> Secondly, the IPL was sending out a message to Pakistan.

> But she is using kid gloves to deal with Shah Rukh Khan.
> Why ?

> Mr. Khan was on an NDTV program where he shamelessly used
> his popularity with the cinema going young crowd to say, and
> I am virtually quoting him:

> " . . . they are great neighbours. . let's love them."

> The audience burst into applause !

> His body language, his words, his facial expressions, all

> Are these 'great' neighbours ?

> Shah Rukh Khan surely knows what he is doing.

> He has led a charmed life. It is time the Indian media
