Shah Rukh Khan to host reception for Prince William and Kate Middleton in Mumbai

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan is all set to introduce Britain's royal couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who are in India as a part of their seven-day tour of India and Bhutan.

The royal couple, who arrived in Mumbai on Sunday, will be given a starry reception in the city, which will be attended by film stars including SRK, Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, according to the British High Commission.

Speaking about the same, Shah Rukh Khan told PTI,

"There will be lot of actors and friends so it will be fun. I think it's a big honour to be there and introduce them and be nice. We will decide if they want to see the film ("Fan") or not. In England, they still watch our films. So hopefully let's see."

Apart from introducing the Royal couple, another important task Shah Rukh has on Sunday, is to support his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders, who have a match against Delhi Daredevils. "I have my match (tomorrow). I want to watch it (and) I want to go to Kolkata. But it doesn't take away from the fact that it is important that I introduce Prince Williams and his wife, Kate. I just introduce them. I am not performing for them. Nobody is performing," King Khan added.
