What nonsense is this! King Khan doesn't surrender to anyone! nor bow for that matter, He is The King and will forever remain so. a title that was bestowed upon him by his loving fans and perhaps only them has the right to change that which will never happen because unlike you former Canadian minister of health, we know him well.
Of Course we all know the origin of this whole thing after the shameful Uri Attacks that left the Indian heart as well as ours bleeding and it is a government decision to ban Pakistani actors from working in Bollywood movies or even to cross the border, anyone who opposes that will be in legal troubles. Not you or anyone would put his reputation and business going down that lane. Not a question of kingship here,but of wisdom. Millions are invested in Bollywood films, not only profits but thousands of families of workers and crew members depending on these two giant production houses you mentioned be it Dharma or Red Chillies entertainment. what did you want them to do?
it would've been more apt in my point of view if you dedicated your hot pen and full pride to the government officials and ask them to retrieve this ban and exclude Art from politics. keep it a free bird as it is the case in Canada where you live or the countries you can talk about.
King Khan did not succumb to hate or evil, you will never fit in his shoes, so don't try to imagine how it feels like. In fact He did the most Heroic and noble act ever that you probably won't have the guts to do had you been given the chance.
SRK doesn't interfere in the choice of his cast in any film. It is solely Director choice according to the story so it was not his choice. Mahira Khan is a great actress and her being Pakistani has nothing to do with that! just like your being a Health minister in a Canadian government that has nothing to do with you being Indian. Art is Her only Passport the way it should be. And king Khan trying to patch up some old cracks in this sad world in his own little way! tried to bring a once one thread closer. but you people don't get it! you don't get him! His own people! it's really painful. He knows it's thorny yet he chosen to bleed for a better future.
It was a moment of absolute power. of courage and bravery! the desire to save millions be it workers or the smiles of people who will enjoy this work. and yes He transforms from a king to a beggar for those smiles, for that priceless love of billions, He is the beggar of seeking love only and its mercy.
King Khan is the voice of truth. The One Proud Indian who brings India to the universal spotlight everyday just as he wakes up and breathes this air. He is the Idol of billions youngsters and the beloved of all adults and the heartbeat of us women all over the world. if love to have a face it would be his and if kindness to speak it would've been in his voice. not mentioning all his charities or achievements. you can google that, but as for a fan lover from across the globe, Shah Rukh Khan saved my life and made me better person today. if that is not his dignity, then i don't know what is.
so He wins, Mr. former minister. He wins our hearts and unconditional love for what he did, does and will be doing for years to come.
Oh yes, many Indians would have been ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with Him in the ensuing fight, but why risk it? suppose those many Indians had some job appointments and family commitments and couldn't show up to stand shoulder to shoulder in the ensuing fight, that will leave him all alone, by himself, facing the forces of darkness and pseudo patriots dictating him what to say or do to be a good citizen, He whose father died as the youngest freedom fighter of this country! He would've been left bare to the storm and as usual you would write a clapping letter while seated on your air-conditionned office somewhere in Democratic Canada to your earned his title in your eyes now King Khan while his posters being burnt and film losing to hate goons!
like it happened before, a whole Deja vu for me..there,
Take one:
Date: 12 February 2010.
Mode: Flashback
"My Name is Khan" release. SRK in New York ringing the NASDAQ bill and serenading the live audience with his wet eyes singing "Tere Naina" as his daughter's favorite tune of the movie.
while back home in Mumbai, Maharshtra specifically his film was being boycotted, posters burnt and audience hit before cinema halls over a controversy after a line he said in a cricket interview that had nothing to do with the years of hard work and thousands of people involved in the making of this magnificent labor of love that was warmly received all over the globe and made its way to be one of of his highest grossing films overseas.
He got hurt badly and so did we. His worldwide fans who felt so helpless before the destructive power of hate. back then we were all new to the word, still are i think, so we stood by him and he stood tall. King Khan doesn't bow nor bend. He sways in the tune of our love only.
and the times passed, left a wound and a scar yes, but that's how real men are made of. till date i still can't forget those night tweets, how sad he was and how heart wrenching it became for all of us his lovers. not even sure how and why it happened in the first place though.
His name is Khan and He is a Loverist!
Take two:
Date: 23 December 2015
Mode: Still Flashback
"Dilwale" release after another totally hogwash controversy lead by a misquoted statement that was totally misunderstood and extremely blown out of proportion. that too on his birthday!
boycotting calls circulated everywhere on social media, hate showed its ugly face and some cinemas were threatened to be burned if they run the film, audience got beaten and souls were endangered!
Sad SRK surfing the world for the promotion of his film. regardless of anything he does what he has to do with all dignity and grace. we bleed with him. in our birdy talks and literal loud screams. we support our idol and life inspiration but still he is alone out there! facing the Hurricane of bully and wearing nothing but his HEART. keeping in his mind the army of love that depends on him for a living, the workers and crew. His fans and well wishers everywhere who awaits his cinematic risings like the full moon in their darkest nights. why always HIM? is it because he is so successful? independent, made it on his own outsider who had nothing on but his heart, guts and lots of sadness to overcome? he owes nothing to nobody, He deserves where he is right now, on top. though he is in real the most grateful, humble and down to earth person ever but someone has to say it for him. So we Fans do. It left him heart broken and deeply hurt again, he kept his head high and his dimples flashed in every camera encounter but the wound reopened and another scar got born.
Date: 9 December 2016
Mode: Flash-forward
On Monday, Shah Rukh Khan paid the MNS chief Raj Thackeray a visit to assure him that the leading lady of Raees from Pakistan won’t be coming to India to promote the film.
After a tremendous thrilling response to his upcoming movie "Raees" Shah Rukh Khan the actor was shifting residence to cloud n-9. so many praises to his ecstatic performance and the glimpse of the most awaited venture is reassuring of a full ride of excellence and artistic class.
so much effort was put in the movie, powerful script and slick action topped by the epic performance of King Khan who is good when is good but when bad is way better.
but Shah Rukh Khan the businessman had to make sure his wound won't reopen and he won't be getting another scar for the new year so he did what he had to do to protect himself, his long years of dedication be it in this film or his honorable legacy of 25 years of love, blood and sweat.
but the- moral police goons sitting before their screens fighting the Don Qixhote windmills of righteous decisions of others they know absolutely nothing about -didn't like it! and started preaching as usual, king khan bowed to hate and bla bla bla..and since i am already a High BP patient, it made me sick to my stomach! i mean who the hell were there in any of the previous takes Shah Rukh kad to go through all alone without showing how painful it was just to keep people happy!
who of those screen bullies will come forward to pay the losses if protests of hate burst by the Shiv Sena or any other political party damaging all these years of heart work Shah Rukh and his co producers and Raees crew put in the film? He was working non stop for months with a broken patella putting his health on the line not listening to his doctors, living on pain killers and relief patchesjust to finish the film in time and not cause any extra troubles for the makers including his own company. where were you those who patronize? oh yes bingo! bingoo! sitting on your big fat asses chewing your pathetic old bitter anti-national gums and waiting for anything he does to start an unnecessary fire.
It became a cliche, a disgusting and most ridiculous one at the matter of fact. India is bigger then that.we love India because of Shah Rukh Khan. He through his films and personality introduced us, his foreign fans to a beautiful, tolerant, loving and most secular India that i as many of us too wished in my heart in my every coming life (if i still have any) that i would be Indian just to feel him more in his own skin.
Shah Rukh Khan is not only a National asset or Indian Pride He is a universal passion. An ambassador of love and humanity, we claim him in our hearts but we know that His heart is an Indiawaala.
Dear Shah Rukh,
King Khan, you earned this title and deserve it. You did the right thing. you offered a hand of love and peace. set an example of selflessness and care of others that should be taught. we are so proud of you king Khan!You carry a huge responsibility upon your shoulders, a burden of expectations. we understand and much appreciate all you do to entertain us in these horrid days where smiles are becoming too precious everywhere around.
There is nothing wrong in doing what you have to do to protect your loved ones, "Raees is your unborn baby, on his way to the world you need to ensure him a safe delivery and a smooth welcome. and we your fans and lovers from all over the world stand by you, support and love you always. nothing and no one can touch our love. You take care of yourself and believe in us. we will make sure your baby is most loved. don't ever be sad king, we are around you and at your back, you can count on us. your knightwriters will all be Raees for Raees ki peaceful release.
After all, it's "The universe ki hawa mein Shah rukh Khan hai, iss hawa ko kaise rokoge? "
Sincerely,
your loving Fans.

After Dilwale, I support everything SRK does to ensure a smooth release of his films. Those days still haunts me 😔😏— Benediction of GOD (@deba2501) December 11, 2016
@iamsrk did what he had to do for his business which supports thousands. That is what you do when you are the head. I fully support SRK— Tony Ashai (@tonyashai) December 13, 2016
I support SRK because he's an outsider he hasn't been handed anything for free. He's worked HARD, and DESERVES to be at the position he is.— Meera (@ruinyuo) December 4, 2016
