Bad luck kharab

Mon, May 12 12:35 AM

The man who can do no wrong seems to have hit a dry patch. Shah Rukh Khan's ventures don't seem to be doing too well at all.

The Kolkata team might have won the last match, but according to the latest ratings the team is scraping the bottom - they are number 5 out of 8. What's more, Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass se Tez Hain? has had average TRP ratings, to the extent that sources say sponsors are unhappy with the show's format.

How could the King go wrong? Maybe he's just down on luck and #8230; or maybe the stars are conspiring against him. According to astrologer Namita Vadehra the coming six-seven months are not a good time for our hero.

"He used to be very handsome, but the softness is not there on his face anymore and that is clearly the effect of Saturn." Is that why his show is not doing well? "Of course.

And he is the head of a team so his stars will affect the team." Dr Prem Kumar Sharma's predictions reiterate the bad news.

"From March 8, 2008 to March 12, 2011, the main period of shani (Saturn) is strong," he says. However, things will start improving from August 29 onwards.

"For Paanchvi Pass he predicts a really bad beginning but eventually he says, "it will recover and do well". However, Khan will remain King through the rough patch because the Moon (his date of birth is 2), Sun and Mars all stand up against Saturn for him.

Money will continue to flow for SRK says numerologist Niraj Manchanda. "Even if everything flops, he will make money.

If he's going to make money, what could be that bad? Panchvi Pass, the name the show is being promoted as, comes to number 45, that is a cyclic number and doesn't gel with Shah Rukh who is a number 2. So it could misfire.

" Is that why the IPL team is not up to par? According to Manchanda, if SRK's IPL team didn't have the word Kolkata, it would total 37, which is an "outstanding number". Tarot reader Ritu Kapoor says "he's in trouble for now.

" And according to her, one of the reasons is that there is a lot of negativity around him. "He's under an evil spell of some sort and if doesn't take care about his circumstances or whom he keeps around him, it could be very harmful.

" Adding a somewhat contradicting voice is tarot reader Munisha Khatwani. "No, it's not a bad period for him alone.

It's a bad phase for people in the media as the planets are retrograde." Khatwani says there is a change in fortune after September.

So next time Kolkata loses a match, you know whose stars to blame.
