Kolkata: 'Bollywood Badshah' Shah Rukh
Khan today quipped that his Bengali will need to improve in
the next edition of the Kolkata International Film Festival.
Khan, who has been a regular at the film festival's
inauguration for the past couple of years, was again a part of
the 23rd KIFF launch event today.
"Now, I am attempting eight lines in Bengali, please
bear with me," he told a capacity crowd at Netaji Indoor
Stadium here.
"Ei film fesivaler bisesh anusthane uposthit thakte
pere sammanito bodh krchhi (I am honoured to be present at
this special event of the film festival)," King Khan said.
Thanking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee
for organising the show, Khan said, "Wonderful weather,
wonderful city, looking lovely and Mamata didi looking
lovelier. I am asking my wonderful friends to give me dhoti
next time."
Describing cinema as a language which needs to be
propagated and felt for spreading the message of love,
togetherness and unity, the superstar added that films also
convey the present reality as it happens around the world.
