First, it was his comment on “religious tolerance” in the country, and now Maharashtra Navnirman Sena has demanded a boycott of his film “Dilwale”. Controversies rarely leave Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, but he says they have no effect on his name or fame.
“People need a chance to express themselves and then they use public figures… People stand on the shoulders of public figures to say what they want to. It’s a small thing, but then we have to sit and justify and explain that we are patriotic and nationalist,” Shah Rukh said.
The 50-year-old spoke when he was asked to comment on the controversies surrounding him, at a press meet on a sunny afternoon here on Wednesday.
Earlier last month, the actor faced a backlash for his comment on rising intolerance, which, he said, “would take India to the Dark Ages.”
BJP MP Yogi Adityanath compared SRK’s “language” to that of militant leader Hafiz Saeed, whereas VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi called him an “agent” of Pakistan.
He shared that several years ago he was told by a well-wisher that the day he earns fame, he will be at a greater risk of landing in controversies.
“I have a name since a lot of years now, Mashallah, and now it (controversy) happens every week or month… It’s strange that mostly it happens around the release of a film. There are opportunist people,” he said.
Nevertheless, his over 25 years of experience as an actor has taught him one lesson.
“I get so much love from people…. I understand that these things don’t have any effect… Neither on us, our film, name or work.”
SRK was here with Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon to promote “Dilwale”, which is releasing on Friday.

diwale life tym collection in india is around 230 to 250cr n world wide it will b 400 to 450 cr mark my word
@Sush: SRK doesn’t need a story to drive audience. His acting and charm is enough
Raj Thakre is my second favorite politicians after Modi . But I don’t think this kind publicity won’t effect on Dilwale .
The Man Who Make Indians Proud One And Only The King SRK Respect!
All the controversies are created by himself to free publicity. Shame on the attention seeker tax CHOR…!!!
Now srKAY wil spend 10+ crores frm his pocket…to dulwaale day 1 collctn
Mr tax CHOR create controversies how much you can!!! But these all won’t help your varunwale to go past 200cr mark..
Tis christmas is all abt
Love story of a warrior
Bajirao Mastani

5)Ur Favrt Over Actor
@Sushmita 06:21 pm : Where did you get this story? You were acting as waiter in Dilwale premiere?
@Indicine : Please don’t allow such comments as there is no particular backing of the same and it might give a wrong message to readers.
@06:25 pm : And you are a true Indian? How?
@Shameless Shaggy 06:30 pm : Ohh really? Which was the last Hollywood movie you watched Bhojpuri? And being a fan, you don’t have any rights to call SRK as deshdrohi.
@Kane 06:31 pm : don’t even go near the theatres where Dilwale is being screened. They will kick you out considering you a ticket blacker.
@legend amir khan,I known you’re not a family man like your idol and believe in torturing,divorcing women.
I even knew you abused KING SRK,but what does indicates—-Kajol’s room partner?don’t you have a bit respect for KAJOL mam?being the wife of your another favourite koyla?bloody characterless abusing against KING KHAN can be tolerant but what KAJOL mam did with you ,if somebody says similarly about your Mother/Sister(though WE respect them)?could you tolerate?at least respect women and grow up.
And everybody knew about your characterless idol ,shut the hell of your ugly mouth.
Due to peoples like you this country’s degradation is continuing.at least don’t put stains on the character of any women,it’s a sincere kind request from my side,for the 1st time I’m requesting to a classless amir fan as I couldn’t tolerate this.
SRK and Kajol gets married in the end of the movie
Indeed !!!! It is very very strange how your PR managed to relate your movies with controversies. One can easily say it is all work of PR, reality check:
* MNIK : Airport detention in US and MNS protest
* JTHJ : An unfortunate demise and a clash (this may be a true co-incidence and not work of PR)
* Ra-One : No controversies may be that could be the reason why it under performed.
* Don 2 – Again low profile and a below expectation result. Supposed to be the most awaited sequel.
* CE : Dam water stealing controversy, OUATIMD clash and later begging Jeetu sir and manipulating his own words
HNY : Faking action injury by plastic door and Jaya bacchan remarks. SRK even called Amar Akbar Anthony a nonsensical film comparing with this crap HNY !!!!!!!
And now for Dilwale intolerance comments and doing a pherki to save his @ss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Akki confirmed for robot 2 .
Will play villain against rajni sir ..he tweeted .
So excited.
Khans fans ki fategii ab
Crying babyyyy… You have started it. Why are you crying foul now?? Suffer when your garagewaale mechanics will be boycotted.
No doubt huge fan following of srk will pull his fans the first weekend to the theaters to secure good collections, however, fans of other actors, I believe, will only watch this movie in TV that will slow down its collections hugely from Monday. This will boost other actors confidence to take the challenge against srk. To start with, this can be extremely beneficial to salman when srk-salman clash next year. Let’s see whether fans of ajay sir, akshya sir, aamir sir, hritik sirs, and more importantly sallu bhai will reject to watch this movie in theaters.
@Suman, your 2 rs threats won’t work. srk and rohit combo will bring storm at the BO. it will cross 230 cr even in worst case. srk’s fan base is more than combined fans of all other stars. due to extremely poor choices his movies have not been up to the mark but he is still consistent and dilwale will be blockbuster even in the worst case. its my open challenge.
Spoiler: Dilwale doesn’t have an interval, it has a 10 mins video of SRK promoting second half of his movie Dilwale. hahahahah
@hrithik,that means you admitted if those controversies wouldn’t have happened then your takla idol’s career would have finished.thanks for your confirmation and understanding except CE during when no controversy happened despite IT faced 3 big films.
you proved KING SRKIS THE ONLY WHO CAN GIVE SUCCESS EVEN against facing hardest hurdles.this is not the job of papa’s pappus like salman/amir needs 3-4 weeks free run to achieve something.
KING KHAN’S NAME IS ENOUGH.
And your takla star’s @ss can’t be saved even in Republic holiday as well in a BIG DEEWALI,record less khan always suffers and struggles,3 big flops in last 5 -6 years even doing masala genre/south remakes.tell papppu(takla khan) to retire now,ROFL.
KING KHAN RULES BOLLYWOOD.
@sss : you & your haklu has been getting consistent slaps every year since 2008 the biggest came last Diwali when your Charlie failed to bring 300 crs storm and the bigger this year with BB n PRDP collecting more than 1000 crs ww that too in span of 4 months. I still see marks on your face, get well soon !!!!
#charlie ki Marlie !!!!
@hrithik,prdp—-194(according to boi)—-if lallutards believe boi.that means it is a 100cr grossser,only.
If not believes boi then still KING KHAN’S OPENING IS STILL SAFE NOW.
kindly take one decission now,ROFL.
#CHARLIE prem ki kehke leli.(why because 4 holidays+extra screens+90’s biggest bhojpuri takla jodi,still CHARLIE screwed takla’s back,so sad).
Unfortunately but yeah 90’s biggestoversansakari jodi failed to give a hit with out anh controversy.so much unlimited fun,doob marnewali situation,ROFL.
Where is the 90’s biggest takla star had to come with 400cr domestic storm with 1000-1500cr and 50+cr opening?all of them gone fussss…..dikh gayi auakt?
Finally Harshali+Kabir showed aukat of lallu and proved lallu as the supporting lead to Harshali.
The non actor who is hiding behind a Child artist as well as south remakes is aukatless just like why he still now unmarried and giving charity at court to lawyers,ROFL.
What slap you’re talking about?????from 2008 ,there is nost even single flop/average given by KING KHAN,and you’re comparing it as eating slaps.
Then kindly tell how will you compare lallu got flops after flops and disaster after disaster with kicks+punches+screwed his back+whatever punishment that can be afforded,right?????
What about takla struggled for the epic 15 years —-1994-2009 single hgoty of his own?what about his record less status in current situation?,ROFL.
And what 1000cr you’re talking about ?if KING KHAN would have taken both TGE FESTIVE SEASON then sky could have the limit.but takla khan ruined DEEWALI ,then you suddenly jumped to we collection +total collection blah blah,ROFL.
Now talk about verdict of prdp?which you have challenged no one can stop it to become blockbuster?
Ek DEEWALI aukat dikha di takle ki.now you got how hard is it to give even A HIT DEEWALI that you made of KING SRK films?
while KING KHAN once entered EID,ALL RECORDS shattered overnight.
still HNY is the biggest HIT OF DEEWALI and if RAEES will be a solo release then with in 3 week pk’s record will be shattered.
so talk things with logic taklutards,oops I forgot you’re brainless,so expecting that from you is completely waste of time,ROFL.
@sss, great going brother, keep rocking. You are the best srkian. You literally nailed their towels. BY the way I want to tell you some really hilarious news. Please watch the trailer of kya kool hai hum 3, in which our bhai id badly trolled. He and his boring soap opera director suraj barjatya both are trolled badly by a tushar kapoor. Ha ha ha. Bhai ki aukaat dikh gayi. Any ways, what’s you take in our bhai if south remake wouldn’t have been there? Would he also be doing same kind of films as tusshar kapoor. Oops. Sorry, even tushar kapoor was bigger than our bhai in last decade. LOL.
@Rice Mice wala : Salman trolled SRK long ago in Partner with ‘ Chota Don’ Remembered ??
@sss : The same BOI have listed HNY’s opening collections as 36 crs and life time as 176 crs. In both ways PRDP have smashed Charlie ki HNY (both opening and Lifetime). You just trolled yourself by mentioning BOI.
# CharliekiMarlie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@hrithik, are you talking about the same partner film in which even govinda also overshadowed bhai who was struggling to get a solo hit in the entire last decade? the eternal truth is, partner was superhit only because of govinda as most audience went to watch it for govinda, because in the same year bhau gave 2 disasters like marigold and salam e ishq. really, hatts off to salman, how was he be able to give disasters back to back consistently for a decade? really harman baweja and tushar kapoor can learn from bhai as they are also way behind bhai in terms of flops and disasters. and srk has trolled salman’s whole career by beating him every time not only in acting but in popularity, success, clash everywhere. so salman just showed his frustration in partner but people laughed at salman’s childish insecure tactics, because after partner bhai again trolled badly by giving back to back disasters like yuvraj, mrs. khanna, heroes and london dreams. so think about that.
