y, Shrayana Bhattacharya, the author of ‘Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh’ got a chance to meet Shah Rukh Khan at his residence, Mannaton Sunday. She took to Instagram and revealed that the actor spent an hour with her, and also gave her a handwritten note. She posted a photo of the note, and mentioned that the ‘book had reached its intended destination’.
On the note, SRK had written to Shrayana, “Thank you for putting me to some good use. My love and thanks to you and all those wonderful women who like me so much. More power to you and your tribe.”
Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh was released last year. The book revolved around women who are divided in class, but are united by their love for SRK. A description from Goodreads says, “Embracing Hindi film idol Shah Rukh Khan allows them a small respite from an oppressive culture, a fillip to their fantasies of friendlier masculinity in Indian men. ” A most unusual and compelling book on the female gaze, this is the story of how women have experienced post-liberalization India,” it added.
Meanwhile, SRK is making a comeback after 5 years. In 2023 January he will be seen in Pathaan, and in December of the same year, he will star in Dunki, helmed by Rajkumar Hirani.
