Indian film stars seemed zapped by the zesty reception Toronto gave them, and we're sure they will keep going back to Toronto for more love. As King Khan said at the awards show, "My name is Khan, and I'm a Torontonian." Every mention and every glimpse of Bollywood's King Khan aroused deafening cheers from the crowd. Shahrukh Khan was everything his fans love about him: calm, cool, courteous, and charming. Despite a fractured knee, Khan made sure to meet as many fans as possible during his short stay in Toronto. He hosted flawlessly, and invited the audience into his performance to various Bollywood songs, modified to account for his knee problems. Khan was surprised by a fan who ran onstage to touch his feet before being escorted away by security. He handled the situation calmly and with his trademark humour, lamenting that his problem was that girls are not the ones to grab his thighs. A fan also fainted after seeing him on the green carpet, a further testament to Khan's star power.
