December 14, 2010 : Shah Rukh brought smiles on thousands of faces in Bangladesh during his recent visit to the country. He performed on many hit numbers and greeted the fans in Bengali but left two of his fans in tears! Well, before you start speculating something fishy, let us clear the point.
SRK was gifted two busts of him by the organizers of ‘King Khan Live in Dhaka’. These two busts were prepared by two Bangladeshi poor students named Shusen (17) and Shamon (18). They wanted SRK to auction the busts so that the money from this can be used for their further education. But, the organizers neither informed SRK about it nor the poor brothers were offered a big amount for this.
Shapan Chowdhury, the chairman of the event management company in Dhaka, was quoted saying that they could not conduct the auction because of the time constraint so they gifted it to the Bollywood Badshah. Moreover, he accepted that they could not even inform about the boys and the auction to Shah Rukh. He said that they would offer some money to these boys.
The teenage brothers were in dire need of money and hoped to fund their education from the auction money. But the irresponsible act of the organizers left them in tears and hopeless. We cannot blame SRK for this because he was not aware of the development and took the busts to home. Now, when the superstar has probably come to know about the brothers through media, we hope he will do something for them.
