SRK's black belt
You’ve heard of honorary doctorates, but honorary black belts? Bollywood czar Shahrukh Khan who has been appointed the Honorary Ambassador of Korea (Culture & Tourism) has been conferred the title ‘Honorary Black Belt (5 Dan) of Taekwondo’. The ceremony, a press release from the Korean National Tourism Organisation says, was held at the Taj Lands End Hotel in Mumbai. And in case you think SRK has just got the black belt for nothing, Korea’s honorary ambassador said, according to the press release, that he had ‘developed a keener interest in sports such as Taekwondo now because of his children — son Aryan, who has won 10 gold medals in sports and daughter Suhana who’s won 3 gold medals in sports activities at the school level’. SRK also said that given the rising interest in sports in India, this was the right time to associate with Korea which is known for its strong base in sports. Bollywood’s macho man Akshay Kumar is probably trembling in the face of SRK’s new black belt.
