It was a working Eid for Badshah Khan, in New Delhi to unveil Tag Heuer's India Racing Limited Edition Chronograph. The actor admitted that he was not very driven by Formula One, though impressed with the Buddh racing circuit and the cars.

He said he got confused with the noise in the circuit. But admitted that the late Ayrton Senna was his favourite, and he had seen his last race.

So who did he hope would win the India leg? "Jenson Button is my man," he said. And regarding Michael Schumacher, Badshah Khan said that he is one of the few people like Sachin Tendulkar whom you never ever want should retire, they should keep doing what they do best.

But sports apart, the actor said he was one person who didn't like being controlled by time, except when he was present for his TAG Heuer events. Numbers restrict him, be it the number game in Bollywood or the number slots actors are put like 30 crores, 100 crores, 150 crores. But even though he may avoid numbers, trade pundits are already slotting a 200 crore mark for Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

Shah Rukh Khan laughed and said, "See again they are restricting my creativity, but jokes apart it doesn't matter I make movies because I believe in them am not driven by numbers, truly."

But why is it even before his movie is released battle lines are drawn, it's SRK vs the rest of them? "You know am just tired with these so called battles or whatever you may call them, I make a movie or am part of project because I have faith in it, I give it my all that's it. I just focus on my project and am not concerned with what's happening around me, but it's okay I may matter to people if they create a good or bad hype around my movie, I must matter to them," he said.

Getting emotional about his soon to be released Jab Tak Hai Jaan, a movie which is special in more ways than one. Shah Rukh Khan narrated an incident related to the movie which he holds close to his heart. "You know my father used to tell me you should visit Kashmir with your father, in the sense, it's the place of my forefathers so if you visit it you must have your father with you. But my father passed on, and I didn't get an opportunity to shoot there till Yashi ji told me lets go we are going to Kashmir for Jab Tak Hain Jaan, I was surprised but thought of my father and said great am going to paradise with a father figure. Yash ji after canning the last shot with me on the jeep in Kashmir said, "Bas Shah Rukh , ab ho gaya". I said, "kya", Yashji said, "Ab main film nahin banaunga". I said, "Yeh kya bol rahe ho aisa nahi ho sakta", to which Yashji said, "Ab waqt hogaya", he hugged me and we both wept. We are very emotional people Yashji and me. But today when I look back to the incident I wonder Jab Tak hain jaan isn't just a film for me it's much more than that. I don't even know what to say about the film. Even if people ask me about Katrina or Anushka, what do I say. I don't know how to answer anything about the movie," Shah Rukh Khan said.

So, on a lighter note why are his heroines getting younger with each passing film? "The young girls like me and I like older women. Hahhaaa see I have the best.. guys just joking."


21 year and 70 films the Badshah of Bollywood says he is still unsure, but we are sure that if there is a king of hearts it's you King Khan.

Los Angeles, Jul 20: Hollywood stars Robert Downey Jr and Tom Holland have joined their "Avengers: Endgame" co-star Chris Evans in sending sweet messages to a young boy who saved his sister from a dog attack.

Six-year-old Bridger saved his four-year-old sister on July 9 by standing between her and a charging dog.

According to Nicole Noel Walker, his aunt, the child received 90 stitches after getting bitten by the canine.

After Walker reached out to the Avengers team through an Instagram post, Evans, in a video message, promised to send Bridger, an avid Avengers fan, "an authentic Captain America shield".

Now the 'Iron-Man' star promised he will gift Bridger something "special" on his next birthday.

"Bridger, you're a rockstar. I hear (Captain America) sent a shield your way. I'm gonna do one better, you call me on your next birthday. I got something special for you. By the way, that's a promise. A promise beats a shield," Downey Jr said.

Holland, meanwhile, spoke to Bridger on a video call and invited him to come to the sets of the next "Spider-Man" film.

"If you ever want to come to set and hang out, and see the Spider-Man suit up close, and hang out with us, you're always welcome. I want to say you are so brave, mate. We are all so proud of you, and your little sister is so lucky to have someone like you," he added.

Other Marvel stars Mark Ruffalo and Brie Larson, Hollywood star Anne Hathaway, "The Flash" series stars Grant Gustin and Robbie Amell also praised Bridger's bravery.
