It's one of those public service ads he does sometimes.
So before Priyanka did a 12-character role in a film, Shah Rukh has already done a 12-character role in an ad. Or technically speaking, 3 ads. Still.. seeing them one after another is a bit disconcerting. I think ads is where he can act any way he pleases, while for films.. there're a lot of things for him to consider before he takes a role. However, I do agree with a commenter in a youtube post that Shah Rukh acts in films where if it hadn't been him acting in them, they would have flopped.
Take Dil To Pagal Hai, for example. What is the story about? It doesn't have a strong plot. And the way the story unfolds, there's no up or down moments and the climax.. does it even have a climax? So why do we love it so much? It's coz Shah Rukh's in it..ha! No surprise there. Is he trying to prove something to himself or is it becoz he doesn't have a nose for good scripts?? Sometimes I worry about his method of choosing movies ^^;; ..but hey, it's worked out for him so far!
Enjoy the ad~~

Here we go again~~
Full article: Source
uh oh.. after the Knight Riders, they're closing onto IIPM next. These 'journalists' really have it for anything Shah Rukh touches outside the realm of filmdom, don't they?
It's like... warrgghhhh, Shah Rukh buys a cricket team! Let's make mincemeat of it! *stab stab*, then... gyaarrrghhh, he's invited to IIPM as a quiz host?? Go find any garbage we can bury this school in! *stab tear tear claw stab*
I can even 'see' the blood spurting from all the virtual wounds. Urgh. Very ugly.
I don't feel like pasting it here... so if you're curious, click the link and read it from the actual page.

What is happening....??
These flashed in my head while I was reading the article:
What's Shah Rukh doing in B-school?
Shah Rukh Khan is all set to quiz some more. But this time around, it is not the aspiring crorepatis of the country who will face his rapidfire questions, but students of a B-school. Yes, Indian Institute of Planning and Management (IIPM) has roped in SRK to host their annual business and marketing quiz, not just for this time, but for the next three years. To be held in association with Planman Media’s magazine, 4Ps Business and Marketing, the idea is to make this India’s premiere B-school quizzing event.
Well, quizzes sure are big on the annual festival list of every business school, but IIPM wants it to be an important annual calendar event in the B-school fest circuit, by not only having SRK host it, but also by making sure that a huge number of international B-schools participate in this quiz. IIPM already boasts of a faculty from various Ivy League colleges from across the world.
Says Arindam Chaudhuri, Dean, IIPM, “The idea is to bring world-class elements in terms of education and the campus life of the students. At IIPM, we have laptops and WiFi campuses for all students, leading faculty from Ivy League B-Schools. We take all our students abroad for study tours in partnership with top B-Schools like Haas, Darden, Judge or McComb. And even this year, IIPM has already placed more than 2200 students in India and 45 students abroad!”
But why Shah Rukh? “Who else in India can make an event global by his sheer global popularity than Shah Rukh? He is perceived as the face of intelligent Bollywood because of his ‘Economics’ education background, his suave marketing skills and sharp intelligence. He is obviously the natural choice,” says Arindam. The finale of the quiz show, which will also be a part of the annual IIPM B-school fest – Amaze — will be held in Delhi — at the IIPM campus in Satbari.
When asked, SRK was his usual staccato short self, “I am coming to IIPM and it will be nice to be there.”
- Hoshiz, Shah Rukh is becoming an institution of excellence all by his own lonesome awesome self!
- "Who else in India can make an event global by his sheer global popularity than Shah Rukh?" ..who indeed. I dunno how it is in India, but Shah Rukh's fans in Malaysia are not just children and women, but also include some of our ministers and ministers' wives, and also an ex-Prime Minister. I think he's achieved that by being not just an excellent actor, but a trendsetter and a man of vision. Those of you who bother to read my blog would surely have read a lot of his interviews too... so you should know what I'm babbling about
- I know Shah Rukh has always said he's short... but coupling that word with 'staccato' and using it so familiarly as to call it 'usual' to describe his delivery style amuses me to no end...

The girl child is precious
"Not everybody is blessed with a daughter; only lucky people are blessed with this bundle of joy. Every daughter is a 'laadli' (adorable) and she is very special."
