Temptation Reloaded in Netherlands
The eagerly awaiting and screaming fans were proof enough as to how much everyone was awaiting this tour. In Netherlands, Shah Rukh performed on stage with Bollywood favourites like Arjun Rampal, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor in an auditorium with a capacity of 25,000 before a mixed audience of Asians and Europeans.

Shah Rukh and Arjun Rampal wowed the crowd by driving through the aisles of the auditorium in light vehicles. The stadium was filled with the adoring screams of fans, some of whom showered them with trinkets, flowers and notes.Colours, costumes, music, dance and Shah Rukh's charismatic screen presence brought the house down.

The Frenzy
An online Swiss fan forum has a special web page filled with thank you notes to Shah Rukh for coming to Europe. The notes thank the superstar for the color that he brings into lives and for being the light for fans in the dark. 'Such feelings become stronger at the possibility of a meeting with Shah Rukh Khan. The desire is to touch him in an attempt to experience some more of the joy and happiness that he radiates,' Elke Mader, a professor of Vienna University who monitors the behaviour of non-South Asian fans of Shah Rukh Khan for Bollyglobal, a research project, told IANS.

'The experience of fans like Christina goes beyond admiring Shah Rukh Khan as a movie star. Shah Rukh is seen much more than just an entertainer here. He is happiness and love personified. Fans want to touch him and to talk to him because he is able to transfer a lot of joy to those who are lucky enough to cross his path,' Mader said

These 2 tours being carried on by such great personalities of Bollywood is a clear indication of the rivalry that still exists between them. While both the Giants of Bollywood has not left any stone unturned to make their individual tours succesful, the fans are the enjoying it the most and benefiting from it.
