Shahrukh Khan, Akon and Kareena Kapoor
Shahrukh Khan married pop singer Akon to Kareena Kapoor at an event in his honor.
Off late, Shahrukh has been known to crack some cheap jokes. Recently, while writing on a social networking site, Shahruk commented, “I asked my friends whether I cracked some cheap jokes at the recently concluded Filfare award function. When they said Yes, I told them that in the times of economic recession, how could I afford costly jokes.”
Though Filmfare event is long over, Shahrukh’s cheap jokes don’t seem to end. Here’s another one of them.
In an event organized in the honor of the pop singer Akon, who is in Mumbai to record a few songs for Shahrukh Khan’s movie Ra 1, Shahrukh married him off to Bollywood lead female star Kareena Kapoor.
The incident happened at the beginning of the party, when Shahrukh and Akon came there.
As Kareena, who had been assigned the duty to put a Tikka on his forehead and garland both Akon and Shahrukh when they entered the party undertook the duty assigned to her, Shahrukh remarked, “In India, when a girl garlands a boy, it is supposed that they have got married. Now, all three of us are married.”
Among others the event was attended by Uday Chopra, Hrithik Roshan , Priyanka Chopra, Abhay Doel, Kangana Ranaut , Karan Johar, Arjun Rampal Dino Morea , Fardeen Khan amoung others.
Reports suggest that though it was planned that Akon will be welcomed at this event in the traditional Indian way, the pop star looked very confused when he was garlanded and a Tikka was put on his forehead. It was right then that Shahrukh cracked this joke and married Karina off to Akon to put on a smile on the face of everyone present.
Meanwhile Shahrukh has clarified that Akon is in Mumbai to sing only for the film Ra 1 and right now, they haven’t discussed any other proposal to work together. Shahrukh also dismissed the reports that there were any plans for the pop singer to record a song for his IPL cricket team Kolkata Knight Riders, though he would not mind if that actually happens.
