On December 21, a glittering bash celebrating veteran producer Anand Pandit's 60th birthday attracted the biggest stars in B-Town. It was no surprise then that King Khan was present despite his big release coinciding with his dear friend Anand Pandit's celebrations. Shah Rukh Khan showed up despite a hectic schedule to celebrate Pandit's special evening.


On the evening of Anand Pandit's 60th birthday, his autobiography was also launched. At the occasion, Khan took to the stage and addressed the crowd speaking about his association with the producer.  In the night, at 12-1 am, he comes to visit me and we roam around Juhu. He doesn’t tell me, ‘this is my building, that is my building.’ Instead, in the two-kilometer drive, he tells me barring two to three buildings, all buildings are his (laughs). Our journey becomes easy,” Shah Rukh said. sharing an insight into the kind of bond they share. 


“My final relationship with him is he is my spiritual guru. His buildings, under the Lotus Developers, are so high-tech and modern. I was surprised when I saw … Once you get into these buildings, you feel like you’re in New York or London. They are so high-end and still so close to being like home — warm, beautiful and such ammenities,” he added, praising not only Anand but his family members too.


“Since he is a developer, he knows Vaastu well. Every now and then I call him home and tell him, ‘Sir, meri pichli waali picture chali nahi, kuch kar do.’ Anand sir would suggest putting up a mirror (or something auspicious). But fortunately, my movies are working,” Shah Rukh said in a fun manner.
