Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan, who has been busy shooting for Farah Khan’s Happy New Year, has taken some time off to spend time with family.

‘At times I do good things & at times the opposite... last two days I have done nothing. Dormant languid lazy….it’s a nice new feeling,’ the 48-year-old actor tweeted.

But earlier, he took a break from 'being lazy' and went club-hopping with son Aryan. ‘This year love like the sea. Give life to all & let them thrive within ur universe & still remain larger, deeper & able 2 replenish yourself. And now for some what the kids refer to as EDM. I thought it was scientific abbreviation…works out it means electronic dance music… Anonymity & club hopping with the boys. Fun but I am too young for all this. Gimme a few yrs & I will paint so many towns in so many colours,’ he added.

‘And as cheesy as it may sound….but this 31st most of the people in the world will say the name of our new film as a greeting!!! Happy New Year...’ he signed off.

Amitabh Bachchan, meanwhile, is holidaying in Dubai with his family.

‘Zipping through waters of the sea, jet skiing with the grandchildren and getting beaten ! Frustrated ! Even at such high speeds !!’ he tweeted.

He added: ‘The Panama ... the sea ... and after getting beat on Jet Ski by grandchildren !!’
