SRK meets Vicente Fox, discusses films, education and much more
MUMBAI: Bollywood is becoming popular across the globe with every passing day and one of the harbingers is actor Shah Rukh Khan whose almost all the movies get good responses internationally.
Recently, it was a moment of pride when former Mexican President Vicente Fox met SRK on the sets of Red Chillies Entertainment’ film Happy New Year. The film is being shot at RK Studios in Mumbai and Fox was accompanied there by his wife, Martha Fox and the current Mexican ambassador to India Jamie Nualart.
They discussed everything from Bollywood films, to things about Mexico and the importance of education. The meeting was organised by KidZania, in whose Indian franchise SRK owns about 26 per cent stake.
Fox said, “We have been visiting many places, but meeting SRK and talking to him we feel he is a great person. The set is fabulous and the activity is just amazing. We hope that Mr Shah Rukh Khan would visit us at Mexico some day. India is a great country with great people, he has always admired India. Also proud that KidZania is Mexican and I am glad that it has SRK’s blessings and that he is looking into the Indian franchise of this wonderful way of educating kids with entertainment.”
