At one point, Shahrukh asked few members from the audience to join him at the stage. I was shocked by how my own people behaved on the stage. One took away water from Shahrukh Khan. Another one flatly said that, he did not "Like" Hindi and cannot speak Hindi. He proceeded to "Order" the world famous star to speak in Bangla or English. (If you ask me)This "genius" could not speak bangla properly either. I wondered what the hell this clown was doing watching Shahrukh Khan? As we all know he is a Hindi film hero.
Organizers were busy making money and showing how much they love "Bangabandhu". Such a shame!!

Re: [ALOCHONA] Shahrukh Khan’s concert in Dhaka
I was discussing this concert with some people. I was told many Indian and Pakistani artists are regularly coming to Dhaka and making big money in short time. While our tax department is motivating average citizens to pay taxes, I thought it would be nice, if they focus on this new trend and collect proper taxes from organizers.

Shahrukh Khan's concert in Dhaka
LIKE Tayeb Husain I too welcome Shahrukh Khan's concert in Dhaka (12/12/10). But some matters about the concert leave a bad taste in the mouth. The long delay in the concert starting, technical glitches, dead microphones, poor presenters, cheap stage setup, etc do not bode well at all. Many suspect regional involvement in the BDR tragedy. The cost of the tickets indicates the increasing the gap between our haves and have-nots. Some say this is the event of the year. Given the complete absence of Bangladesh on the international tours of any major act it seems that this is the event of the decade and this is not something to be proud of. The concerns about the taxation of fees paid to the stars are perhaps secondary. Could the authorities confirm that tax was paid by the organisers—let alone the stars? We all know the answer to that. Finally, I hope this is not the start of a new trend where Indian film stars pop over to Dhaka for an evening of dance to earn some good money while we think that Dhaka has finally arrived on the world stage.
