To SRK with love

I’m not drunk. My brains are where they are supposed to be. And I’m not writing this with a gun pointed towards my temporal lobes (don’t mind my scientific awareness). This is a post on King Khan, and for the first time, its an unbiased one. I write this without being influenced by my hatredness towards him.

But why on earth do I hate Shahrukh Khan when the wide population of the girls worship him? Perhaps that’s one of the biggest reasons. I hate it when girls find him more attractive than me.

But on a more serious note, why really? And why on earth am I writing this article? I used my blog to the fullest possible extent to degrade SRK. I questioned his acting ability, I questioned his versatility, I even questioned his gender. I declared a full scale war on the movie ‘Don’ and dubbed it into the worst movie ever made. I would have gone on and on, unless I would be attacked by a girl, a girl who adores him.

Yes, Ishita my class-mate, pounced on me for speaking thus, and things would have taken a bad turn if I hadn’t taken back my words. Throughout M.Sc, we often had arguments over this topic. She hates the way I speak of SRK, and I was scared where she would one day drive a lorry over me. So Ishita, let me tell you this shocking fact, I was a die-hard fan of SRK once upon a time. The story goes like this…

Darr and Baazigar were wonderful movies of that time. I was impressed; SRK was slowly becoming popular. Although he dies a brutal death in both these movies, it was certain, this person was one to watch out for.

And then came Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. He was exactly the guy I always wanted to be. Perfect. And he became my favorite actor. Every slam book, every profile, and I happily typed SRK as my favorite hero. I loved Kajol then, and I still do now, but with SRK, things took a different turn.

I missed watching Dil To Pagal Hai, and I kicked myself several times for that. But I watched Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. It seems to be the stupidest movie today, but I loved it then. And as usual, my favorite hero playing his role to perfection.

But slowly, I started getting bugged. His movies seemed all the same, his acting never differed even though he played different characters. ‘Duplicate” and ‘Yes Boss’ were like bull-shit. And that’s when I really started hating this guy.

I do admit I somewhere loved him in ‘Swades’, but the feeling of ‘hate’ spread so much in my blood, that I refused to acknowledge even if he acted well, and I made comments even without watching his movies. Heard ‘Chak de’ was good.

So, I’ve got no personal enmity with Mr. SRK. Therefore, I request all the girls not to harm me in any way. I am not able to walk safely on roads, especially when going to the vegetable market, as I constantly have this feeling of being watched. I promise my movie reviews won’t be biased and I won’t question anyone’s gender. Although Ishita’s not the type of girl who’d harm anyone, I know a few who can. So please spare me of your anger, my dad won’t get me a life insurance policy, and no insurance company would even give me one, knowing for a fact that my life’s always in danger, of killer girls !!
