‘Please leave me out of it’ says SRK on Incredible India debate

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whose film ‘Dilwale’ was recently affected by the ‘intolerance’ debate, has refused to comment on Aamir Khan no longer being the brand ambassador of Incredible India.

When asked to comment by reporters, Shah Rukh said “I don’t have anything to do with it: neither was I recruited nor was I let go. Please leave me out of it”

From his comments, it’s clear that Shah Rukh wants to avoid making controversial comments. More so when the media is known to misquote and blow things out of proportion.

Last week, Aamir Khan’s stint as the brand ambassador of Incredible India came to an end. His contract with the agency wasn’t renewed.

The actor had said “It has been an honour and a pleasure for me to be the Brand Ambassador for the Incredible India campaign for the past 10 years. I was happy to be of service to my country, and will always be available for it. I would like to clarify that all public service films I have done till date have all been free of any cost to me. It is always an honour for me to be of service of my country, and this is how it will always be.”

“It is the prerogative of the government to decide whether they need a brand ambassador for any campaign, and if so, who that ambassador should be. I respect the decision of the government to discontinue with my services. I am sure they will take all appropriate steps to do what is best for the country. Whether I am brand ambassador or not, India will remain Incredible, and that’s the way it should be”

  • srks big mistake interview with barka ndtv,
    srks big mistake clash with bajirao mastani
    srks big mistake climax of dilwale

  • Imagine if he says government should have continued Aamir Khan then some ppl will target him and start social networking campaign against him…and if he says government have done good by discontinuing Aamir and appointing Amitabh Bachchan then also ppl will start social networking campaign against him , so it is good not to speak on this topic…No one can afford that on movie release date some junks start protest in front of theaters to stop ppl from watching the movie..

  • Smart.. although he was misquoted and misunderstood for his intolerance comment, he saw the impact of it, what with dilwale underperforming big time. He doesn’t want the same to happen with fan and raees.

  • I hope srk stays away from all political and religious controversies !!!!!!!!
    I hope Fan and Raees doesn’t suffer from
    any controversies neither protests !!!!!
    waiting for Fan trailer.

  • Akshay’s statement on intolerence

    “India has always been known for its tolerance. We’ve always tried to keep peace but when attacks likethe one at Pathankothappen, you realise that the time has come to retaliate. Going by what you read in the social media, our youngsters are angry, they have taken this personally, and want India to attack too.”

  • Well..ab salman ke fan aayenge .kuch or kahani leke… Like their food never digest without dragging srk everywhere….. They have piles in their brain…. Plz guyz bahut hua… Kb tak rote rahoge

  • india is always incredible. …but media and some people are making it intolerant. …look in democratic country srk fears to make comment….that says all

  • Very well done Mr SRK.. & i request u to keep answering media the same way u did today…
    Or else they misquote and blow things out of proportion just to get better TRPs

  • now srk won’t drag himself in these matters.there r other things to do to b in limelight rather than these negative publicity.n media se na dosti achi na dushmani.

  • Indians don’t deserve intellectuals.
    They love speeches and interviews of sakshi maharaja,owaisi,adityanath etc.
    Therefore, good decision by shahrukh

  • @BeingAban.. no need to generalise about Indians. SRK is no intellectual. He’s just an actor. I would have had more respect for him if he said something about intolerance and stuck to it.

    He did a complete u-turn 2 days before movie release.. which hurt his image even more.

    Aamir was smart.. he knows he doesn’t have a release for 1 year and his comments will hurt SRK’s 3 movies..

    It’s Aamir’s comments that hurt SRK.. more than his own.

  • Wow!!!
    Now MEGASTARS & GLOBAL ICONS LIKE AAMIR & SRK are afraid to speak in public &
    Still we think INDIA has FREEDOM of SPEECH & EXPRESSION.
    One of MY Friend who dont know the diff. between NATIONAL ANTHEM & NATIONAL Song
    he told me
    Plz dont watch DILWALE & DANGAL bcoz we are TRUE INDIANS.
    BUT I watched DILWALE on First weekend itself & I’ll watch DANGAL on FDFS.
    Bec BEFORE JUDGING OTHERS We must look inside our hearts What we have done for our COUNTRY.
    (THIS IS FOR FEW HYPOCRITES WHO HAVE BEEN BASHING AAMIR & SRK from last 3-4 months )

  • @ abhay I have also read article Akki sir has given such wonderful statement on intolerance & also has given one crore to Chennai flood . But indicine has not posted any article on it . They only post khans article on intolerance . @ indicine please post well balance article .

    Guys What ur comments

    GUYS I’M A SRI LANKAN
    SO
    FINALLY I THINK
    ENTERTAINING WISE

    SALMAN KHAN IS NO 1

  • Pls stop nonsense yaar.
    Let s government decide this .
    India should think beyond these cheap stunts created by media .
    Amitabh , Amir , srk they all r actors n respected individuals n they all r representatives of our country n we love them for that.
    And where is d debate?
    Media people ps do some job beside creating dis unesessory n stupid things.

  • though stars too have a right to freedom of expression but they’re better off making positive statements/comments rather than negative ones…..

    something that both our dear Khans seem to have understood!

  • I had openly supported him during his 1st statement on Intolerance. But later he started chameleonGiri and made some U turnwale statements on intolerance then I started him disrespecting and bashing. Actually this chameleon does not deserve any kind of respect..

  • Tiger… better than killing innocent people on the footpath and claiming to be innocent. Better than a drunkard saying I drank water at the bar.

    And any day better than supporting Yakub Menon and doing u-turn next day.

  • SRK’s FAN will be another crap movie like Billu Barber and Shahrukh Bola Khobsurat Hai Tu where SRK has only special appearance.

    So RAEES this year will be the major movie of SRK which will also face a storm called SULTAN

    I think SRK’s career is over

  • @neeraj there is nothing about Aamir being smart, Aamir comment no doubt harm the Dilwale somehow but only because that srk also said about Intolerance and later his uturn from statement created more news later. There is no doubt that Aamir has been lucky as he had no release but I don’t think Aamir made those statement to harm srk & dilwale, because that statement harm the image of Aamir more which is more important than a box office collection of any film.
    Srk comment more responsible for Dilwale failure than Aamir’s one.Clear your mindset dude.
