Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Monday urged Australian filmmaker Paul Cox and other international dignitaries to relish the experiences that Kolkata has to offer, including the variety of sweets.
Addressing a star-studded audience at the Netaji Indoor Stadium, Shah Rukh spoke in a decent smattering of Bangla, in keeping with his promise last year.
“I had promised last year that I would speak in Bengali this time, ami Bangla e kotha bole khub anondito (I am very happy to speak in Bengali). Jodi kono bhool hoye thaake amake khoma korben (forgive me if I make any mistakes),” he said to thunderous applause and series of spirited whistling at the inauguration.
