🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀
This is for girls who stay up all night,
This is for you who are willing to fight,
For hidden fears,
Hurt, pain, and tears,
Under the smiles, laughs, and giggles we hear.
Let your hair down, straight or curls,
You’re beautiful because you fight like a girl.
For girls who wears short skirts,
And their heart on their sleeve,
For girls who know how difficult,
It is to believe,
The girls who scream and cry,
Into their pillows and tell them their goals,
For girls who have a secret,
But can’t tell a soul.
Let your eyes be your diamond,
Make them your pearls,
You’re beautiful because you fight like a girl.
For girls who have made mistakes,
And have regrets galore,
Because you fight like a girl.
For the girls who love with all their heart,
Although it sometimes gets broke,
To who think it’s over,
To real girls, to all girls,
Who have tears to soak.
You throw, you pick up, and fall,
But just tell the world,
“I’m beautiful,
Because I fight like a girl.”

Online fan armies turn passion into power : World's biggest Fan Club run by a Fan of SRK the King Khan

Spread across 35 countries, SRK’s digital admirers spend a lot of time and money promoting his films. Other stars too are relying on this unofficial PR machinery to boost their brand value, writes Mohini Chaudhuri
Spread across 35 countries, SRK's digital admirers spend a lot of time and money promoting his films. Other stars too are relying on this unofficial PR machinery to boost their brand value, writes Mohini Chaudhuri



Ahead of the release of Fan, Shah Rukh Khan was busy making TV appearances and giving interviews to market his movie. Far away from Mumbai, Muhammad Ashraf, 36, was also hard at work promoting the Yash Raj film. By day, Ashraf is HR head of a business conglomerate in Maldvies, but in cyberspace he's hailed as the founder of SRK Universe—the superstar's biggest global fan club. "We hire a cinema in each city for his film's first show, print T-shirts, and then cut a cake. This time I'm giving wristbands to 50,000 fans worldwide who come for the first show," says Ashraf over a phone conversation, adding that these activities eat up 90% of his earnings.

Obviously, Ashraf's fan club is no ordinary one —it's an empire with branches in 35 countries. Every Sunday he has a virtual general meeting with his counterparts spread over South Asia and Europe to discuss ways in which they can serve their idol better. "Sometimes, I feel like I work for him," admits Ashraf. And he does. Ashraf's biggest ammunition is his ability to constantly keep Khan alive on social media. "Ninety percent of the trends you see on Twitter about SRK are started by us. We have a 'trending army' of about 250 people. The moment I give them a hashtag about SRK, they will start tweeting, and within five minutes it will be trending," he says. Khan is well aware of SRK Universe and often retweets what they put out. Ashraf personally met the star only last year on his 50th birthday. "I was too stunned to talk to him," he says.

In a world where a celebrity's digital presence determines his or her worth as a brand, the power of fan clubs like Ashraf's, with 3,59,000 followers, cannot be taken lightly. Actors today have multiple fan clubs on Twitter and Facebook with followers that run into thousands and lakhs. They doggedly track every tiny development about their beloved star — exclusive photos, videos, and interviews. "Actors like SRK, Salman Khan, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra have a huge digital presence and their fan clubs play a crucial part in that. Along with a manager and publicist, stars also have digital agencies to promote them online. Some of these agencies are hiring fans instead of professionals because they are so invested in the actors. These agencies work closely with fan clubs and keep them informed about important announcements," explains a celebrity manager who didn't want to be named.

"He is a star, but he still replies to every text of mine," says Deepak Suthar of his idol Arjun Kapoor. The commerce student, who runs the Twitter handle Team_Arjun, puts it in plainly: "We do almost everything that the PR is doing, but we don't get paid." He's not complaining. "I want to be like Arjun Kapoor. Losing 65kg is not a small thing. His dedication towards everything he does makes me his fan," he explains. Suthar has been developing a fan base for Kapoor since his debut film Ishaqzaade (2012). "I was the first person to bring all the Arjunzaades — Arjun Kapoor fans — under one roof. So far we've made 50-plus trends on Twitter and made many blogs and videos go viral," he declares.

The hard work hasn't gone unacknowledged. Celebrities go the extra mile to engage with their admirers — a practice initiated by Amitabh Bachchan three decades ago when he began the tradition of meeting fans outside his Juhu bungalow every Sunday. Over the years, Bachchan has cultivated an even deeper rapport with his followers through his personal blog. At last count, he had 20.2 million followers on Twitter.

When Ranveer Singh promotes his films, Falguni Upadhyay too sits up all night posting photos of his appearances. A student of jewellery design, Upadhyay first met the actor soon after the release of Band Baaja Baaraat (2010), when she told him about the FB fan club she had started. "He kept thanking me. He's always hugging people and spreading love. That's the best thing about him," she gushes. Years later, when Singh's team wanted to start an official FB page for the star, they asked Upadhyay if they could merge it with hers. She now runs the Twitter handle RanveerSingh_FC, and is actively invested in promoting the star's work online. Recently, Singh wished another female fan from Oman through a video of him animatedly singing 'Happy Birthday'. The young fan, Moumita Chatterjee, later posted on Facebook — 'Nothing in life has made me dance around the room, scream with joy, cry out of excitement and re-watch the same video a million times.'

Suthar remembers feeling the same on his birthday last year when he met Kapoor at his home in Mumbai — a meeting organized by the actor's manager. "When I entered his home, he came out from his bedroom singing with a cake. I couldn't control my tears," he says. The youngster is now on texting terms with his idol.

There's a clear sense of ownership with which Suthar, Upadhyay and Ashraf speak of their heroes. The proximity they share with actors would have been unimaginable without social media. "In the '60s, I remember writing letters to Shashi Kapoor, Sadhana and Pran and they would respond with a picture and a thank-you letter. Sometimes it would be typed, sometimes handwritten. Pran would insist on writing to everyone. Now nobody writes fan mail anymore," says Dinesh Raheja, editor of Bollywood News Service and author. But Raheja feels the bonds made online are a wonderful thing for genuine admirers.

"If you're a true fan, you should do something real to promote him. You can't just put up news about the star from a website, retweet it, and go back home," says Ashraf, passionately. But what's in it for him? "I can't explain it. I just need to do something for Shah Rukh," he says. His words sound eerily similar to the dialogue mouthed by Gaurav — the character playing Khan's fan in the film— 'Gharwale bhi na mere, samajhte hi nahi hain. Wo sirf star nahin hai, duniya hai meri'.

 Shahrukh Khan Biography – Part 1


Note: This is Shahrukh Khan Biography in his own words. Truly anAutobiography by King Khanhimself. SRK share his personal moments in this biography. Enjoy and share with your friends.

A Legend Is Born


Baby Shahrukh Khan

On 2nd November 1965 a normal occurrence happened at the Talwar Nursing Home in New Delhi. Just like many newborns, I was born with the umbilical cord entangled around my neck. A nurse said that it was by the blessings of Hanuman and that I would be a very lucky child. I don’t know if I believe in it but it is the one thing I was told by my parents about my birth that I remember.

We lived in Rajinder Nagar, I even remember the house number it was F-442. I have vague memories of my playschool, I think it was called Tiny Tots and was right next to our house.

After playschool I began my formal education at St. Columba’s High School, New Delhi. It was near Gole market, run by Irish brothers who believed in discipline and a very high standard of education.

I can recall my first day and the teacher who interviewed me, Mrs. Bala, asked me to tell her what my father’s profession was. And at that point my father had a transportation business, I had seen him dealing with tempos, trucks, etc. I believed anyone having anything to do with vehicles was a driver. So I replied that my dad was a tempo driver. Mrs. Bala told me that I had very cute dimples and then asked me to kiss her. That was my first kiss. Oh yes, and I was admitted to the school.

We were given black and golden stars for our behavior and test results. Five black stars meant lying across Mrs. Bala’s lap and getting spanked three times, I think. Being quite naughty I was spanked a lot. I wish the same treatment was meted out to me even now. Looking back one realizes that what one thought punishment was actually quite pleasurable.

Overall my early years of schooling were quite wonderful. I had my share of spanking, and was often made to stand in the corner with my finger on the lips. I was forced by my teacher to learn how to swim by being thrown into the water and expected to survive with gallons of water in my stomach, eyes and ears. Till date I hate swimming and my teacher for subjecting me to this torture. But all said and done I love all my teachers. They were very kind and sweet. I guess the essence of one’s life is developed during these formative years. And I feel I had the best formative years because of the nice teachers I had.

Here’s to all of them good morning ma’am and thank you ma’am.
Incidents & Accidents

One important turning point in my life occurred because I was very bad in Hindi. I used to get 2 or 3 on 10 and always failed in this subject. Once, my mother told me that if I got full marks in Hindi she would take me to see a Hindi film in the theater. I had never been to a movie hall before. So I stayed up all night and studied my butt off and managed to get full marks and my mother took me to see my first Hindi film, in a theater.

Two things happened because of this incident. One, I became quite the Hindi pundit and later always did very well in Hindi. And secondly, I got the feel for Hindi films. My command over the language helps me immensely to essay my roles in films today. The moral of the story is, if your mom tells you to study hard, do it. You may just become a film star and your education will help you one helluva lot. But if your mother is insisting on anthropology or biochemistry or perhaps aromatic therapy, then ignore her.

I remember sitting on the wall and blowing flying kisses to the schoolgirls passing by. Once a girl came complaining to my dad but my father was sure that it could not be me as I was too young. He made the girl wait so that she could see me and realize that it was the neighbor’s son who was teasing her and not me. But to my father’s embarrassment I walked in without my pants on and on seeing the girl blew her a flying kiss and told my dad that this was my sweetheart. This was the first and last girl I ever made a pass to.
St. Columba’s School


SRK at St. Columba’s School

Right or wrong, east or west, my school is the best. St. Columba’s was a strict disciplinarian school run by Irish brothers. One could not wear the wrong uniform or grow their hair beyond a certain length. Many a times I had to get my hair cut in front of the whole assembly of students early in the morning. The barber used to be from a nearby street-side shop who hadn’t bathed or brushed his teeth. He was as sorry to be there as I was to be sitting on his uncomfortable chair. And before beginning his hack job, he would ask if I wanted a Dharmendra or an Amitabh cut. By the time he was through, I just hoped I didn’t look like a porcupine or a pineapple. My hair never recovered from these frequent attacks. This truly is the secret of my hairstyle, if one can call it that.

I was quite a good student, though I never studied throughout the year. The only time I studied was the night before the exam, when I wouldn’t sleep a wink and go straight for the exam. I did rather well and this gave me the opportunity to do a whole lot of interesting stuff in school.
In School

My favorite soccer stars are Socrates, Pele, Maradona and Mattheus. And I loved Aslam Sher Khan and wanted to be like him and represent the country.

Electronics was my favorite subject at my A levels, and I think I got the highest marks in it when I passed out.

Mathematics was my weakest subject in school and I still have a problem with numbers. So much so if someone tells me a phone number I have to ask for it several times before I can write it down on paper. I even forget my office and residence phone number.

English, and especially Shakespeare, was my other favorite.
Mumtaz


Mumtaz (Actress)

Mumtaz was my absolute favorite. We used to listen to the radio at night and this is when all my dancing abilities were best showcased. One had to just tell me that the song on radio was from a Mumtaz film and I would move 20 frames per second, like the way people move in the old Charlie Chaplin films.

I loved the way she moved her hips. I think nobody in this world can be as beautiful a sight as she used to be. She was sensual, innocent, naughty and very energetic, all at the same time. She was the first personality I mimicked. I loved to walk like her and dance like her.

Usually actors have very important personalities and performers as their idols. Mine was Mumtaz. Not to say that she was unimportant or not special. What I mean is that for a guy she was an unconventional role model. To me she was the single most important cause of my tilt towards anything that had vaguely to do with the performing arts.

My favorite song used to be from a Shammi Kapoor film, Brahmachari. Its lyrics still intrigue me: “Chakke pe chakka, chakke mein gaadi, gaadi pe nikli apni swaari…”Anyone who can explain the meaning of “chakke” to me, please send me an e-mail.
