Aligarh, Jan 19 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will visit the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Jan 23 to hold 'interactive sessions' with the varsity students, an AMU official said Tuesday.

'Noted Urdu poet and lyricist Javed Akhtar and versatile actress and social activist Shabana Azmi will accompany Shah Rukh and participate in the interactive sessions. Both of them had also contacted the varsity's administration for organising the interactive sessions,' he added.

According to varsity officials, the decision to invite Shah Rukh, Javed and Shabana, has been taken following their requests to interact with the students.

'They had just wished to interact with the students. They had not mentioned any particular topic on which they want to interact. So, AMU is inviting them on their personal wishes,' Abrar told IANS.
