Controversies, I believe, have their way of finding Amitabh Bachchan. Every few months, there are fresh controversies attacking him. Looks like they want to change his initials from AB to ABC (Amitabh Bachchan Controversial). But AB knows well how to deal with controversies and fights them off smartly and impressively. And I am so inspired!
This time, it has to do with Bandra-Worli Sea Link (also known as Rajiv Gandhi Sagari Setu). I can't believe all the latest news related to Mumbai's Bandra-Worli Sea Link extension talk more about Bachchan's presence at the inauguration instead of its benefits to the aam junta! What's the big deal? Why be disappointed at Amitabh Bachchan's mere presence at the occasion after inviting him in the first place? Why create such a drama like our television serials - "Agar mujhe pata hota woh aayengey, toh shayad main nahin aata"!
Instead of sharing the joy of the new four lanes on the sea link, we are debating AB's presence and Congress' alleged disappointment! Mumbai has seen many sorrowful incidents in the recent years. On rare occasions we have something to cheer about. Let's not spoil it. Let's share the joy of the infrastructure developments in Mumbai.

SRK: My wife's name is Gauri Khanum
All right, this is not exactly a quote by Shah Rukh Khan but he has expressed a point. SRK's wife Gauri has been in news lately as she supported MNIK extensively in the wake of the protests against her husband. So the media has been covering Gauri 'Khan' a lot. Now SRK has expressed that she should be called Gauri Khanum and not Gauri Khan.
Why? Well, Shah Rukh has expressed that Khan is used for males while Khanum for females. He says that Khan is not a surname but a title. I remember how once a friend in college has explained to me that she uses Kaur and not Singh in her name as Singh is for males and Kaur for females. Now our own SRK has taught me something I did not know.
And are we expecting new changes in film credits and names of actresses? Perhaps you might want to look out for:
Farah Khanum
Malaika Arora Khanum
Sussanne Khanum
Jiah Khanum
Negar Khanum

So what could be the name of Shah Rukh Khan's next film? I guess: My wife's name is Khanum!
