Shahrukh
Khan
showed
up
to
Ekta
Kapoor's
Global
Indian
Film
and
TV
Honors
event
on
Saturday,
only
for
his
closeness
to
the
TV
czarina
and
her
mom.

At
his
wife's
insistence,
King
Khan
even
did
a
segment
instead
of
the
longer
act
he
was
to
do.
Says
an
insider,
"All
of
last
week,
SRK
has
been
shooting
for
Farhan
Akhtar's
Don
2
and
Zor
Ka
Jhatka.
On
Wednesday,
he
fell
off
a
cable
while
shooting
heavy-duty
action
scenes
for
Don
2
and
hurt
his
back
and
injured
his
elbow.
“But
being
the
professional
he
is,
he
completed
all
his
shoots
and
went
home.
The
only
commitment
left
was
the
spoof
segment
he
was
to
do
for
Ekta's
awards
show.
But
by
Thursday,
it
was
obvious
that
Shahrukh
was
in
pain
and
that
it
would
be
impossible
for
him
to
perform."
A
panic-stricken
Ekta
quickly
rushed
to
meet
Shahrukh
when
he
was
shooting
for
the
show.
"A
visibly
upset
King
Khan
told
Kapoor
that
he
wouldn't
be
able
to
perform.
Seeing
him
in
that
state,
she
didn't
have
the
heart
to
persuade
him
otherwise."
Shahrukh
normally
never
cancels
his
performances.
"He
even
told
Ekta
that
he
has
never
done
this
in
his
life.
When
he
commits
to
an
event
he
makes
sure
he
does
it,
come
what
may.
Meanwhile,
news
of
the
no-show
got
B-Town
abuzz
with
speculation
that
SRK
was
backing
out
due
to
differences
with
Ekta.
Few
know
how
close
he
is
to
the
Kapoors."
Wife
Gauri
also
insisted
that
he
should
not
let
Ekta
down
"So,
Khan
came
for
the
event,
bandaged
hand
and
all,
and
did
five
special
moments
with
actresses
Kajol,
Sridevi,
Sonali
Bendre
and
Vidya
Balan.
Not
just
that,
he
even
presented
an
award
given
to
Ajay
Devgn
(the
actor
was
absent;
wife
Kajol
picked
it
up).
He
later
left
for
Malaysia
for
Don
2's
shoot."
Ekta
says,
"Shahrukh
is
a
sweetheart.
He
couldn't
perform
as
he
was
in
pain
but
he
came
and
helped
us
out
with
a
segment
that
he
ideated
himself
an
interactive
session
of
five
interesting
moments
with
the
audience
and
heroines.
SRK
is
not
just
a
superstar
but
a
super
human
being!"
