Mumbai: King of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan is not only a reel life hero but also a real life hero. At an event in Mumbai, he saved Ghajini actress Asin when she and her spokesperson got surrounded by over 300 people who tried to shake her hand and touch her.

At a function, a makeshift cubicle was made near the backstage where the stars were asked to wait before they came on the stage.

As Asin was about to enter the cubicle, 300 people surrounded her. Reportedly, the crowd got too close to her as they tried to shake her hand and touch her.

Immediately, Shah Rukh – who was to go on stage next – intervened and ordered his bodyguards to go through the crowd and reach Asin. The buzz is that Shah Rukh with his six bodyguards, who are trained in crowd management, reached Asin and pulled her and her spokesperson out of the crowd.

Sources close to Asin confirmed the incident, saying it was a “scary experience for the actress”. After the incident, Shah Rukh and Asin had a long chat about her security.

The superstar is believed to have advised her on her security and told her to keep bodyguards while going out for such public appearances.

Ghajini girl Asin recently shot the new Big Bazaar TV Commercial with Indian cricket team’s captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni at a studio in Filmcity, Goregaon, Mumbai. Asin had been signed up as Big Bazaar brand ambassador just few months back, but had only done a print ad campaign with them since then. This is her first TV ad shoot for the brand.

It is learnt that this recent ad shoot between Asin and Dhoni took an entire day to shoot and saw many clothes changes for both of them.

In fact, during the breaks both Asin and Dhoni even indulged in playing games. Dhoni seems to be fast gaining popularity amongst brands as just recently another ad featuring Bollywood hottie Bipasha Basu was seen on TV for an international shoe brand.

This new Big Bazaar ad shall be seen on TV from mid-August. Dhoni, presently is on a break since no cricket is happening till the tri series in Sri Lanka in September. Asin is meanwhile, shooting for London Dreams starring Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan and her Indo-Japanese venture.
