Rana’s Leader shooting stalled by Telangana agitators
Shah Rukh Khan joins Twitter
"Being extremely shy, I never thought I would be here (on Twitter). But my friend Karan Johar insisted that I should learn to share my life," Shah Rukh posted on his Twitter page.
"Thanks everyone, this is really sweet…didn’t expect such a warm welcome. Love to you all," he added.
The superstar was hardly seen on big screen in 2009 except in Billu, and explaining the reason behind his absence, he wrote: "Injury has kept me away from making more films. Will work my back off to be around more… the shoulder feels strong and so do I."
In February last year, Shah Rukh underwent an arthroscopic surgery for acute pain in his left shoulder at the Breach Candy hospital in south Mumbai.
He is now gearing up for the release of his much-talked about film My Name Is Khan which also stars Kajol.
Releasing February 12, the film’s story revolves around Rizwan Khan (Shah Rukh) who suffers from Asperger syndrome, a form of autism. Rizwan falls in love with a single mother Mandira (Kajol) who lives in San Francisco. Rizwan is detained by authorities at Los Angeles International Airport, mistaking his disability for "suspicious" behaviour.
Right now Shah Rukh is enjoying his holiday with wife and children.
"Kids and life calling…watching Tim Burton’s ’9’ (animated fantasy film directed by Shane Acker) with them…last holiday…so up late…catch up later…," he wrote in his latest posting.(IANS)

Ex-wife supports Aamir
A source says that everyone was so busy trying to see if fireworks would fly between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan that all other guests who put in an appearance that evening paled into inconsequential wallflowers.
However, one guest noticed Reena make an unobtrusive entry to the event with her teenage-son Junaid. She even wished her ex-husband and sat down to watch the film. Reena doesn’t come to events at Aamir’s home.
However, she encourages her children Junaid and Ira to spend time with their father. She also has no problems about the fact that her children have found a great comfort level with Kiran Rao, Aamir’s current wife.
But, whenever there is a momentous occasion in Aamir’s life, like the premiere of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, a film that introduced Aamir’s nephew Imran Khan or now his latest film premiere, Reena is there a picture of quiet dignity, lending support silently. Obviously, no one wants to talk about it. However, one of Aamir’s closest friends says, “He respects Reena tremendously. And, he is moved that she is always there lending support to him when he has an important moment in life. Aamir is eternally grateful to Reena for this.”(TNN)
