BJP government has not targeted me, notice was issued in 2010: Shah Rukh Khan

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.

  • SRK talk double standard as always first he said. there is intolerance in the country later on he said how come I said no intolerance in the country when ED questioning him no response from him now his movie is releasing he said gov is not targeted him actually he fear that some BJP supporter might ban the movie in some areas.

  • Indicine- what is your obsession with every SRK related news.
    “SRK had bath twice yesterday and did not had even once today”, pls publish news on this as well.
    @SRK fans my comment has nothing to do with SRK but Indicine.

  • Why some people are talking about braveness?
    He said that BJP is not targeting him. So, what is the braveness in that?
    If he had said that yes, they are targeting me then it would be a brave statement.

  • People who are bashing him even for this are really out of the world. Question to you all? What answer did you expect from him? To say, ‘yes I’m being targeted’ so you can all once again start saying this case was there for all along and look at the crocodile tears from him, this and that. Not sure where is the double std here when he answers exactly to the point.

    You guys are literally out of mind . I thought you all belong to some fandom but looks like you like other stars just because you have to hate SRK. In fact I can’t even call this as hatred because you guys are actually amazing to keep him in mind always and drag him multiple times in all articles related to other stars consistently .

    More than us, it is you guys who are simply suffering from SRK syndrome and unable to get out of it.

  • @idiotzine:
    Yes I was supporting the TAX CHOR during his 1st statement and bashed great BJP leaders (acc to u) like Yogi Adityanath, Prachi Sadhwi etc. But I have realised that I did a big mistake by supporting the chameleon. The chameleon tax chor does not deserve my support at all. Each day he change his colour.

    You have already started giving excuses like Hindu mahasabha, RSS etc for Dilwale failure….LOL.

    And TAX CHOR did not represent the whole India in US airport. He might represented his buddy Hafiz saeed and Pakistan there. That’s why that incident happened to him…

  • @TIGER, 100% true, srk is indeed a chameleon, he knows that his Dildos wale is clashing wirh SLB’s masterpiece so to save the film he has suddenly changed his color.
