From Ra.One to F1

When actor Shah Rukh Khan is the ambassador of a brand,trust him to be at his witty best.

Shah Rukh Khan says he “doesn’t know how to kiss”

When actor Shah Rukh Khan is the ambassador of a brand,trust him to be at his witty best. As the luxury watch brand that Khan endorses,TAG Heuer,announced its tie-up with Buddh International Circuit,the host of Formula One in India,in Delhi on Friday,the actor,dapper in a black suit,kept the audience entertained with filmy dialogues,IPL talk and sundry anecdotes.

Buddh International Circuit will open in Greater Noida in October. Khan unveiled the brand’s special edition watches with Buddh International Circuit’s heart-shaped logo in green and saffron. “F1 racing is exciting,though very noisy. You need ear plugs,” joked Khan.

Khan confessed to his fetish for watches and revealed that he has a cupboard dedicated to his watch collection,that also includes one gifted to him by his father. “If I dressed in watches,I wouldn’t need clothes,” he said.

No conversation with the Badshah of Bollywood can be without a reference to some recent controversy. This time,Saurav Ganguly’s return to IPL — the former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain is now a part of Pune Warriors — was the topic of discussion and Khan had his answer ready. “Dada is,personally,my favourite player and I would have liked him to be part of KKR. But we all have moved on,” he said. About Shane Warne’s last IPL inning,he joked,“He plays hard-handed poker and so best of luck there. He is a very cool guy.”

On being asked about his alleged lip-lock with Kareena Kapoor in his upcoming film,Ra.One,Khan came close to losing his cool. “Don’t believe everything you read on the internet,” he said curtly. But just as quickly,the humour was back. “I am uncomfortable doing two things in my films — horse-riding and kissing. I don’t kiss onscreen because I don’t know how to kiss,” he signed off.
