MUMBAI: Our jetsetting Bollywood stars have seemingly itchy feet these days. With Mumbai becoming too crowded and uninspiring, filmmakers are keen to shift the action elsewhere.

This time around, our favorite Bollywood stars, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, were spotted at the Mumbai airport in the early hours of the morning. The sunlight streamed across their sleepy yet excited faces, as the duo walked into the domestic airport at Mumbai.

The film: Rohit Shetty’s ambitious comic caper, ‘Chennai Express’ of course.

Shah Rukh was ever the magnanimous, chivalrous superstar as he shielded his on-screen lady love Deepika from the onslaught of the paparazzo.

He looked fit in jeans, a light green pullover and a pair of dark sunglasses. Deepika rocked the early morning Caribbean island look in a pair of off-white cropped pants and a cream blouse. Not to be missed was her over-sized boho bag.

The duo, who were last seen in Farah Khan’s delicious tale of reincarnation and the inner trappings of the film industry – ‘Om Shanti Om’, and are now pitted against each other in ‘Chennai Express’. The lovely, leggy lass of course owes her career to Shah Rukh, who gave her her first break. Perhaps this is why she has such a soft spot for Khan and his million dollar, dimpled smile.

Said Deepika, when asked about who she considers has the best smile in B’town, “I think for me, Shah Rukh has the best smile because it’s not just about the smile. It’s also the energy that he sort of gives out with his smile and the dimples that he and I both share.”

With such a charming personality and such a winning smile, it is not just Deepika but all his loyal female fans too, who are floored by the King Khan! Witty, irreverent and absolutely charming, no one can stand a chance when faced with that disarming, crinkled, impish grin that Shah Rukh flashes straight at us.
