In all fairness

Like everyone else, I watched Shah Rukh Khan cheer for the Indian team at SA (later, I also read that he was praying – like everyone else was, said he). And just after that, I read Neha’s post Fair, lovely, handsome and blah!. Reminded me of something I read a long long time ago – Michael Jackson has come full circle, from poor black male to rich white female. That was Michael Jackson, I am not saying anything here about Shah Rukh Khan. Go see any of the pictures floating around of SRK with son at the stadium.

Update – September 27th : and what do I see this morning in Bombay Times? ‘Who’s da king?’ – The undisputed King of Pop and the most successful entertainer of all time according to the Guinness Book of World Records, Michael Jackson, and King Khan Shah Rukh of Bollywood, have more than just the superlative King in common other than being two of the most famous humans walking planet Earth. And if you think we’re talking about Michael’s alabaster skin or his signature moonwalk in rhinestone studded trousers, then just ‘beat it’! It’s the Kings’ hair and aviator styles that’s making for haute conversations despite Team India’s marvellous performance at the T20 World Cup. With photographs of SRK and MJ looking oh so cute, like two sis, brothers… Please go find the link on TOI’s epaper if you have the energy – but let me tell you this – Bombay Time actually had to include this caption below the photographs – WHO’S LOOKING LIKE WHOM? Michael Jackson and (right) Shah Rukh Khan – just in case it wasn’t clear, you see.
