Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, star of hits like Devdas, Darr, Baazigar and many other films, floored the gathering with his wit and charm.

He urged the pravasis to watch his movies "at least 20 times."

As the audience guffawed, he adopted a serious demeanour and said: "I hope you people have left someone back home to look after your business in the United States and United Kingdom. The dollars should keep rolling in."
