SRK has a huge fan following across the globe. And recently, when the renowned author, Paulo Coelho, took to Twitter and Facebook, to praise the actor’s work, SRK was over the moon!
It all began when Paulo, back in August, tweeted, @paulocoelho: “My name is Khan" (2009) is the best movie I watched this year”. What followed was a friendly banter between the author and King Khan. Paulo had also expressed his desire to watch more of SRK's films; @paulocoelho: “@karanjohar @iamsrk Congrats for "My name is Khan." I wish we could see more of your movies in Europe. I had to wait 6 yrs to watch this!”
In reply to his tweet, SRK tweeted back, @iamsrk: “@paulocoelho send me your address sir I will supply you all indian films as they release. We read u as soon as u write...v r blessed. Thanx.” Looks like SRK has kept his promise, and fulfilled Coelho’s desire to make him see the actor’s films. SRK sent over DVDs of some of his iconic films for the author to watch. The collection had almost all of SRK's best work till date - Chak De India, Swades, Asoka, Ra.One, Don and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and many more!!
Paulo, who was surprised by SRK's sweet gesture, tweeted back on Monday morning, with the picture of the DVDs; @paulocoelho: What a Monday morning gift, @iamsrk !!! Now I need to know where to start.
Here the gracious actor stepped ahead and asked his followers to help Paulo choose which movie to start from, and tweeted: @iamsrk: Just sent sum movies to @paulocoelho. Please tweet him ur suggestions which one to watch first.
However, what made it even more special was, when a couple of hours back Paulo took to his Facebook page and posted; “His fist (and only) movie that I watched (this year, even if it was released in 2008) was "My name is Khan". And not only the movie was excellent, but SRK deserved an Oscar if Hollywood was not manipulated. He kindly offered to send the other titles - as you probably guess, it is not easy to find them in Switzerland.”
Looks like B-town has a new friendship to look for… Let’s hope, Paulo pens the screenplay for one of SRK’s movie in future! What Say?
