Talk:Shah Rukh Khan/Archive 4

message: The development project, a tribute by ‘King Khan’ in response to the love and affection shown by the people of the U.A.E. to Indian cinema, Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard will be located on the Dana Island in Ras Al Khaimah.
This is the latest in the series of endorsements and signature developments that are coming up in Dubai with names such as Brad Pitt, Boris Becker and Tiger Woods continuously doing the rounds.
Khan will work closely with Los Angeles based architect Tony Ashai in the design concept of the beachfront community comprising 10 residential towers, it was announced during a press conference here.
Announcing the project with T.S.A. Group, Shah Rukh Khan said, “Indian cinema has enjoyed strong emotional ties with the U.A.E. and Arab cine-goers for decades. The Arab world is Hindi film industry’s strongest foreign market.
“Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard is my tribute to the love and affection shown by the people of the U.A.E. to Indian cinema.  I have lent my name to the project and I intend to share and transfer my passion for design and living spaces into this world class community that residents will be proud of.”
Scheduled for completion in 2012, Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard will have residences including specially designed studios, and one-and two-bedroom apartments and townhouses. It will also have beach front features piers and boardwalks besides marine sports and leisure facilities.
Shafi Toffic, President of T.S.A. Group, said, “With a fan base of over three billion people worldwide, Shah Rukh Khan is the most successful name in the movie industry globally. It is our honor to be associated with him to develop a premium, resort-style community on Dana Island, Ras Al Khaimah, a fast developing tourism and lifestyle destination offering peaceful pristine surroundings.”
Tony Ashai, Principal, Ashai Design Corporation, U.S.A., commented, “This project is very special to me because of Shah Rukh Khan’s involvement in the concept and design.”
Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard will be part of Dana Island, which will eventually house several hotels, a shopping centre and commercial complexes spread across 6.3 million square metres.
T.S.A. Group will showcase the boulevard at Cityscape Dubai 2008 running here from October 6 to 9. Rakeen is the master planner and development arm of the Ras Al Khaimah government in the UAE.

thread_title:  Khan's Malaysian knighthood 

message: Dedicated to World Earth Day, the channel here Monday launched a special music video titled “Earth - A Song for Life” and messages by actors Shah Rukh, Preity, Kunal Kapoor, Rahul Bose and Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal on the Internet.
The lyrics have been penned by Sameer of “Sawaariya” fame, Sandeep Chowta has composed the music and Bangalore-based music band Karma6 has lent its voice for the song that inspires people to care about mother earth.
“The sole intention of the music is to inspire viewers and listeners to realize that even one small step can help save our world,” said Chowta.
Netizens can log on to www.natgeotv.co.in to download the song.
“We are extremely happy that these talented stars have joined us in our endeavour to protect our world,” Nikhil Mirchandani, managing director of National Geographic Channel (South Asia), said in a press statement.
“Music can reach out to people across borders. We were convinced that this would be a unique way to spread the message and inspire the youth to be more environmentally aware .
“The song strikes an emotional chord with the messages, and has an extremely youthful and fresh feel to it. We hope that this anthem will inspire today’s youth to do their bit for a better future,” he maintained.
Shah Rukh in his message said he is optimistic the country’s youth would succeed in making the earth a better place to live in.
“I believe my children will breathe easier. I believe there will be nicer things around them to look at. I believe they will be closer to nature. I’m a non-cynic,” Shah Rukh said.
“I’m a very positive thinker and I believe in the power of the youth, and I believe in the sensitivity of the youth. I think the youth is going to be very sensitive to the changing scenario around the world and they will put their best foot forward and make our earth a cleaner, greener, nicer and a better place to live in,” he added.
The actors said even small initiatives like discontinuing the use of plastic can contribute largely in bringing a change.
“My message to all those people out there for Earth Day would be - please try saving the planet, you don’t have to do a very big thing, all you can do is use as little plastic as you can. So if you don’t want Mumbai to drown in the rain or London to have lots of rain or excessive heat anywhere around the world, save it in your little way by using lesser plastic,” urged Preity.
“If one has to go across to the nearby garden for a walk or a jog, why don’t you walk (instead of using a vehicle). I think these are the really simple common sense ways that are not head-in-the-clouds unrealistic, but definitely feet-on-the-ground realistic,” says Rahul Bose in his message.
Sibal said: “Let us preserve nature and thereby preserve ourselves. We can achieve this goal only if we change - change the way we live, change the way we think, change the way we act.”

replies: text: I have edited this to reflect the basics. The 2 references stating both parents to be Pathan was both poor and one reference wasn't even a working link. HIs mother was most certainly not Pathan, and the above writer is correct to mention that unless one describes this point of tribal heritage more explicitly (i.e. which Pashtun tribe he belongs to) which it doesn't, it appears to be adisputed point, with no proof and hence no place on wikipedia. HIs father Taj Mohammed Sahib's actual ancestry has never been recorded or declared in any written verifiable sources, hence I believe the appropriate edits which can cite the basic true info have been made and should remain, until further info can be found and brought to light.--~Raja~ (talk) 13:18, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

message: In the biography part of Shahrukh Khan on wikipedia, I was surprised to read the below paragraph
"Khan said to the B News coorespondent that he will be directing a new movie, King of Bollywood, which will be releasing on Christmas of 2009. He said that he has already started working on his new movie. He says that he is very confident that this movie will be a blockbuster hit. The actor is Shahrukh Khan himself and the actress is Rakhee Sawant. He said that he has invested 35 Crores in the making of this film. The movie has been filmed in China, Japan, India, Canada, USA, and Russia. He has dedicated all his time in the making of the movie which is said to be releasing on Christmas of 2009."
I have not read any such news anywhere, and according to me it is an act of vandalism. But the article is semi protected and I couldn't edit it. So anyone who has privileges to edit the article please remove above paragraph and wait for any citation which I know would no be there.

message: Laxmi Mondal of Banhipal village in Orissa's Kendrapara district has never watched any of Shah Rukh Khan's movies, as the village has been without electricity all these years. But for this poor village woman the Bollywood actor has turned into a real life hero by lighting up their lives.
Shah Rukh has funded a solar power harnessing project which provides light to the village after sunset.
'There is no electricity in our village and we don't expect it to be provided by the government in the near future. So the electric lanterns have become very handy for us. Though we used kerosene lanterns earlier, they couldn't be relied upon due to the brisk breeze throughout the day as our village is just a few kilometres away from the Bay of Bengal,' said Mondal.
Banhipal is not the only village which is a beneficiary of Shah Rukh's largesse. There are six other villages - Ahirajpur, Okilapala, Palachua, Rangani, Denlasahi and Gupti in Kendrapara district which have benefited from this solar harnessing project which has been fully funded by Shah Rukh Khan.
The project is part of the Greenathon initiative of NDTV called 'Lighting Billon Lives'. Technical assistance has been provided by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI).
Each village has been provided with about 50 solar lanterns with a single charging point. The lanterns are charged every morning through solar panels set on rooftops.
The charging of lanterns, distribution and collection of money are mainly manned by women members of the village.
Though Shah Rukh has borne the installation cost, the maintenance cost is taken care of by the villagers themselves.
'We have a corpus to meet the running expenses of these lanterns. We raise the corpus by charging just Rs.2.50 from every villager. We charge extra if one takes the lanterns for use during festivals and special occasions. And if a person from a neighbouring village takes it then he is charged Rs.10 per night,' said Biraja Prasad Pati, of Nature Club, a local NGO which implemented the project.
These villages are primarily small clusters of Bengali-speaking people. The villagers use these lanterns not only to light their homes but also for other purposes.
'We use these lanterns for different purposes. Our men take these lanterns to scare away wild boars during night as they often destroy our standing paddy. The fishermen take these lanterns for fishing during night and our children study with these lanterns,' said Urmila Modal, from Okilapala village, adding that they often give these lanterns free of cost to meritorious students of the village.
Apart from these seven villages, Shah Rukh's generosity has helped in bringing light to two other villages - Jadapala and Tarajodi in Mayurbhanj district of the state.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.250.246.167 (talk) 12:02, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  shahrukh lighting villages 

message: Shah Rukh appeared on the talk show 'Oye! its Friday' on 17/1/09. He stated that he writes his name as two separate words 'shah' meaning prince and 'rukh' meaning face or direction. he also mentioned that several Parsis in Mumbai use it as a single word, but he doesn't and that his name has Persian origins.
I'll wait for two weeks to see if there is further discussion on this issue (there has been on the past) But now that he has explained how he spells it himself on national television and even given a lengthy explanation for it, this matter should be resolved.

:Sounds like a good idea to me, why don't you move the article to "Shah Rukh Khan." I don't know if you need to wait two weeks for feedback either, I'd wait just a few days but I can't see this as being a serious issue. If you do move the article, check corresponding links to make certain the redirection works. -Classicfilms (talk) 18:06, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm also aware of the fact that he prefers his name spelled separately. However, it does not change the fact that his original name is Shahrukh in one single word. It has already been discussed many a time in the past. "Shah Rukh" is still his alternative name -- if it's the name he prefers, the name that sounds better or whatever reason it may be -- his name is "Shahrukh" until there is an official confirmation of the matter (eg he changed his name officially, not just prefers it to be spelled in some different manner). Shahid • Talk2me 18:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Shahid - Ok, I could really go either way on this - my concern is following Wikipedia guidelines which state that we need to create articles in accordance to sources. Right now I see the YouTube source above which does indicate that SRK prefers two words. However, if you could provide the sources which state that his official name is one word and thus override the YouTube video above we can move from there. And can you link to whatever discussions already exist on this topic? Since I'm not familiar (and I suspect others are not as well) with the sources or discussions that you are referring to, it would help to have the links here and we can then continue the discussion. We should probably link to them in the body of the article as well. -Classicfilms (talk) 19:30, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey dear friend! I don't really get what exactly needs to be sourced here and at the same time don't know what this youtube video offers to the understanding of the issue. He is Shahrukh - that is his birth name, that has always been his name and he had always been referred to as Shahrukh until several years ago when people started using Shah Rukh as well considering his statement. The fact itself that he clarifies his own preference speaks for itself - his name is Shahrukh and Shah Rukh is the way he prefers it to be spelled. Most of his films (all his early films and most of his films nowadays) credit him as Shahrukh. His last film, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, has his name spelled accordingly. If you want sources that his birth name is Shahrukh Khan, there's no peroblem. Shahid • Talk2me 20:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

text: I am thinking that this is an issue which has confused many (myself included) since I have seen both spellings. I am sure what you are saying is correct but we need to make certain that the Wikipedia always follows Wikipedia:Verifiability rules - so yes, it would be a great help to the article to include one or two RS that confirm that his official name is one word. I don't quite know how to do it - maybe a source next to his name in the lead, maybe a small sentence or two about his name with a source - I'll leave that up to you. But I do think somewhere in the article we need to add a reliable source which clarifies that the one word spelling is his birth name (and maybe another RS that he prefers the two word spelling).

I think the Rajiv Gandhi Award for Excellence in the Field of Entertainment in 2002 and Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award from the Government of India in 2005 are definately awards worth noting. The Padma Shri is a national decoration which was awarded by the President of India and is generally the sort of content that is noteworthy in an encyclopedia. The wax work in a major museum in Paris is also of note but I've restructured it -it also illustrated the growing popularity of Bollywood not ony in London but in France too.

See "Shahrukh Khan (Hindi: शाहरुख़ ख़ान, Urdu: شاہ رخ خان) born November 2, 1965, sometimes credited as Shah Rukh Khan, is an Indian actor, who has been a prominent Bollywood figure, as well as a film producer and television host." 
Somehow one gets an impression that he has been a prominent Bollywood figure and not anymore. I would propose something of the line "Shahrukh Khan (Hindi: शाहरुख़ ख़ान, Urdu: شاہ رخ خان) born November 2, 1965, sometimes credited as Shah Rukh Khan, is a prominent Bollywood actor and film producer." Any objection?  Zencv Lets discuss 11:13, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Does Shah Rukh Khan's recent Taekwondo "Black Belt" honor from the South Korean government lose notability to deserve a mention ? 
:The news of Shah Rukh Khan getting conferred the prestigious Black Belt award in taekwondo from the government of South Korea made major news headlines both in print and electronic media. It's always notable when an international award of this sort is being conferred to anyone. Simultaneously he was also employed as the goodwill ambassador from South Korea to India in the field of arts, culture and tourism. It drew tremendous eagerness among general public as it was a step further aimed to strengthen the bilateral relationships between the two counties India and South Korea, which in contemporary situations is of huge concern. I feel it needs get a mention in Shah Rukh Khan's page. Constructive opinions are welcome.
::It is of course notable, but as notable to be mentioned in his lead biography. It is in fact mentioned in his awards page. Apart from that, he was awarded so many honorary doctorated and other such awards that this one does not really deserve a special mention. Shahid • Talk2me 20:54, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Famous Hollywood screenplay writer Paul Schrader has decided to cast Shahrukh Khan in his next film ‘Xtrme City’ which is based on Mumbai underworld. Paul the man behind ‘Taxi Driver’ and ‘American Gigolo’ has tied up with Mushtaq Shiekh and Anubhav Sinha to make a USD10 million-budgeted cops and mafia film titled ‘Xtrme City’.
It is learnt that Shahrukh Khan has given his nod to star in the film and all the credits goes to Mushtaq Shiekh, who wrote the screenplays for ‘Om Shanti Om’, ‘Billu’ and is also working on SRK’s under-production sci-fi thriller ‘Ra1’.
‘Xtrme City’ will be made keeping in mind the choice of the domestic and international audiences. It is an action thriller based on the backdrop of criminal orbit of Mumbai
Paul quips about visiting India, “Spending time in India and working with a Bollywood talent like Shiekh has inspired and excited me to make a film accessible and meaningful to both Indian and American cultures”.

replies: text: Now it's not only Shahrukh Khan, but whole of the media indulged in calling him Shah Rukh Khan or SRK rather than his original name Shahrukh Khan. So I feel it needn't be there like "calling himself" or something like that. This name of his has been a public fav off late, and it has to be accepted more than anything else. At the same time, I feel it is a bit derogatory as well to use the verse like "calling himself" for a person of Shah Rukh Khan's stature in Wikipedia. I have also included "media" to indicate that in that section.
23:26, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

text: First off, IMDb and Amazon are important enough to have significance. Secondly, his name is Shahrukh Khan originally and it is the media who started calling him Shah Rukh, a version he may prefer but an encyclopedia does not have to follow. Books use different versions of his names and he is an example for you: Still Reading Khan. Films also use different versions, see for instance Veer-Zaara which I could check now. Other examples include Chak De India and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. So your statement is simple incorrect. If you want take all the 70 films he's appeared in and count how many of them spell it as "Shahrukh" and how many spell it as "Shah Rukh". Most importantly, make a simple google search and you will see that "Shahrukh" gives more hits than "Shah Rukh". Last but not least, this statement, "calling himself and credited in his movies, DVDs and books as Shah Rukh Khan" is unverified and unsourced, the phrase "calling himself", as agreed by another editor, is not encyclopedic, and I challenge you to come with sources. If you can add a source which supports the claim, then I do not oppose. Shahid • Talk2me 16:29, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I see only his successful movies are being exaggerated here and the box office failures which bombed drastically are just sidelined in the mask of "did not do well at the box office" or "was not a box office success" or have no mention at all. For some strange reason I couldn't find the word "Flop" anywhere in the whole page for any of his movies. To name a few, heres a list of some of his biggest box office disasters which are actually termed as "FLOP" all over the world (even in Hollywood) but esp in Indian industry (or Bollywood as we call). In all a total of 32 flops (27 of in which he starred as lead role) goes to his credit. 
* Chamatkar
* Dil Aashna Hai
* Maya Memsaab
* King Uncle
* Anjaam
* Zamana Deewana
* Guddu
* Oh Darling! Yeh Hai India!
* Ram Jaane
* Trimurti
* English Babu Desi Mem
* Chaahat
* Army
* Dushman Duniya Ka
* Gudgudee
* Koyla
* Duplicate
* Baadshah (was a flop and not an Average Grosser as stated)
* Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (no mention at all of its box office failure and also being his first produced movie)
* Hey Ram
* One 2 Ka 4
* Asoka
* Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (film was a delayed release but never did well at box office
* Yeh Lamhe Judaai Ke
* Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye
* Paheli
Below are the films where his extended appearances also couldn't save the box office fate.
* Shakti: The Power
* Gaja Gamini
* Bhoothnath
* Billu
* Dulha Mil Gaya
His list of Average grossing movies.
* Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (Average)
* Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (Average)
* Dil Se (Average)
* Josh (was definitely an Average grosser and never a box office success as mentioned)
* Yes Boss (Average)
* Chalte Chalte (Average)
* Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (was only Average Grosser and not box office success as mentioned)
I am trying to understand that was it coined anywhere that the term "Flop" cannot/may not/should not be used for Sharukh Khan. I remember even legendary star Amitabh Bachhan have his list of Hit's and Flop's, so whats wrong in that. 
Having said this, I would like to say that I neither a die hard fan of Sharukh nor do I hate him from the core of my heart. As an constant reader of Wiki which I believe is one of the major contributor to improve my knowledge and IQ, I am just being neutral and expect it to be fair by all means for everybody on earth. I understand being positive and focusing on same is better but then we prefer Wiki for its very neutral and info-as-it-is kinda articles. Otherwise this article is no different than most of the articles published by the various corrupt and biased News and Magazines publishing houses in India except that Wiki provides a detailed and organised informational data.

text: Theman244 is basically correct here: every film that Khan made that was widely released, released at a major reasonably large sized film festival, or that otherwise was discussed widely should be listed here.  Under no circumstances should a movie be not mentioned because it wasn't popular.  Notability is never based on the quality or success of a movie. The only things that would be excluded are private films or films never released (even those might be included if there was sufficient coverage in reliable sources). So, for example, we don't include home movies he shot of his family, or a short film he made in school.  However, we shouldn't evaluate any of the movies with terms like "flop", unless those terms were used in reliable sources, per WP:NPOV.  Qwyrxian (talk) 00:06, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously I agree with this observation but that wasn't my point. There's notability per se, which means a project deserves to have an article on WP, and there's notability in a biography article. In a biography about an actor who has appeared in over 70 films, we do not mention all his films (which does not at all mean we should overlook his flop films). A film like Yeh Lamhe Judaai Ke had been delayed for 10 years when it was released and hardly anyone was aware of its existence even after release. This one is non-notable in Khan's biography, according to me. Same with movies like Billu and Army in which he only had special appearances. Many of his flop films are mentioned and discussed on the article, from what I see. A quick glance shows that the commercial failure of such films as Anjaam, Dil Se, Baadshah, all his films in 1996, is mentioned. I am definitely willing to expand the article, and I've been planning to do it for quite some time. The article must mention some of his performances which were not well received (even if the movies did well, like KANK for one). Shahid • Talk2me 18:37, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Finally, we need some clear indication that it's even important--even if we can verify that he is bisexual doesn't necessarily mean it is important enough to belong in the article. If you have actual reliable sources, preferably one that quotes Sharukh himself, then feel free to re-raise the issue. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:43, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Garbage. Urdu is definitely not "the language of Indian Muslims". Most Indian Muslims are not native Urdu speakers, only the ones in Uttar Pradesh. Bengali and Tamil Muslims aren't Urdu speakers, for instance. I believe Mr Khan is ethnically a Pashtun, so his native language is Pashto, not Urdu.

thread_title:  Biography 

message: In a meet with the Times of India, SRK has stated that his mother is from Hyderabad. I'm not sure if it means Hyderabad, Pakistan or India but a sentence following it says "Even as a young boy, I remember her telling me about these two great actors. I am also impressed with the work of Mammooty and Mohanlal. These are actors I deeply admire." This could not have been said if his family had influences from Pakistan and in Hyderabad, India, there are a significant number of Malayalis. And Mammoty and Mohanlal have quite a lot of followers there. Doesn't it mean that his mother tongue is partially Urdu or Telugu? Secret of success Talk to me 07:01, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reports of doing Bollywood Version of Brokeback Mountain 

message: Why is ity that where the Urdu-Hindi cinema of Mollywood (formerly Bollywood) is mentioned a Hindu nationalist of non-contexualised origin by the Urdu worded name of 'Shahid' gets involved? Let me put some corrections in this discussions. Shah Rukh Khan's father was from the Frontier city of Peshawar. Peshawar was the main urban centre of the province named as North Western Frontier Province by the British in 1901 - until then it was part of Mashriqi Afghanistan subah and in dispute between the British and Afghan Emirs. The people of Pakhtunkhwa still do not recognise the borders between Pakistan and Afghanistan which is known as Durand Line. The implications of this fact has on Shah Rukh Khan and Feroze Khan's stories of their origin is immense. So when either of them suggests that their origins are in Afghanistan then they really mean present day Pakistan. I know this stick's in the throats of Bal Thakray's chelays but truth is truth. 
Shahrukh's father married a Punjabi woman and they settled in modern day India thus from his mother's side SRK's mother tongue is Urdu. Given Shah Rukh's father's origin in Peshawar, a kharay meaning a townie and thus not a Pakhtun but an Awan of Hindko speaking family (this is the same for Raj Kapur family who were also Hindkowan and not Pakhtuns). The fact that SRK's father also is sometimes credited with the suffix of Tanoli means that he was from Tanawal region of Hazara, east of Swat on border with Azad Kashmir of Pakistan. 
The above clearly means that SRK's linguistic background is Urdu and thus this must be included in the article's beginning. Moarrikh (talk) 19:41, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

message: So I've found an old rediff.com interview with Kamal Nahta, and something he said was interesting:
Kamal: 'You’ve dabbled in distribution in the past, but you never got involved in the day-to-day business of distribution. What made you get into the thick of production activity?
SRK: I turned distributor with Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa because nobody was buying the film. I had Rs 400,000 and the film’s price for Bombay was Rs 1.2 million. So Ratan Jain, Vijay Galani and myself brought in Rs 400,000 each and formed a distribution company in the name of my wife, Gauri. We made money in that film, so we bought other films like Chaahat and Oh Darling Yeh Hai India. But, just like in distribution, I didn’t dabble in day-to-day production either. I don’t understand accounts, how will I get into day-to-day production activity?

replies: text: I am surprised at that example. Though majority of the pics are free they add nothing to that article. But when you scroll through that article, 2/3rd of it is full of text. Whereas in SRK's article you reach half way & his filmography table starts and then is the list of references. The byte-size of SRK's page is probably more than Bette's as Bette's uses more references to books. (You see, they finish in lesser words). 9 pictures of SRK seems fair. But they should have some connection with the neighbouring text. Shouldnt it? These ones through little light on his career. They show him promoting MNIK (Big deal?!), attending Berlin Film Fest (Big deal?) and another one is of some Zee Carnival which hasnt even been mentioned in article. If at all, him beating Shirish Kunder would be a better snap to add. hehehehe  -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 13:30, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
