SATURDAY MUST-WATCH: This VIDEO Of Shah Rukh Khan Speaking In Bengali Will Leave You In Splits
Yesterday, the Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF) witnessed a massive opening with stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh, Kamal Haasan and Kajol joining the ceremony. The charismatic SRK, once again charmed the audiences by delivering a speech in Bengali.

"I have promised that I will keep on learning Bangla. My Bengali has to get better. This is my new attempt with eight lines. Please bear with me. Let me get this right because by next year I have to do it without reading it off a paper," said Shah Rukh Khan.

Sanskriti ebong oitihjjyor ei shohor (Kolkata is the city of culture). Shob cheye Mishti Shohor Kolkata (It is the sweetest city).

The megastar also requested for a dhoti. "Next time I am going to ask my friends to give me a dhoti also... Come and speak in full Bengali... fluent also and be here," he said, congratulating State Chief Minister Minister Mamata Banerjee for organising the festival.
