All roads in Goa led to Kala Accademy, as Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan was here to inaugurate the 38th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2007. From eight-year-old Harshda to her mother and a huge bunch of aunts — age no bar — they all thronged to have a glimpse of their favourite actor.
“I love Shah Rukh Khan. I just came to see him. I saw him, but he was in the car,” said Harshda, a class IV student of Sharda Mandir, who had come Friday to see Shah Rukh Khan.
Asked which Shah Rukh Khan movies she had seen, Harshda said: “I have seen his ‘Om Shanti Om’ in Innox, but I liked him more in ‘Main Hoon Na’.”
If Harshda was over the moon, her mother Sunita was no less excited.
“We have been waiting here for more than an hour. But what I didn’t like was that Shah Rukh didn’t wave at us. We were all here to see him,” she told IANS.
