| Shah Rukh Khan |
There were a lot of stars at the film award function held recently in Toronto, but actor Shah Rukh Khan was given a preferential treatment above everybody else.
While every other actor was lodged in a downtown hotel in Toronto, Khan was put up at the best suite in one of the topmost hotels there.
"He was given the best suite and there was special staff posted for him both for the awards and the hotel. Shah Rukh had also flown in with his own staff and they were all lodged along with him," says a source.
There was also a special task force formed by the organisers that was supposed to look after Khan exclusively. "There was no brief for them, except to 'standby and wait for anything that he wants'.
Khanbriefly had some problem with the taps in his bathroom (he later said that he got confused between the hot and cold water taps in the shower) but overall he seemed to have enjoyed the stay," the source adds.
Though there were some reports that Khan's knee was bleeding after his performance, a staff member who was also on standby for the actor said that there was nothing as such.
"He was hurt and we had put him on cortisone injections (a kind of steroid to ease the pain) but he was not bleeding because the nature of the injury was internal (in his muscles)," the staff member said.
According to sources, the entire business section of the aircraft was also sealed off when Khan was leaving the venue. "The entire area was sealed off for him and his staff. When he was coming here, there was only Dharmendra (actor) with him. But he left alone after a brief meeting with Priyanka (actress Priyanka Chopra)," the source adds.
Chopra apparently waited for three hours to speak to Khan personally.
The eternal romantic teams up with the king of romance once again. As already announced, Yash Chopra's next directorial venture stars the king of romance, Shahrukh Khan. As Yashji put it earlier, "Everyone knows that when I make a movie, Shahrukh

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is truly
Bollywood's badhshah and his
welcome at Toronto's Fairmont
Royal York hotel was proof
enough!As around a hundred fans,
who waited to catch a glimpse of
the actor at the hotel lobby Friday
morning, the actor broke into an
impromptu little jig despite his
knee injury - turning his entry into
a mini red carpet walk!
Looking dapper in a casual jacket,
jeans and sunglasses, the actor
arrived at the hotel amid much
cheer, applause, and shout outs
from girls who went "SRK, come
here, SRK come here".
Ever since the IIFA kickstarted, fans
have been awaiting Shah Rukh's
arrival, and they didn't want to
miss it for anything.
Natasha Khalfan, a crazy SRK fan
took off from work, and reached
the hotel at 8 a.m. even when she
knew he won't arrive before 10
a.m.
"I have taken day off just to see
Shah Rukh. I have been following
him on Twitter, and he has been
writing about his flight and his
injury. Whoever wanted to miss the
chance of seeing him! Oh my god...I
just saw SRK!," an over-excited
Khalfan told IANS.
"I even said 'I love you' to him, and
can you imagine...he looked at me,
and smiled back. Oh my god! It's
the most precious moment of my
life," said the recently married
Khalfan, who tells that her husband
proposed to her Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
style.
Gujarati girl Viral Paun was another
fan, who had been awaiting Shah
Rukh's visit, and says she didn't
sleep at all the last night because
she feared missing Shah Rukh's
arrival.
There were other young girls - Riya
Oommen and Shikha Jagwani from
Mississauga, who felt "luckiest" to
reach the hotel at the same time as
Shah Rukh even when they didn't
know about his flight timings.
"What a perfect timing!" The die-
hard Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
fans screamed excitedly, and
added: "This is the closest as it
could get! We were just in time to
see him. He is the most talented
actor!"
Even the security personnel had a
hard time managing the crowds.
"Many actors have come ever since
the IIFA kickstarted. But managing
Shah Rukh Khan has been the
hardest!" said a hotel official.
Shah Rukh has returned to IIFA
after six years, and he will be
performing at the IIFA awards
night after seven years.

The screams reached near ear-shattering decibels Friday as Shahrukh Khan, the man known as Bollywood's Brad Pitt, arrived in Toronto for this weekend's 12th annual International Indian Film Awards.
Thousands of screaming supporters jammed Pearson Airport to welcome the man fans call "King Khan."
The madness continued as a crush of admirers, media and security accompanied Khan to the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. Later Friday, Khan will be at Toronto's City Hall to meet with Mayor Rob Ford. He will be presented with a special scroll and Toronto flag by the mayor inside the council chambers. Khan will also meet with Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre as part of the IIFA celebrations.
This is the first year the awards are being held in North America.
Check out the "in the raw" video for our interview with Shahrukh Khan and footage of his arrival.
