Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

Shahrukh Khan has had it with Amar Singh and his cronies who were seen protesting outside his house. Here SRK speaks to the press and makes his disdain quite apparent! Another reason why I admire the gutsy Khan!

On The Whole Amar Singh Controversy:
"My eight-year-old son (Aryan) wasn’t crying, but he was made to stay in the house just in case someone decided to throw something or scream abuses. That scares me to the extent of not having any fear at all."

"If you scare me by saying that you will harm me, I will be scared, because if I die, who will look after my kids? But if you threaten my children, I will not be in self preservation mode. "

"My wife will be very scared when she reads what I am about to say, but if I’d been there… if I’d reached before the cops cleared the protesters… I would have made them all cry for making my daughter cry. And that’s the promise of a Pathan."

"I would not have spared them. You don’t make my children cry. If you have a problem, talk to me. I know where that crowd came from, but now I am being told that Amar Singh did not send them."

"Twenty fans of his came from all over India to protest. It’s okay. Maybe he didn’t send them. I’d like to give him the benefit of doubt because I never lie, so I assume that no one else would either. But don’t you scare my harmless kids."

On Amar Singh Stating That He Would Humiliate SRK:
"Let me just say that it is not in my nature to humiliate anyone. I have never done that. I am too educated, too apolitical and too courteous. You know, in all comic acts, the guys sitting in the front row get picked on."

"Come on, it’s a joke and one should not try to make it more serious. There are a lot more serious issues that the association of 20 people who came to my house can look into rather than scare my daughter."

"I take that very personally. And I am not even the kind of guy who expects an apology for this. It depends how I feel the next time. Just remember, I am a demented Pathan."

On Facing Amar Singh :
"Amar Singh said somewhere that ‘Shah Rukh makes jokes publicly and apologizes privately.I have privately apologized to no one. I would apologize publicly if I felt I had done something wrong. The only thing I do privately is meet friends. I find that whole drama outside my house a little over-the-top, and there are a lot of stories about why it happened.It could be because elections were on, the publicity factor, whatever,so they did it as my cost. It’s okay. I am a public figure. People use me for everything. You can use me too. "
