B-town’s favourite on-screen couple and ‘My Name Is Khan’ co-stars - Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol – have earned a prestigious credit.

Both the stars had been in US as a part of ‘My Name Is Khan’ promotion. And as a unique way to promote the film, SRK and Kajol rung the opening bell of the world's biggest stock exchange, NASDAQ - an honour usually reserved for CEOs of major corporations. They have, thus, become the first Indian actors to enjoy such status.

The couple were at the NASDAQ building in Times Square on Monday morning. Before making his presence at the event, an excited SRK penned on twitter, “Nasdaq will be fun. Have to make sure I reach on time, otherwise will end up being blamed for economic upheaval across the world too... ha ha.”

Directed by filmmaker Karan Johar and produced by Dharma Productions, ‘My Name Is Khan’ is all set to hit the screens on February 12 worldwide. Also starring Jimmy Shergill and Tanay Chheda, the film was reportedly sold to Fox Star Studios last July for a record $21 million, the highest price ever paid by a distributor for a Bollywood film.

‘My Name Is Khan’ is also said to have a premiere at the 60th annual Berlin International Film Festival during the week of its release.
