But then, who cares? Shah Rukh was there and so it was news!
Maybe the event was about cricket, but then even the willow that SRK gleefully wielded for the cameras had Nokia Connecting People written on it! WTF! And since when does the game of Cricket need a press event to promote it?

So why half of Bollywood is now trying to sell cricket?

But we digress... Besides, time will clear the thick fog that prevails on the eve of the first IPL match between Bangalore Royal Challengers and Kolkata Knight Riders at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore, tomorrow, April 18.

He is seen wearing the same jersey on the jacket of the music album CD.

"That makes me what I am," he added.
