vIndianz.com ( 5 Feb, 2010) — London Unfazed by Shiv Sena’s attack on him, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan had a dig at the party and stuck to his stand of pitching for inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in Indian Premier League.
“I don’t know what the issue is all about … I don’t know what I am supposed to retract. Am I supposed to retract the fact I’m an Indian but I don’t want anyone to come to my country,” Khan said referring to sharp reaction from Sena on his remarks about the inclusion of Pakistani cricketers on the IPL tournament.
“What all that I’ve said is that I would like people to come to my country to participate in the biggest event and it scarce me to say anything because our stakes are very high,” he said.
He was apologetic to his business partners for his stand on the IPL issue as it might affect the prospect of the film.
Shah Rukh is in London to promote his film ‘My name is Khan’ and was speaking amid the presence of Karan Johar, producer and director of the film and his co-star Kajol.
“I have no idea what people would like me to say. If somebody could tell me this is what you would want me to say, I’ll say it,” the Bollywood superstar said.
Khan recalled the teaching’s and values that he received from his father who was a freedom fighter.
“What all I have been taught by my father who was a freedom fighter for this country is wrong and my kids are steering wrong,” he said. Khan said he is not going to submit to this threat.
“It’s not a stand or a statement against anyone. It’s actually a sort of what I individually feel and normally when a film is releasing-to be really honest and I wouldn’t comment on it on a larger scale because it’s not nice when a Hindi film hero who is thought of as an icon, to say this,” Khan said.
“I am really sorry. I would like to apologise Karan Johar, to Kajol and I am immensely sorry to all our business partners that because of what I said, or what I believe in, their film and their work is going to be affected,” SRK was quoted as saying in Press Trust of India.
