Media frenzy over Shahrukh!


It is not always easy to be loved and mobbed by the media and fans. Shah Rukh Khan learned it the hard way.

The price of being a celebrity can certainly be overwhelming sometimes, as the Bollywood's King Khan learnt the hard way on the occasion of the music launch of the mythological film Jai Jagannath. Khan and director Mani Ratnam were the guests of honor at the event.

A routine music release it was - till the King Khan arrived and the media struggled for one glimpse of the man! First it was crowds jumping on each other, and then a glass door that shattered all over leaving King Khan with mild bruises.

But taking it all in good spirit, Shahrukh said that it was but an example of people's love.

"The media's overtures are always like this - in fact, their love is not complete without some shattered glass thrown in for good measure. So thank you, that you all love me so much. May buildings and monuments crumble next time," said Khan flashing that dimpled smile.

He assured everyone that he wasn't hurt. "I have been abroad for a month, so I guess the people really missed me," he added sheepishly.

We might miss him, we might not - but whenever he's around, he sure does leave a mark!
