Shah Rukh Khan meets India’s first transgender band: Photos

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan took time out to meet India’s first transgender band, 6-Pack Band. The meet is said to have happened during the trailer launch of his upcoming film ‘FAN’.

The band, that was launched by YRF’s youth wing, Y-Films, had requested for a meeting with SRK to give him their blessings along with a special message, said an official statement released by the production house.

Press Release from YRF:

Shah Rukh Khan’s love for his fans is known to be as strong as the love of his fans for him. This was evident when, in a first, the exclusive gates of Yash Raj Films Studio were opened to thousands of fans for the launch of the theatrical trailer of his next release ‘Fan’. And as he was prepping for the launch in his greenroom, there was knock on the door from some unexpected fans: India’s 1st Transgender Band, the 6-Pack Band, which was launched by YRF’s youth wing, Y-Films.

The band, on hearing of his presence, had requested for a meeting with Shah Rukh, to give him their blessings along with a special message. SRK, as always, was kind enough to not only pull out time to see them, but as they sang ‘Jabra Fan’ and one of their own original songs to him, he joined them for an impromptu dance, hugging each one of them and wishing them luck in return. Needless to add, the band was over the moon.

One hopes that everyone can learn from a superstar like Shah Rukh Khan to be as gracious towards everyone in general, and most certainly the transgender community to make them feel as accepted, respected and loved. They’re most certainly his fans for life now!

The Brooke Bond Red Label 6-Pack Band is India’s 1st Transgender Band. Their first 3 music videos including a cover of Pharrell’s chartbuster as ‘Hum Hain Happy’ and collaborations with Sonu Nigam ‘Sab Rab De Bande’ have clocked over 7million views. They have 3 more videos in the pipeline including a collaboration with legend Asha Bhosle’s granddaughter Zanai Bhosle that releases in March.

  • Lol is this website an srk specialist or wat, i never saw any little news relating to srk had ever been missed by indicine, but this doesnt go that way for other octors in the industry.

  • i am not against those who comment against srk,everyone has their own opinion but some idiots are there who actually are not human but pretendd to be

  • Who is srk among them I can’t figure out all r same no one can find out there is a mediocre actor available hat’s off to srk for spending some quality time with his kinsman after all he belongs to their class along with kjo.

  • FACTS of Hindi films industry
    .
    No any film is crossed 200cr in first half in a year means the period of January to June. YJHD is the one and only film that is reached 188cr with the help of chartbuster songs and well received by audience. Then how can FAN earn more than 188cr or 200cr without songs and heroine.
    .
    Collections that could be earn in the period of January to June by upcoming films.
    .
    On excellent = 190cr
    .
    On best = 150cr
    .
    On good/average = 120cr
    .
    On bad = less than 90cr
    .
    Super stars films are always belongs to average category. So Fan’s collection will be less than 120cr or may be less than 100cr.
    .
    2minutes silence for those who are predicting above 150cr for Fan.
    .
    Forget 200cr , 250cr, 300cr for FAN
    .
    Just remember this otherwise you have to create a lot of excuses like you gave at time of hny and dilwale.

  • @Trooper…

    Wrong…it’s not Fans that makes a superstar it is these two key words…
    PERSISTENCE and DEDICATION… in order to achieve your ultimate goal.

    Nobody will take that away from both Aamir and Hrithik.

    What kind of assumption is that? Really salute your logic!!!

  • So many shameless retards on Indicine who can insult people by their gender …!

    No doubt they are Bhai fans .

  • Every time I read comments of Bhai fans it vindicates the notion that they are the most classless,cheapest and insensitive fan base.They could go to ant extent to deride somebody even if it means making fun of some communities.Grow up guys there’s a life beyond Srk.

  • @indicine plz delete yuvraj’s last comment abt transgender and 2nd class passenger watever. It’s extremely cheap. Plz delete it. My humble request

  • @ arjun- what is your problem, are you second class passenger or transgender? in both way what i commented is reality.

  • Now lots of ppl make fun of him
    And show d world how big looser they are.
    Nice gesture Sir.
    Love n Respect.

  • @ indicine- but if somebody don’t have enough money than behaviour of these peopoles are extra ordinary.

  • @ indicine- i feel people should stop making their laugh and equal respect to trans gender only after they can work like common humans otherwise they will always demand money in trains, shops and other places.

  • i respect these transgenders who choose right way to earn money for themselves. good luck to you hope all of you achieve success.

  • @Satyajit @ Yuvraj Your comments shows how sick you are. Don’t try your hate-redness to rule you over. It will drench all your goodness very soon

  • It’s totally surreal for a Superstar to do this, this section of society are the one’s who are mocked most of the times, been made fun of.
    The respect I have for SRK has grown even more than it ever was.
    Love you from the core of my heart Sir.
    @nvs hyderabadi, wtf are you doing here ? You made a ‘manly’ statement the other day asking all the haters to stay away from all SRK article’s & you yourself sweared to do the same. What happened now ? Aren’t you a man of your own words ? Atleast these transgender’s are doing something in their life ? What are you doing ? Pooping from your mouth on social media forums.
    Sick.

  • @yuvraj, what do you mean by transgender’s only demand money in trains etc ?
    We have seen ‘Salman Khan’ deliver South remake blockbusters since 2010. He never demanded money in trains, on street etc. What’s your point buddy ?

  • @dabang 2:47 pm.
    Funny ? How can someone stoop so low that you end up passing comments on someone’s family too.
    If you wanna mock him, namecall him not his family.

  • i don’t know why you peoples have feelings for transgenders but when you guy talk about rikshawala’s and poor peoples it is ok. right of being rich.

  • @ indicine- i hope now you understand what was real meaning of that comment.
    @Arjun- first you should understand what was meaning of that comment.
    @ riju basu- i didn’t got appointment of dr.srk. ask him if he give me certificate.

  • no one talking about hard work of these transgender peoples on indicine either they insulting srk or hyping srk because he did pose with them. that’s why i said overhype this star is bad because hard work of other peoples remain unseen every time.
