People call me Gadha: Shah Rukh Khan
Says Shah Rukh Khan as he reacts to former skipper Nasser Hussain’s controversial comments on Indian players.
Shah Rukh Khan was launched as the face of Champions League T20 today at a suburban five star hotel in Mumbai. The actor sported his pony tailed Don 2 look. He even launched the winner’s trophy. The superstar came good two hours late but made up for his delay by answering pretty much everything that bordered on the lines of controversy. From Gautam Gambhir’s injury to his take on domestic v/s national cricket...the actor even reacted to Nasser Hussain addressing few Indian players as donkeys! “I don’t want to bediplomatic but we shouldn’t let this statement affect the relationsbetween England and India. We should treat this in a humorous way. The Britshave their own way of reacting to situations. It may not make sense but whenDonkeys become Gadha, it sounds different. We have had a disappointing series inEngland but we should stand by our players. Our players are blamed irresponsiblefor rendering dismal performances even in our country when I know every playerplays to win. No player plays to lose. They have a jazba (spirit) which shouldnot be questioned. I consider even that as offensive as even we do it. The onlyway we can fight back is by playing better Cricket” said Shah Rukh Khan.The actor in his signature style added, “People call me gadha!They do. But sher toh sher hi hota hai (People may call me a donkey too but alion is a lion).
