‘How can I ever complain that there is intolerance to me?’ Shah Rukh Khan

Talking about his comments on ‘growing intolerance’ in the country, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has now said that he was never a victim of ‘intolerance’ and that he cannot ever complain that intolerance was shown towards him.

When SRK was asked to speak about Aamir Khan’s statement, Shah Rukh said “I can’t comment about anybody else, but I will say about myself. Even when I was giving that interview (to Rajdeep Sardesai), I was very clear that any of us (stars), irrespective of caste, religion, sex.. stars cannot complain about anything. We have received a lot from the nation.. so there is no reason to complain”

“Having said that, I don’t tell this to outsiders, but I tell my children.. if you want to progress, you have told let a few things out of your mind. You should think modern. Understand your work, try to understand people.. don’t decide and decipher on small issues like regionalism or religion”

“These are normal things, which everyone says.. but to take it out of context and say intolerance.. how can I ever complain that there is intolerance to me?” SRK said.

  • So SRK does a complete U-Turn on his statement.. just because people were threatening not to watch Dilwale?

    He said there is growing intolerance.. now he’s saying he can never complain of intolerance and he was quoted out of context. Both statements are contradictory.

  • srk &aamir always do cheapo stunt i remember my name is khan and ra one aamir did before releasing of fanna. and they did for publicity bcoz they know film is not up yo mark so need extra publicity latest example of that is prdp and last year’s hny akki doing publicity for singh is bling trust me this time dilwale will struggle to collect same amount of hny. we(gujarati & marathi) will boycott dilwale

  • Don’t know abt intolerance or tolerance, but SRK surely Iz an insecure and hypocrite man ..

    Wo kya hai na, chhor ke dadhi me tinka..

  • Media – Is intolerance rising
    srk: Yes
    Midia – Would you return your filmfare Award?
    srk – chal be …free ke nahi hai, paise se khareede hain mene rofl

  • Calm the hell down people.

    Why is everyone wasting time on this trivial intolerance issue? Who’ll focus serious issues like the next episode of Sasural Simar Ka?

  • What a startegie by King Kong the country who made him star backstabbed his own country in social media & other nations made fun of our incredible India and now just because of money he is u_turning from his words I think this is not MARDOBALI bat anyway king Kong u have made fun of our nation in social media which is not tolerable at all requests to all proud Indians as a Indian we will not support the guy who has made fun of our country

  • Akshay, Ajay, Salman, Aamir, Hrithik, Emran, Ranbir, Ranveer, Sidharth and others Fans please boycott Dilwale bcz srk fans always creates negativity against every actor’s movies

  • Srk had never categorically mentioned that there’s a growing intolerance because of the present government.At least in his interview with Rajdeep he had said we have been intolerant and the younger generations are becoming extremely intolerant unlike them.If you look at the interviews which he gave it was clearly visible that the interviewers had come with a clear agenda to make him speak about the issue and grab eyeballs
    I still can’t forgive Barkha for making a normal interview into a political one.Throughout the run of the interview one statement that there is a growing intolerance was appearing on the screen again and again
    @Neeraj lol..don’t tell me had he not made the statement people had planned to skip Dilwale.Even if they have decided not to watch the film this statement won’t change their minds.Srk stuck by his words even during MNIK controversy when he was threatened by a political party itself.

  • This statement doesn’t have any value now .
    It’s quite obvious he will say good things now to cover his earlier statements .
    Darrr gya dilwala ….!

  • @Monty
    Media – Is intolerance rising
    Salman: NO
    Midia – But your friend Aamir said there is intolerance
    Salman:Yaar..mera bail cancel karwane ka plan hai kya..lol

  • Rather than begging to fans of other actors to skip Srk’s movies you should have requested them to watch your favorite star’s movie which is struggling to cross the lifetime collections of 2013’s Srk movie

  • Haha srk even in earlier interview complained about the intolerance in general context.Everyone knows that this intolerance issue cant hurt any celebrity,so is srk saying that there is no intolerance to me.But intolerance in towards powerless people of country is growing.

  • srk had said the following:

    “There is intolerance, there is extreme intolerance… there is, I think… there is growing intolerance.”

    It seems he has made a u turn as his film if up for release. Honestly, I dont see anything wrong with that. I would do that the same. So much money is at stake and one does not want unnecessary blown out of proportion controversies!

    Just that he and aamir should have been careful before making the comments. People are not fools to not realise when srk or anyone retracts from their statement.

    Anyway, not watching Dilwale anyway is stupid. The film should run on merit and not suffer or benefit due to an over blown controversy!
