Varanasi Aug 3 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is a big box office draw and anything associated with him can set the cash registers ringing. And that is what a Varanasi paan shop owner did: He has named a paan after the uncrowned King of Romance of Bollywood.

Tamboolam Paan Shop owner Satish Kumar told media Shah Rukh Khan aka SRK and his "Jab Harry met Sejal" co-star Anushka Sharma dropped by at his shop during a promotional tour and ever since his customers and others were curious to know which paan was savoured by the super star.
