Shah Rukh finds out just how much fans love him in Germany. They even offer him free cab rides

They love Shah Rukh Khan in Germany. The superstar is in Berlin shooting for Don 2 and there's a crowd outside his hotel every morning just to meet him. It's the same scene when he returns at night from his shoot.

Considerate star

SRK happily obliges fans with autographs and poses for photographs. Says an eyewitness, "He does this every day without fail.

Fans queue outside the hotel even when it's freezing or if it rains. SRK even sends out for coffee and pizzas for those waiting for hours."

But it does get embarrassing when they refuse to accept payment for services rendered. Like the time he got a free cab ride in lieu of a pic and an autograph.

The lowdown

Here's what happened: After shooting, the Don 2 cast and crew indulge in soccer matches at a ground close to the hotel.

One day, it went on till 4.30 am. SRK decided to go out for coffee. Instead of calling for the hotel car, they hailed a cab.

As soon as they stepped in, the driver recognised SRK. When they reached their destination, the cabbie refused to let him pay for the ride.

Despite King Khan insisting, the driver in Berlin said he would accept only a picture with the actor as the fare because his daughter was a big fan.

Shah Rukh posed with the driver and signed an autograph for his daughter before thanking him and leaving.

Producer Ritesh Sidhwani confirms, "Yes, Shah Rukh is pretty famous among the local people and yes, the taxi ride was a impromptu plan as we decided to step out pretty late and this taxi guy refused to accept money from us."

Not For Me?

Incidentally, Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom, who was staying at the same hotel as SRK thought he was being stalked by paparazzi but was told by the hotel management that the fans outside the hotel were standing there for the Indian actor.
