SRK and family meet Shakira

FIFA may be over. Spain may have won. But SRK has some other more exotic memories of being there rather than the aggressive game itself. It was the meeting of his family and himself with Shakira that blew him away. As he tweets “gorgeous gracious & absolutely heart warming Shakira. Was so nice to the kids we r fans for life.”

Wife Gauri and the kids along, Shah Rukh Khan was taken with the lady’s nature and her humility that he went all out to put up the pics and thank her on the social networking site. Tweets SRK, “She was so humble & so real. that’s why she is such a rockstar. said my name with a beautiful accent too. Seems like this one was surely an unforgettable meet.”

Guess it was truly a heart warming experience for one superstar to meet the other.

It's going to be a cabaret 'solo dhamaka' composed by Salim Sulaiman

After Akon for Shah Rukh Khan's ‘Ra.One’, it is now the Latin American sensation Shakira's turn to rock in a Bollywood song. She will sing for a film featuring entrepreneur Sachin Joshi, the key sponsor of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Indian Premier League team. KKR is co-owned by Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla.

To be composed by Salim Sulaiman, the number, a frenzied dance track to be filmed on South African model Candice Boucher, will be recorded in the next couple of months. "It will be a very sensuous cabaret kind of song," said Salim.

Shakira is no stranger to India. In 2007, she performed live in Mumbai and other cities and has repeatedly expressed a desire to be part of the Bollywood film industry.

"Sachin Joshi, who's helming and starring in the project, is in touch with Shakira and she has agreed to sing for Salim-Sulaiman," a source said.

"The lyrics would be in English, but with a smattering of easy Hindi. It won't be a duet like the song Kylie Minogue sang on Tony D'Souza's 'Blue'. It'd be a Shakira solo dhamaka."
