When Shah Rukh Khan licked Aamir’s feet

To say that the news we bring you in this article is sensational, would be an understatement of gigantic proportions. Shah Rukh Khan fans will not be happy after reading this story and we can’t argue with them because we too feel this is atrocious.

Before we go on any further… let us cut and paste an excerpt from Aamir Khan’s latest blog entry:

I’m sitting under a tree, on the edge of a valley, approximately 5000 feet above sea level. The river Krishna flows far below us snaking its way among the Sahyadri mountains. A cool breeze is blowing, jannat ki hawa (breeze from the heavens), as my mother calls it. Ammi, Ira and Junaid are by my side and we are in the middle of one of our favourite board games ‘Settlers Of Catan’. Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?

Now, before you jump to any conclusions let me add that Shahrukh is the name of our dog. And before you jump to any further conclusions let me add that I had nothing to do with naming him. In fact Shahrukh is the dog of the caretakers of our house. When I bought this house it came with the caretakers and their dog! Apparently Shahrukh (the actor) was shooting for a commercial in this house a few years ago, and that very day the caretakers bought a pup…, and named him Shahrukh. What are the chances of me buying a house which comes with a dog called Shahrukh!!!

Some of my friends claim that I bought the house just because of the dog. I would have to be a serious fan of Shahrukh’s to want to do that. Your guess…

All I can say is I’m waiting for him to come over.

Well Shahrukh is once again begging for my attention, so let me get back to him. He is smelling too much, I think he needs a bath. “Heel boy, heel.”

Now if that wasn’t enough, Aamir continues to mull the situation with more insults towards a national institution. He goes on to write, “Well Shah Rukh is once again begging for my attention, so let me get back to him. He is smelling too much, I think he needs a bath. Heel boy, heel.”

So are we right to assume that this Shah Rukh does what other pet dogs do… which includes licking the feet of your master?

Now we ask you, fans of Shah Rukh, fans of Aamir, fans of Bollywood… if this takes the biscuit… is this what Bollywood has become… do we now have to resort to tacky blog entries to take bites out of rival actors… was there any reason as to why Aamir has written about his dog… was it really necessary… could the dog not have been renamed… what if the dog was called Imran Khan (after Aamir’s nephew)… or Nasir Khan… or Junaid… or even Aamir Khan… would Aamir still keep that name… was the fact that the name was Shah Rukh that Aamir took the dog in…
