If you come across a fan who has spent thousands to meet his favourite star in Hyderabad, don’t laugh at him. Because someone has spent crores and crores to be able to have a meeting with his favourite Bollywood stars. He even presented costliest gifts to the likes of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. This is not fiction. This is a fact that is stranger than fiction!
The legendary guy is Sheikh Hamad Isa Ali Al Khalifa from Bahrain. (It’s a good news that he is not from India). He is from a royal family and is the son of Bahrain’s former Oil Minister. The filthy rich Sheik has been a big fan of Bollywood movies. He has watched 100s of Hindi movies and learned dialogues by heart!
In 2016, he struck an agreement with an Egyptian entrepreneur named Ahmed Adel Abdallah Ahmed. The Sheik asked Ahmed to fix appointments with SRK, Salman and 24 other Bollywood stars. Remuneration that he promised to give him will blow your mind away: It’s £35 million (Rs 321 crore).
Believe it or not, for meetings with SRK, Aditya Roy Kapur, Salman Khan, and Ranveer Singh, the Sheik has paid Rs 24.70 Cr!
The Sheik honoured payments in the beginning, but after a point, he started dishnouring the agreement. He seems to have realized his folly after spending Rs 25 Cr.
The businessman has now sued the Sheik in a UK court. The rich man has complained to the court that the businessman took advantage of his weakness for Bollywoodians.
