Shahrukh Khan did not give me acting lessons: Giselle Monteiro

Shahrukh Khan did not give me acting lessons: Giselle Monteiro: Brazilian model-actress Giselle Monteiro, who is all excited to be a part of Shahrukh Khan's upcoming production "Always Kabhi Kabhi", says the Bollywood superstar did not give her any acting lessons.

The 22-year-old began her acting career in Bollywood with the role of Harleen Kaur, alongside Saif Ali Khan, in Imtiaz Ali's "Love Aaj Kal" in 2009.

"I met Shahrukh on the sets of the film but I did not interact much. He did not really provide any acting lessons or tips," Giselli told PTI.

Produced by Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment, "Always Kabhi Kabhi" is based on the theme of high-school life.

"The movie is about four students from high school and their relationship with parents. I am just looking forward to it with a lot of excitement," said Giselle.

She will be seen alongside Producer Karim Morani's daughter Zoa, Satyajit Dubey, a theatre artist and Ali Fazal, who played Joy Lobo in "3 Idiots".

"It was awesome working with all of them. It is something that is really big for all of us. We have put in a lot of hard work... gave our heart for the film. We are good friends now," Giselle said at the recently concluded Lakme Fashion Week where she cheered for her co-star and friend Zoa Morani, who is making her debut with the same film.

"I was here to cheer and support Zoa as she was walking the ramp," she said.

SRK joins Facebook

SRK joins Facebook: Shahrukh Khan to continue on the social networking webworld despite the nasty comments that made him quit Twitter. Sooner done than said, Shahrukh is now set to join the mother of all social networking sites, Facebook.

Expect a mad scramble among the FBians to browse the superstar’s wall that will go online on Friday evening at 9 pm Indian Standard Time.

The inauguration will be done with the online premiere of Shahrukh Khan’s documentary on the all-time Indian classic film Mughal-E-Azam. Shahrukh has associated himself with the film to mark its 51st anniversary through a 22-minute documentary.

The idea is not just to pay tribute to director K. Asif’s timeless classic but also to introduce the younger generations to the cinematic masterpieces of yore.

And knowing how Shahrukh shared snippets from his personal life on Twitter, his Facebook wall too would have its shares of peeks into the private world of King Khan.

Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Ra.One’ started earning big bucks!

Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Ra.One’ started earning big bucks!: Shahrukh Khan’s big-budget film Ra.One has already started earning big bucks. The film's satellite rights have reportedly been sold for a whopping Rs 40 crore. Yes, highest ever for a Bollywood film. Earlier, Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots was sold for Rs 36 crore to a channel.

The release date of Ra.One is not yet confirmed, then too the film was bought for such a humongous amount, and the credit goes to its producer Shahrukh Khan, who is making this sci-fi film on a production scale so large that no other Bollywood film can match up to it.

As a source is quoted by a tabloid, “The film has a huge budget; so obviously, as a producer he wants to make as much money through pre-release distribution avenues.”

Selling the satellite rights prior to film’s release is not new. Last year’s major releases Guzaarish, Dabangg and Tees Maar Khan were sold to different channels for a hefty amount.

Shahrukh Khan has even hired some of the best Hollywood SFX people to work on Ra.One and make the film a technical wonder. Shahrukh plays a superhero in this film that also stars Kareena Kapoor in the lead. In the movie’s title RA stands for ‘Random Access’.

Shahrukh Khan quit Twitter because of Nasty comments

Shahrukh Khan quit Twitter because of Nasty comments: Even after having more than 8 lakh followers on Twitter, Shahrukh Khan has decided to quit the social networking site because of the nasty comments that some have been posting him.

In a recent interview on a TV show, SRK opened up about why he’s been keeping away from Twitter despite having posted regular tweets for a long time. In his tweets, SRK used to share a lot of personal moments, from the pics of his family to his worries at film shoots.

But he’s been asked many questions on Twitter that simply embarrassed him.

“As an actor and as a celebrity, I often come across people who look into my eye and ask me embarrassing questions at press conferences. However, I don't have any option other than putting up a smiling face and replying to the questions even if I am upset or angry. It has been happening since 20 years and it happened even during my interactions on Twitter. But I am socially inept, I don't know how to handle relationships and am not very good at dealing with such questions and therefore I thought it would be best to quit,” Shahrukh revealed in the interview.

One such nasty remark was made by a person who said that Shahrukh comes on Twitter only to promote his films.

“There were comments that 'Oh he only comes on Twitter when he wants to promote his films'. Well with all due respect to everyone, I want to say that 8-10 lakh do not make a film hit,” SRK rightly said.
