Shah Rukh Khan cast a magic spell over the participants of the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon in New Delhi Sunday morning as he mingled with them freely. Many of them even stopped running just to get a glimpse of the superstar who was there to lend support to the event.
"This is the biggest moment of my life... I got to touch Shah Rukh Khan. I bunked my tuition to participate in the run just to meet him," said Prem Kumar, a Class 12 student of Delhi Public School in RK Puram.
Clad in a black t-shirt and jeans and sporting goggles, the actor was thrilled at the crowd's response and energy. He, in fact, had to ask the participants to continue running once he was on stage with Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit at Vinay Marg.
"I am very happy to get this opportunity... Events like these bring you together. Sports is an important thing and people should come together and enjoy. I've run a 100 or 200 metre race, which was a short distance and I always used to win," Shah Rukh, who turns 44, told reporters.
"Though I could not run this time because of my shoulder and knee injury, I'll try to be fit and run next year. Running is a spiritual experience," he added.
