Before locking sticks with Sushmita Sen for an elephant polo exhibition match, Shah Rukh Khan said he follows hockey closely. "I've never played polo in my life. I was a centre forward during school (St. Columba's) and college (Hansraj). And I grew up hearing about the wizardry of Major Dhyan Chand from my father, who was a hockey player too," he said at the launch of TAG-Heuer's Carrera Classic series of watches in Jaipur.

"Car racing excites me. I used to follow the fortunes of Mika Hakkinen in the past and adore David Coulthard now. Among the new crop of players, Juan Pablo Montoya is fabulous. I was an athlete during school in Delhi. I guess having long legs helps, be it sports or showbiz." Besides mouthing the predictable "I grew up dreaming of owning a TAG watch" lines, SRK said that sporting legends fascinate him. "Sportsmen who've inspired me include Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and Tiger Woods. Woods has brought grace and charisma to golf," he said. And SRK knows a thing or two about charisma. Ask the thousands of hysterical fans who turned up at the Rambagh Palace grounds to watch him. Besides the masses, there was royalty rubbing shoulders with the beautiful people to catch a sprinkling of stardust too. Spotted in the audience: Arvind Singh Mewar of Udaipur and Bhawani Singh of Jaipur.

SRK and Sush look so cute. they make a great pair together. I better watch Main Hoon Na soon now.

I finally watched MHN against all my instincts...It was worth the $2 for DVD...not a penny more, not a penny less.

Pranav

Thanks I will take your word for it and will get the DVD.
