Shahrukh Khan apologised to Shiv Sena

Bollywood Baadshah risked his film My Name is Khan by refusing to apologies to the Shiv Sena, who came down heavily on him for supporting the inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in the IPL. After keeping silent for a while, he has spoken out his mind again.
Shahrukh Khan said that he would have apologized to the Shiv Sena if it was for the content of his film, as he had done so before because his aim is to consider people and not to offend them. However, he chose not to apologise this time around, as the issue was about the person he is and his Indianness.

It maybe recalled that a political outfit, mostly the Shiv Sena, vulnerable to ban the release of My Name is Khan if Shahrukh didn't apologies for his comment on the enclosure of Pakistan cricketers in the IPL. However, they finally allowed diplomatic release of the film.

Shahrukh Khan throws a challenge to Shiv Sena

Even as the publicity around My Name is Khan was crowd power, all torture broke loose after Shahrukh Khan, who plays the lead role in the film, spoke in support of the Pakistani cricketers at the IPL, and for his declaration that Mumbai is for all Indians. The Shiv Sena found it too much to take.

Following the threat of the Shiv Sena to either take back his words and apologies or face the penalty of prohibition his films in Mumbai, Shahrukh has turned very vocal about his view instead of being controlled by their danger. In fact, the superstar has thrown a challenge to the Shiv Sena.


Shahrukh knows very well that his forthcoming release is at stake but he also knows that he had said nothing wrong. What he finds hard to appreciate is why his film should be barred for his statements, as the future of lots of people rides on the film. He said that the Shiv Sena should not take their anger against the film.

Shahrukh went on to say that if they have an issue with him, they should sort it out with him and talk about his philosophy rather than aggressive to ban his film, which has nothing to do with what he said. He added that My Name is Khan is not only his film but belongs to Kajol and Karan Johar and 150 other people.

However, he is encouraged that the Shiv Sena will let the film release quietly as planned and hope people like it.
