Congress diplomacy through movie

Congress leader Salman Khurshid and German Ambassador to India Michael Steiner made their acting debut recently with a remake video of Shah Rukh Khan-Saif Ali Khan-starrer 2003 romantic drama `Kal Ho Naa Ho`. Titled `Lebe Zetzt-Kal Ho Naa Ho`, the video stars German Ambassador to India Michael Steiner in the lead along with his wife Eliese who stars in the role earlier played by Preity Zinta while former foreign minister of India, Salman Khurshid filled in the role played by Saif Ali Khan. Salman said life and politics don`t know about tomorrow and the future. Khurshid said Indian and German cultures have similar roots. Michael Steiner said it was a lot of hard work for him as he does not know Hindi and a challenge to imitate India`s top actors like Shah Rukh Khan. The film is also an ode to Bollywood. Steiner admits that his wife and he are Bollywood addicts, having seen over 150 Bollywood films. The premiere of the music `Lebe Zetzt-Kal Ho Naa Ho` was attended by actress Sharmila Tagore, Saif Ali Khan, Javed Akhtar, Madhu Kishwar and director Sumit Osmand Shaw.
