Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said he is not being targeted by the government after summons were issued on him by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) over alleged undervaluation of shares of his co-owned IPL cricket team, Kolkata Knight Riders.
The actor said the legal case is being processed at its own speed and people should not see anything “illegal” in it.
When asked during an interview with ETV channel about a political party alleging that ED is targeting him, Shah Rukh said: “It’s nothing.”
He added: “The notice was issued in 2010. And it is 2015 now. This government was not in power at that time. No need to say that I am targeted. Everything is happening under normal legal course and I reply in normal legal course.”
The “Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani” star noted that “there is no illegal thing. Those who don’t know that the notice was issued in 2010, they are the only ones who are saying these things”.
The ED is investigating whether the shares of the team were allegedly undervalued as it could be violative of the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
Earlier, the ED had served a notice to Shah Rukh in May this year, but the actor did not appear before the agency.
Prior to that, Shah Rukh was quizzed in 2011 for allegations that KKR had received illegal money transferred from certain tax havens abroad.
Why is the starting sentence of paragraph 5 “The side actor of Phir Bhi Dil Hai Pakistani” and not “The Lead Star of KOYLA”….??
Deshdrohi Khan is also a tax dodger n fraudulent manipulator/ accountant
Seems to me that our Deshdrohi Khan is increasingly intolerant of our nations rules n guidelines…!
First he violated US airport guidelines then Wankhede and now this…!
Waiting for bajirao mastani
not intrstd in garbagewaale
The more this man showcases his intolerance for the status quo the more ppl will become less tolerant of his nautanki…!
Suspend this issue till post Dilwale release pls. Makes no difference
I am expecting him to be targeted by BJP at the time of Raees release!
Is there no law that this intolerant man hasnt shown intolerance too…?
Airport rules- he cant tolerate…!
Surrogacy rules- he violated…!
Stadium rules- he treated like his house…!
Now this latest episode
@shaggy, i think u will never learn ….
u don’t know a shit about the case … why do u pass judgment without knowing the situation bloody loser ???!!?!?
This hypocrite said India was intolerant to her but if one is this intolerant to the countrys laws then is there any wonder we the public are becoming increasingly intolerant of this dramebaazi….
I wonder if all she did all those yrs she was so called overseas Queen was just visit tax havens….?
Aamir n Bhai went overseas to set up 200cr n 300cr clubs whilst our Queen spent 2 decades overseas setting up tax dodging schemes in Switzerland…!

King Khan always on spot lights good or bad loyalist like me will be always there for him. Nonsense charges.!
Thts why I can hate this man..
These feet licking of BJP & changing colours won’t help his varunwale to become Hittt!!!
He is totally into defensive character and trying hard to avoid any impact on Dilwale from his recent antics but damage is already done. Your roller coaster attitude will not help and have already many people who are pledging to avoid Bhuddha-Bhuddhi waale !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@xzone : You are right !!! It is a slap on his fans who blindly supports his ever changing words !!!!!!!!! Chuha coward who changed his words !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Aman : Looks like you are on weed !!!!!!!
@xzone……well done….keep posting 5000 comments on every article related to SRK…….One day he might give you a chance in his future films……good for you…
I could not stop laughing after judging the mentality of these fans……
Ha ha ha… No matter what you do Garagewaale wont cross 200 crores…
You have made a U Turn from your earlier statements just for the film..Tax Chor…Paani Chor… Deshrohi khan………..
Question how come he has not come out and admit that ED is not only investigating undervalued share KKK but they are looking into the recent purchase of T&T Red Steels to determine the methods used for tax evasion and money laundering. All that he has done in the dark will come out in light. They are going to scrutinize every donations. He should have stuck with his comments and not deceitfully make the uturn now how can you trust his word. Your words should be your bond but he speaks with forked town. He knows what he has said has not gone down lightly. As I always say you can fool some of the people sometimes but you can’t fool them all the time.
Apology should read tongue
SRK is the best, such a great personality ! No matter what haters do, he rules !
Love SRK . My whole appartment has organised various measures for Chennai relief measures (almost around 700 family + community ) . At the end, when they all wanted to take a credit for a very much deserved relaxation/ entertainment, unanimously has opted to watch dilwale. So our society is planning for great outing. Very exited abt it.
SRK.. we love you..
@Chuhe 09:45 pm : No body is as bigger chameleon as you chuhe. First, you backed up SRK and criticised BJP as well as few Hindu extremists. But very next day, you shown your true color quoiting few of BJP leaders calling SRK as “Deshdrohi”.
So don’t talk about others. You are the biggest chameleon and hypocrite on this site.
@Shameless Shaggy 09:50 pm : Shut up you shameless moron. No body wants to listen your blabbering when you don’t value your own words.
@SK 10:02 pm : Things will be unchanged even after this controversy. I, myself, support Modi till the core, that doesn’t mean , I’ll disassociate myself from SRK or his statements. What he said , was wrong but his intention was not bad. And that is well understood by me and many others.
So few extremists like Hindu Mahasabha etc may call a boycott, but that won’t impact Dilwale in a long run(except denting the opening day or opening weekend collections a bit).
@Aunt 10:08 pm : When he was detained at US airport, he was representing whole India and by mocking that incident, you are proving yourself the biggest deshdrohi. And What airport guidelines you are talking about, you ugly creature. Come out from boriwali, then you will understand what and all guidelines you will have to follow, when you fly to overseas.
@10:17 pm : “Bhai went overseas” ?? Really? There is a difference between “Bhai went overseas” and his “Movies went overseas” , because your bhabhijan is not allowed to visit overseas due to his black past Lol. So grotesque faced aunt, stop twisting the facts.
@Hrithik 01:04 am : I guess, the treatment which I gave you in last 2-3 weeks are not strong enough and I should start that once again. Because again that typical nonsensical behaviour is visible in your comments. You idiot, when did he change his statement in this context? Did he ever said that BJP leaders are targeting him? If yes, show me a single reference, else I’ll assume that you are equally coward as your criminal khan who pleads a set of lawyers in order to prove himself innocent. Yuk!!
@ xzone a very well said but one of them also bash Srk at only once . But after this clarify his statement I like him . But some fan now bashing Srk . Ye log sirf Bjp ko criticize karna chahte hai . Respect Srk .
