure off. For example i felt it because, on being asked about release of Public offering of the IPL teams or IPL franchise, he just shrugged off the tricky question by saying he was not literate enough to think or comment on it. He said he didn't understand about virtual money business(Stocks) involved with the share market. And that he was rather happy being an old businessman who runs a shop and would be happy if he could pay his bill and have his food at end of the bussiness day! Pretty good unh!

Passion for work and concentrating on what he does has been his style. The king khan as we all know works very hard. As everybody knows how he worked hard to build his dream house and stuff like that we read here and there. During the talk, he said he loves his team and would still like to own his team and he supports only Kolkota Knight Riders. He also mentioned the fact that how he was marketing his team using his brand image. Because this kind of club event at this high level is new to India and he is getting the people to the stands to watch cricket with him, cheer for teams and in turn that helps popularize this format of the Game. Also on his abilities to get housewives and kids to ground to watch matches in spite of matches being held in the evening when all TV soaps are timed to air!! That's one achievement i would laud for. Also he spoke volumes on how he managed to find investors for the team and is struggling hard to give his hundred percent for brand image building so that his investors get the best out it. And how he wanted to seperate the huge burden of advertising for his team by not putting that pressure on players. So that they can concentrate on cricket. He said he is doing every bit that is possible from his end for the team and he wanted his team to compliment his hard work by giving good performance in the ground.... Now Mr.Ganguly and his team you've a good leader and your goal has been set. So go and support his leader by winning matches for him. As of now Kolkata is loosing.

To sum it up King Khan also mentioned that, he has lost more than 3 Kilos in 3 weeks!! Hmm, thats something. i liked it when he said that expectation of people always are getting bigger. And guess with what he compared it? Ya, his recently acquired 6 pack abs! He said now he thinks it would be a 8 pack expectation. :)
