“Had a wonderful reception at the Rome red carpet for ‘…Khan’! (It’s) fantastic to feel Roman love with my son in tow. Now to Trevi Fountain. Berlin, London, Mumbai, Rome and back to Berlin, two days flat,” Shah Rukh posted on his Twitter page.

The 44-year-old, however, missed his close friend, Karan Johar, who directed the film.

“Poor Karan couldn’t make it, down with malaria… he would have really felt proud about ‘…Khan’. Missing having him here… he would love Rome,” he added.

Shah Rukh, who has been busy shooting for “Don 2″ in Berlin, complained about constant travelling.

“I feel like I was born on a plane. I know the films by heart and the airhostesses by their first names.”
