Bollywood
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said
that he will not take back his words
on supporting Pakistani cricketers
in the IPL 3 auction.
SRK earlier said that leaving Pakistani
cricketers in the IPL is unfortunate
and he also added that he had Abdul
Razzaq in his mind to pick him in
the auction.
Shiv Sena criticized this and said
that they will not allow SRK’s
movie ‘My name is Khan’
to run in Mumbai’s multiplexes.
"(I) would not apologise. I said
what I believe in as an Indian. I
haven't said anything personally against
anyone. I would apologise to my director,
co-stars, business partners if because
of me, the film is affected. It's
really sad, makes me rethink. I have
apolgoised in the past if my film
has caused offence - to hairstylists
for Barber.But here, what am I supposed
to apologise for? It's just very sad"—he
said.
SRK has made it clear that even though
he is a proud Indian he cannot criticize
people from other countries.
"I think what I said is true
of any person from any nation from
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, America,
England. That's how I think we've
all been brought up. You say 'ok,
my country is nice, I'm very proud
of it, I'm very proud to have been
born there and I wish a lot of people
come to my country and participate
in the goodness of my country.' If
that is wrong then I think I need
to relook (sic) at what my children
are studying right now. I need to
even ask people who think the statement
is wrong 'do they have an issue with
the schools their children are going
to?'Because that's what they are being
taught also," he said.
