Look who’s kissing Shah Rukh Khan

It’s a picture that is doing the rounds of cyberspace, and being avidly discussed — but actor Shah Rukh Khan seems unperturbed by it.

The picture is a snapshot of Shah Rukh kissing British television personality and actor John Barrowman apparently on the sets while filming a TV show. 

DNA mailed the picture to Shah Rukh’s staff members to check its authenticity and they replied saying that the picture is of an actual incident.

“There is nothing to hide about it. This particular scene was originally a part of My Name Is Khan. If you go to the deleted scenes section in the DVD, you will find the shots there,” says a source.

SRK’s staff members also confirmed the claim. According to sources, director Karan Johar originally had thought that he would include this in the film in the overseas version but later decided against it.

Though the smooch is doing the rounds of a few Indian sites titled Superstar Ka Gay Kiss and on a lot of video sharing sites, no attempt has been made so far to remove the scene from the net. It is increasingly getting popular as more and more sites are picking it up.

“There is nothing to hide as the smooch was done in jest and there was a context to it because it was a hilarious situation.

Seeing the kiss as a separate entity from the situation will be wrong. Everybody, right from Shah Rukh to Karan, thought that it is a hilarious situation. But later those shots were edited out of the film. We should see it progressively, in context of the programme and also keeping in mind the sensibilities of that country,” the source adds.
