Shah Rukh Khan enthralled a packed show in Dhaka, dancing to his hit numbers and speaking Bengali.
At the show, titled King Khan Live in Dhaka, the over 25,000-strong audience comprising mostly youngsters chanted "Shah Rukh", "Shah Rukh".
Khan led a team of Bollywood actors, including Rani Mukherjee and Arjun Rampal, and singers along with Bangladeshi artists to put on a show that was "memorable for its wonderful performances", New Age newspaper said on Sunday.

Reaching out to the audience, the Indian superstar said in Bengali: "Ami Bangabandhu Shaikh Mujibur Rahman deshey Bharatbarsho thekey onek onek bhalobasha aar shubhechcha boye enechhi. [I bring India's good wishes to the nation of Shaikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's founding leader]."
"I've heard of Kazi Nazrul Islam, Jasimuddin. I love Runajee's [Runa Laila] music. That's why I'm in Dhaka," The Daily Star quoted Khan as saying.
Bengali belle Mukherjee danced to a medley of hit songs from her films, including Saathiya, Hum Tum and Shava Shava.
Dazzling the audience with her smile and girl-next-door charm, Mukherjee said: "You folks have been supporting me since the beginning of my career. I want your love and support more in the days ahead, so that I deliver better performances."
