Knowing
Shah
Rukh
Khan
has
its
perks.
Who
knows
that
better
than
Malaika
Arora?
Recently,
she
appeared
on
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
3
and
even
shot
for
a
small
role
in
Farah
Khan"s
Om
Shanti
Om,
produced
by
SRK"s
company
Red
Chillies
Entertainment.
As
a
token
of
his
appreciation,
SRK
sent
her
a
bag
of
goodies.

Says
Malaika,
“Shah
Rukh
approached
me
for
the
role
in
Om
Shanti
Om.
He
said
it"s
sweet
and
funny
and
something
I
haven"t
done
before.
She"s
a
superhero
kind
of
a
character,
clad
in
a
red
gown
and
flying
off
rooftops,
something
like
Jessica
Rabbit
from
Who
Framed
Roger
Rabbit
but
with
a
twist!"
Apparently,
she
did
the
role
for
free.
Says
Malaika,
“I
did
it
for
Farah,
who"s
a
very
dear
friend.
If
she
asks
me
to
stand
upside
down
for
her,
I
will.
I
have
never
had
so
much
fun
playing
a
character
before."
But
Shah
Rukh
and
Farah
know
how
to
repay
their
friends
in
style.
Recently,
Malaika
was
pleasantly
surprised
to
get
a
hamper
from
the
Red
Chillies
unit
–
cards
from
the
crew,
flowers,
a
Tag
Heuer
watch
and
cell
phone.
Laughing,
Malaika
says,
“They
thought
I
needed
a
new
phone
desperately,
that"s
why
they
got
me
one.
It"s
always
a
pleasure
to
work
with
Red
Chillies.
They
give
the
smallest,
personalised
touches
to
everything.
It
makes
all
the
difference."
Malaika
says
that
SRK,
Gauri
and
Farah
are
all
very
close
to
her.
“That"s
why
I
felt
so
at
home
when
Arbaaz
and
I
met
all
of
them
on
the
KBC3
show."
Finger

Arbaaz
and
Malaika
won
Rs
12.50
lakh
on
the
show,
which
they
donated
to
their
favourite
charity
—
St
Anthony"s
Home
For
The
Aged
in
Bandra.
When
we
ask
her
who
was
the
better
player,
she
says,
“We
were
both
equally
good,
but
Arbaaz
had
an
edge.
We
both
love
playing
board
games
like
Trivial
Pursuit
and
Articulate
so
we
are
used
to
it,
but
initially,
I
was
slightly
nervous.
Sitting
in
front
of
Shah
Rukh
is
a
nerve-wracking
experience
but
also
great
fun.
Karan
and
Farah
were
making
us
laugh
a
lot
by
making
cracks
at
each
other.
The
only
time
I
fumbled
was
during
the
fastest
finger
slot,
but
there
too
Arbaaz
beat
all
of
us.
It
was
a
question
on
cricket
and
he
knew
the
answer."
