The first day of my B2- level german course. I was worried about how my batchmates will be. I did wish that there be all youngsters and who can speak or are willing to speak good german. To my surprise, it turned out how I did imagine it to be. During the lectures, someone raised the topic of Bollywood Music and Films. And then our teacher Michael said, “Oh yes that famous actor from India – Shahrukh Khan”. I was really surprised that people from different countries know the actor ‘Shahrukh Khan’ when they hear the word ‘India’. I was shocked that when I talk about India, people know very less things about our country. It is only 3-4 things on the tip of their tongue. Bollywood Music, Cow, Shahrukh Khan, and a country in which many languages are spoken! (Few people have misconception that we Indians can speak all languages of our country)
One saleswoman from Kaufhof Galleria, a mall in Germany, actually thought that Shahrukh sings for the songs in which he is picturised. When I told her that there are playback singers who sing songs, on which he just dances or performs. She was very shocked to know that Shahrukh is not a singer.
I don’t like Shahrukh much and that I am not at all into his fanclub. Sometimes I will not watch a movie if it features Shahrukh. But this time, I am proud of Shahrukh. He has made India and bollywood music so famous on the world map. He has reached into the hearts of common man of all over the world.
