It was a great controversy when Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan had said some weeks back that intolerance is getting bigger and bigger in India and his opinion was regarded as a statement that indirectly points towards the Narendra Modi Government. He was severely criticized by many in that issue and also there were people who supported him as well. BJP and other Hindu religious organizations went against him and people like Sadhwi Prachi even said that Sharukh Khan have to go to Pakistan if his mind is not with India.
Some other said that with his comments he insulted our country as well. At that time Shahrukh Khan replied that he is an Indian Citizen and the freedom that we are enjoying now is got by the result of the sacrifice of his ancestors as well. But now Shahrukh Khan had sought apology for his comment about intolerance in India that he made.
Shahrukh Khan had said this during an interview to a popular national Media. His latest film Dilwale directed by Rohit Shetty is releasing this Friday and many Hindu organization is already came against the film saying that they will boycott his films and also urging people to boycott it as well. Maharashtra Nirmann Sena had supported this boycott in Maharashtra as well. That may be the reason why Shahrukh Khan now come in front and said sorry for his comment. He may be hoping that it will calm down the ruling party as well as Hindu religious organizations like Vishwa Hindu Parishat.
Shahrukh Khan said that if anyone is hurt by his words, then he is seeking apology from them. He said that he never had to experience intolerance from anyone in India till now and he also said that he never said that he faced intolerance as well. He added that people may think that now he is making this apology because his film is releasing. But the fact is that he is doing this not because of that but from the feel that his words may be hurt some others feeling.
