Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in a recent promotional event, seemed quite annoyed by the unnecessary controversy surrounding him. He said that his statements have always been misconstrued and he lands into trouble.
According to Indian media reports, SRK said, “I never said India is intolerant. When I was asked about it, I said I wouldn’t like talking about it, but when they insisted, I had just said that the youth should concentrate on making this a secular, progressive country. It is just that people like to believe what they want to believe. Misconstruing my words might or might not suit a particular political agenda, but I am annoyed because I didn’t mean what is being portrayed. I am an actor and make films. This is enough of a job”.
“I am an icon because I can be what I am on screen. I would rather stick to that. I don’t enjoy spending three nights explaining to hairstylists that I didn’t mean to offend anyone by naming my film Barber. These things take away from my source of happiness. I must say I love talking. My experiences in life have been such that I can give away certain nice things. But then you can’t expect everyone to understand your way of thinking or even your sense of humour,” he added.
SRK faced severe heat by Indian politicians for his remarks over ‘intolerance’, but Khan remained silent throughout. However, when the chaos has finally ended, the superstar has come forward to clarify his statement.
Khan is currently busy promoting his upcoming movie ‘Dilwale’ with co-actors Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. The movie will hit theatres on December 18.
