Aamir names his Dog "Shahrukh" , now apologizes to SRK for it.

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan  apologized for his blog entry where he said he had a dog named 'Shahrukh', alluring denigration from King Khan's fans and outrageous people in the Hindi film industry, putting an end to the blog storm.

Aamir told newsmen at the residence of yesteryears' Bollywood actor Shammi Kapoor: "I just wrote it out of humour and if it has hurt the feelings of mine or Shahrukh's fans then I apologise to all."

The actor also held that he shares a vigorous affiliation with Shah Rukh Khan. The actor had apparently claimed that he has a dog by the name of "Shahrukh".

The unfavorable remark had sent distress effect through the film industry. Reacting on

the episode, Shah Rukh had whispered: "Earlier, people used to name their children after famous people. Somebody naming a dog after a known person is a new beginning in that direction. I don't have a copyright over this name if used non-commercially."

Well done King Khan, as at all times, you have maintained your cool, that’s the method to put down the lid of the arrogant and supercilious who speak with two horns.  These so called elegant people ought to bear in mind that they are in no manner greater than you.

Amir Khan got severe injuries during the shoot of Ghajini

Aamir Khan got hurt seriously when a tough stunt for his forthcoming movie Ghajini went haywire.

A witness of the set clarified Aamir was required to pull up a very heavy wrestler and hit him against the wall. While giving the shots, Aamir broke his hamstring muscle and the intensity of the pain was such that Amir could not stand on his legs.

An ortho Dr attended Aamir and when the pain could not be bore, the star was hospitalized. His new wife Kiran  flew down to Hyderabad to be beside her hubby who is in vain and pain.

The Ghajini’s shooting has been stand stilled and will continue after the actor becomes fit and fine.

King Khan gives a supple reply to Amir Khan

Aamir Khan must be repenting about his slip of tongue, for making a comment against the King Khan, SRK. Aamir Khan of late remarked that SRK was next to him by No.2, hence he got a clever and sharp reaction from the King Khan himself, who described it as a great compliment. 

[singlepic=239]

When the Badshah was asked about his opinion, to be categorized as number two, SRK whispered: I just want to tell you, Aamir is a dear friend of mine and I consider it a compliment for him, oops sorry, compliment for me, that was a genuine slip of tongue. It is indeed a great compliment that he at least considers me second to him.” 

King Khan also exposed that he can’t say anything against Aamir as he doesn’t want to upset his wife Gauri Khan , who is  a great fan of  Aamir, “I and Aamir are completely opposite persons. He is an intelligent, intellectual person whereas I am more of an instinctive man. He does more of the thinking and I do more of the acting.” 

SRK also made known that since both of them are ‘Khans’ they have great regard for each other, “We are very good friends and we both have a good sense of humour. I know his jokes and he knows mine. And, he is hundred per cent No. 1.” 

The King Khan ended it up on a humorous note and said, “I said I love K-K-K-K-K-Kiran and he really loves K-K-K-K-K-Kiran.”

That’s the way, King Khan, as a down to earth person, you have shown Amir his line of attack and that too in a supple way.
