King Khan is star attraction at Zee Carnival, Singapore
By Assam on October 7, 2008
Bollywood super star Shah Rukh Khan aka King Khan will be the main attraction of the Zee Carnival, a two-day entertainment and lifestyle extravaganza to be held in Singapore next weekend. The carnival on Oct 11 and 12 is being held at Suntec City, a popular conference and exhibition space in the heart of downtown Singapore. At the carnival, Shah Rukh’s fans will have a chance to get up close and personal with him.
Shah Rukh has a huge fan-base in Singapore, thanks to the Indian expatriate community. His photographs often find their way into the lifestyle sections of newspapers here, while a leading daily newspaper recently carried a two-page interview with him. Already the Shah Rukh fever is catching on. Apart from his fans among the 200,000-strong Indian expatriate community in Singapore, large crowds are also expected from neighbouring Malaysia.
Not just Indians, but the growing numbers of other Bollywood fans in Singapore had flocked to cinemas when Shah Rukh’s two recent blockbusters, “Om Shanti Om” and “Chak De! India” were released here.
Apart from King Khan, the other stars who will make an appearance are mainly from the Zee TV stable, including the host of the “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa” show Aditya Narayan, the show’s singers Raja Hasan and Poonam Jatav, Iqbaal Khan and the singing duo, Sharad and Kirti Kelkar, better known by their screen names, Nahar and Chandni.
The Zee event also includes a lifestyle segment showcasing fashion and design trends from across the globe. TV show host and chef Sanjeev Kapoor of “Khana Khazana” fame will be giving cookery demonstrations. That is expected to be a big draw.

Dear SRK,
I was waiting for you at the front row on Sunday from 11 am till 7 pm hoping that I could handshake with you at least. Sadly, you didn’t come off stage due to security reasons. I was the tall one in the brown outfit who just can’t stop recording your video via my handphone. I had missed the snapshots with you due to the extremely long queue. How I’ve also missed that very precious hug from you. Hope to see you in Singapore again soon with a much longer performance. Must tell Zee Carnival to provide chairs for SRK’s fans this time instead of standing for 7-8 hours in anticipation.
Hope we can keep in touch via emails?
Cheers : Your great fan!
