The highly anticipated, My Name is Khan, can only be described as one word after it’s opening weekend: outstanding. It grossed $761,000 for a 4% increase over Saturday. The figures from its first Sunday release ranked as the highest one-day gross ever for any Hindi-language film in North America! Talk about making a success movie Karan Johar! The Fox Searchlight release’s revised opening weekend figure for February 12-14 now stands at $1,939,000 – still a new all-time record for a Hindi film beating the $1,764,131 of 2007’s Om Shanti Om. And believe it or not, theaters across the country reported sold out shows and even had to turn moviegoers away!

Recently Shahrukh Khan and Kajol were in New York City, and they started talking about the other actors in the film. Suddenly Shahrukh said, “…they were outstanding, amazing talent, so it was really wonderful to work with them. There’s a lady who played Mama Jenny in the film. She told me, “Inshallah when this film wins the Oscar you guys have to come to LA to eat ice cream at my house,’.”

With that I’d like to present to you an intimate interview with actress Jennifer Echols, whom we so lovingly call Mama Jenny.

Jennifer, please give our readers a little bit about yourself! How long have you been acting and when did you get your first ‘break.’
In my opinion, my acting began in junior high school. However, I’m very sure there are countless people who would seriously disagree with that.  I landed my first ‘break’ in a Guest Star role on the TV show Married with…Children.

You’ve acted in an array of films and television shows. What is the main difference you find in preparing for a television role versus a film role?
Mainly the time allotted to prepare the…

I maybe got home from the movie theater about 20 minutes ago and immediately sat down in front of my computer. What can I possibly write about this movie, so that as a writer, I can give justice, I thought to myself.

Throughout the entire movie, it was dead silent. You could literary hear a pin drop. The only time there was noise was at the end when the audience gave the film a standing ovation, cheered, and whistled.

Job well done Karan Johar; job well done.

After having met Shahrukh Khan and Kajol and hearing them talk about the passion, emotion & depth which went into making My Name is Khan, everything was completely understood after seeing their on-screen chemistry that night.Shahrukh Khan plays the character of Rizwan Khan who suffers from Aspergers Syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder, in which affected people show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.

In regards to playing a character with an Autistic disorder, Shahrukh told us:
Actually, I have been very interested in what is known as neruo-atypical behavior. I won’t say I enjoy it, but I’m very intrigued about how a different mind thinks. It’s very easy for all of us to sit down and say ‘Oh this person is abnormal’ but I want to know does he think the same about us? When I was younger, I was in a theatre group and we did a lot of work with autistic children and that’s where the interest started. And about four or five years back, a book had come out called “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime” about a little kid who has autism. I was really moved by that novel and I gave it to Karan and…

Yes, that’s right, the King Khan himself, Mr. Shahrukh Khan, has proposed to a lovely and sweet Gujarati girl!

Alright, he isn’t literally marrying her, but the gesture was sweet! When I heard that Shahrukh Khan got down on one knee and proposed to 20-year-old Tillana Desai, I had to get my journalist-cap on and find out the true details!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first and only place where you’ll get to see the official photographs of Tillana Desai and The King Khan down on one knee, proposing to her!

So what really happened?!

Tillana told me, “the experience was magical…I did it just to express my admiration and respect for him.” She went onto say, “he’s a fantastic human being…but at the same time, I know I can’t really marry him..so on impulse, to keep my heart, he went down on his knees…I told him I always wanted to marry him since the age of 7…he said I cant marry you in real but we can rehearse!!! And then he asked me, Tillana, will you marry me? There was nothing or no one in the world that would make me say no!”
