Mumbai: “I was being bullied. I was angry, but I was not drunk,” superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said, finally speaking about last night’s incident at the Wankhade stadium. He says he is owed an apology. The actor has been banned from the stadium by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), which has also filed a police complaint accusing him of being drunk and misbehaving, abusing, manhandling, using filthy language against guards and abusing a woman. Shah Rukh says his children were “physically manhandled in the name of security,” and he will file a written complaint against the MCA, which, he says, needs a lesson in polite behavior.

Shah Rukh Khan said he had not attended the match, in which his IPL team the Kolkata Knight Riders beat the Mumbai Indians. He recounted that he only went to the stadium to pick up his children and saw that stadium officials “were pushing, touching little girls, and that is unpardonable.” He has also denied that he abused a woman fan.

The popular actor was dismissive about the MCA’s ban saying “I would not like to go to a stadium where people are so rude.” Shah Rukh admitted he had used abusive language but said it was provoked. “I took little children for the match and 40 grown-up people came charging aggressively at me,” he said. “I think my behavior is absolutely correct. I would still do the same thing if they misbehaved with my kids or kids that I am taking care of,” the actor said.

The MCA, which administers the Wankhade stadium, has alleged that the actor tried to force his way onto the grounds after the match and when he was prevented from doing so, got abusive and pushed people.

Central minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, who heads the MCA, said, “I was told he used abusive language…they tried to pacify him but he wasn’t in the mood,” said In Delhi, Rajiv Shukla, the chairman of the IPL said that reports of a ban are incorrect. He said a decision has yet to be taken, and that the version of “the franchisee” will also be considered. There are no other matches scheduled for his team at the Wankhede Stadium for the rest of the tournament.

The Mumbai Police say they are verifying facts in the complaint that the MCA has filed against Shah Rukh Khan, the Morani brothers and others. ACP Iqbal Sheikh, Assistant Commissioner of Police, said the actor, who smelt of alcohol, seemed to have taken umbrage at some members of his entourage being told not to be on the ground. He also said that smelling of alcohol was not an offence and he was sure the actor had not been drinking at the stadium.

The top cop said he arrived at the site of the scuffle late and had whisked away the actor to defuse the situation. Shah Rukh, he said, was shouting abuses as he was pulled away. “There was a heated argument…only foul language was used,” the cop said.

The police said they are trying to trace witnesses to piece together the incident as it happened. They would call the actor in only if required, ACP Iqbal said.

The MCA is holding its ground. “We have decided to ban him for life from entering the stadium in future,” MCA treasurer Ravi Savant said, adding “SRK was dead drunk, our security tried to stop him but he pushed him and abused in such filthy language that I cannot use it here.”

Mr Savant said after KKR’s 32-run rout of the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, Shah Rukh and his posse of bodyguards went up to the teams’ dressing room and then came down and tried to go on to the ground.

The actor has been caught in controversy before when he was seen smoking on April 8 at the Sawai Man Singh in Jaipur much to the disapproval of many. This is also the second brawl that the actor has allegedly been involved in in recent times. Some months ago he was reported to have got into a scuffle with Shirish Kunder, the husband of director Farah Khan at a private party hosted by Sanjay Dutt in Mumbai.

The Shah Rukh controversy also comes very soon after the cash-rich T-20 tournament was rocked by a sting operation conducted by a TV news channel, in which five IPL players were purportedly caught on camera indulging in spot-fixing and other “murky deals.” A BCCI inquiry into that will begin today. Ravi Sawani, who heads the BCCI’s anti-corruption unit will conduct the inquiry.

The five accused players have been suspended pending the inquiry report.

Hey, didn't something like this happen to Shahid Khan Afridi too?

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

Nope. Afridi was beating up fans.

SRK was misbehaving with OFFICIALS. F u SRK. Get out of here. Go sing and run around a tree.

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

This is the problem with celebrities in 3rd world country. They are so used to be pampered that they think they are above the law. Salute to unknown police dude... Your whistle is kool man. I love this picture.

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

Could not agree with you more. This is a huge problem. I remember one incident when Sidhu beat up a person who was manning a toll booth just because the person asked him for the toll or to show the MP pass. These celebrities should be taught a lesson. An example should be made out of SRK. He should be arrested and sent to jail for creating a nuisance and made to pay a huge fine.

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

^^

It is sad that this incident will be brushed under the carpet. Worst case the security guards might be suspended too.

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

SRK did what was right .....The security didnt allowed him to enter the ground.

and meanwhile he was protecting his gal suhana

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

excuse me?was he allowed to enter the ground at the first place? is he an official or a player? and why are we bringing kids into this **** nowadays....to play with people's emotions i guess....

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

I cant make upnmy mind abut Shahruk Khan. He was a decent guy in kabhi khushi kabhir gum but he has been a mean spirited villain early in his career.

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

well what i saw in his press conference was that he went to the ground to take his kids and their friends and they were playing with a ball,they weren't playing on the pitch but a security guard physically pushed the girls and when he told him not to push their whole gang came aggressively towards him and started fighting.The kids werent doing anything illegal and the security guards pushed them and started abusing SRK when he told them not to push so how does this make SRK guilty and not the GUARDS guys?

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

did you listen to guards version as well cute-sponge!

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

by the way before you get angry at me, i just noticed that we both joined gupshup the exact same day.....so in that spirit, I completely agree with whatever cute-sponge says on this website...shahrukh is mahan and an angel...guards were probably balak of bal thakrey ... or hafiz saeed!

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

phoenixdesi:Can u please post guards' video here.I would really appreciate and no I wont get angry I dont wanna be biased here.

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

^amazing Stat!

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

i dont know if you are too young to remember this, but sidhu once killed a guy for hitting his car. a lot of these celebs are out of control.

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

I dare say this is a worldwide phenomenon and not merely confined to desis or to even celebrities. Celebrities have tremendous power to influence the public, and sadly, most celebrities incl. sportsmen abuse that power. Infact most people in privileged positions abuse their power. This is the sad truth of life

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

I have a slightly different perspective on this whole mess. I have been lucky enough to spend alot of time with various Bollywood celebrities over the years(including SRK, he had lunch with our family at my nani’s house, he wanted authentic Hyderabadi khana). My uncle was a concert promoter from 1992-2006, and and our family has forged close bonds with some big name families including the Morani Brothers and the Nadiadwalas. I have seen up front some very shady behavior from some big name stars and I can tell you that SRK is a pompous jack arse in real life. Bollywood is very nitty gritty and deceiving, and all that glitters is not gold. :chai:

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

and one of the morani brothers is currently enjoying his stay in jail for his part in a govt money scam. :hehe: bollywood is built on the back of black money and shadiness.

Re: I got angry when they manhandled children: Shah Rukh Khan on Wankhede Stadium bra

Could not agree more. And yes, Karim Morani is a sleaze bag…in more ways than one.
