It is no secret that SRK is a workaholic and prefers to spend his time doing something concrete. But to the surprise of many, the actor bunked his work day for something special.

Shah Rukh Khan is presently gearing for the release of Aanand L Rai directorial ‘Zero‘. However, the actor decided to skip work for something special and that is a first signed copy of the Indian edition of Paulo Coelho’s book ‘Hippie’.

Shah Rukh Khan and best-selling author Paulo Coehlo share a mutual admiration club on Twitter. Both have shared tweets in the past in praise of one another. The author took to his social media handle and tweeted, “India: first signed copy of @PenguinIndia edition of HIPPIE goes to @iamsrk”. The caption of the book read, “My Dear Friend Shah Rukh Khan, Here is the first copy of the Indian edition! You deserve it! Love.”
