One might be wondering what is common between Sunita Williams and Shahrukh Khan. It might sound absurd at first but it is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Though the connotation holds different meaning for both of them, a senior US embassy official, Adnan Siddiqi has compared Sunita Williams with Shahrukh Khan.
American-Indian astronaut Sunita Williams is from NASA and has become the ‘real’ hero after her safe return from the space on the Atlantis with a record of 195 days in the space. And, ‘reel’ hero, Shah Rukh Khan played the role of a NASA engineer who came back to India to ignite the minds of people in the Hindi movie Swades.
Both have acted as a catalystic force in igniting a scientific bent in the minds of their Indian fellowmen. Shahrukh being an
‘on-screen’ representation of Sunita Williams, who came to India on September 20. Like Shah Rukh in the movie, Sunita interacted with people and encouraged students by sharing her knowledge of space. She will be returning to the US on October 4.
Though the ‘real’ action of a ‘real’ hero hits the mind of people with an immediate
action, the onscreen representation of a people’s hero, ‘King’ Khan was convincing enough in Swades.

One of the silliest comments I have come across in recent times. Sunita Williams spent the longest time in space. And she is being compared to SRK because he did a movie with NASA as an indirect subject?? What next? If an actor plays a soldier dying for his country, he would be compared to a real-life soldier who actually sacrifices his life for his country?
