[1]What is it they say about your enemy’s enemy being your friend? Shah Rukh Khan certainly seems to believe in that adage. The superstar has been deliberately cultivating the friendship of Yogesh Lakhani, who heads one of the biggest outdoor advertising firms in the country. Mr Lakhani is incidentally the same person with whom Salman Khan had a falling out just a while ago.
When Sallu’s Ready was being released, the outdoor advertising firm was unable to deliver on the promised hoardings. In a flap, Ready’s makers approached Lakhani, who bailed them out by providing all the hoardings at his disposal. Under the circumstances, he expected Sallu to show his appreciation. Only to be disappointed when at a special screening of Ready, he invited Sallu as his guest, and the star refused to attend.
Now Lakhani has found favour with the Ra.One star. At his birthday bash, SRK was the guest of honour, and the duo jointly cut Lakhani’s birthday cake. But this friendship may just be SRK’s way of having his cake and eating it too — he expects Lakhani to promote Ra.One with as many hoardings as possible. Politics much?
