Money raised from sale of shoes can run your channel'

Could it be true? A journalist was interviewing Shahrukh Khan on NDTV and was obsequiously asking questions that..'so you wear only branded shirts,...', and then asked him about his grotesque shoes and the actor admitted that they were odd but special because if he put them for auction so much money could be raised that it could meet the expesnses run your channel for an entire year. And it was telecast on the channel. Why are these people mad about actors and treat everybody as a demigod. This happened sometime back, more than a month ago.

The other day a reporter got so excited with Dilip Kumar that the legendary actor had to say 'Aap itna chilla kyon rahi hain'. And the anchor had also made a fool of self while trying to undo the damage.
