Here's how a Kolkata-based differently-abled fan had his first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan

It was a perfect fanboy moment for 21-year-old Harshu (aka Boss) from Kolkata. The differently abled young man, a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan and his IPL team, got an opportunity to meet his star in person on Tuesday afternoon.

And thanks to his up, close and personal moment, Boss even managed to get the chance to meet SRK's entire team and even cheer for them.

Boss' delighted mother Rajani Goenka says, `Initially we were not allowed inside the hotel where the team and Shah Rukh were staying. I was directed towards the star's managers. They facilitated the meeting between my son and SRK.`

An intimate conversation between the young man and his idol followed and SRK apparently even invited Boss to the Eden Garden grounds to watch SRK's team play.

Goenka adds, `It was a dream come true for my son and I am extremely happy that SRK was so kind and sweet to him. We never felt that we were meeting him for the first time.`

Now, that's some team spirit!

Happy to give back to Kolkata


Terming his team Kolkata Knight Riders' smashing victory over Delhi Daredevils "wonderful", an exuberant Shahrukh Khan felt elated to "return back" to the "city of joy" for the opening match of the sixth edition of Indian Premier League.

"Yea it's wonderful the whole team has fared. They are all here and they have been looking forward to carrying on from where they left off.

"What makes me even happier is that we had the opening ceremony here and the city which has been so kind to us for so many years, we could return back what we are best at, which is entertainment," Khan told a TV channel at the end of the match between defending champions KKR and Delhi Daredevils at Eden Gardens here Wednesday.

Khan and Bollywood's leading ladies Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif had enthralled over 50,000 spectators at a glitzy IPL-6 inaugural ceremony at Kolkata's Salt Lake stadium Tuesday.

The superstar celebrated KKR's emphatic six-wicket win over a depleted Delhi Daredevils with a victory lap with Padukone in tow, around the Eden Gardens arena.

"I get so much happiness and love from the city of joy, to be honest. I have experienced lot of goodness and niceness in life but what I get in Kolkata, KKR gets in Kolkata, all our friends, my children, our family, the whole KKR team -we feel so happy. I think we owe it to the city that we share some joy some energy whatever little in our small way we do," Khan said.
