Banning Shah Rukh Khan from Wankhade isn’t a big deal. Why? Cause the Kolkata Knight Riders play in the Wankhade once a year. And it would hardly matter to him, if he misses one out of 18 matches they play.

I have always believed in one philosophy. In anything that come’s up has three views. One is of yours, second is of the opposite person and third is the “Truth”. What happened in the Wankhade has its own version from different people.

After hearing what the witnesses had to say, I would like to say that SRK was wrong in using abusive language and boasting his way around. Yes he is a celebrity and can get things in his favor. But then again he’s just another citizen of this Country.

If the ground was to be closed and locked, why did the MCA official get regionalism out of the blue? In 60 years of our Independence we are back to square one. Divide and rule yet? Why did the official had to abuse in Marathi and say things which were not required?

Now for Shah Rukh Khan’s version. If I were in his case and anyone man-handled my kids or the kids who have come along with me, in front of my eyes would have had a similar circumstance to face. Come on whom are we lying? If it had been your son or daughter would you not have re-acted the way he did? He is also a human and a father!

This incident reminds me of an incident that happened sometime back. A Political leader was caught on camera asking his junior to tie his shoelace. For that matter a Sarpanch had slapped a lady on camera. Where did the media go or where did the leaders go. They didn’t have the balls to stand up against them. Then, why target Shah Rukh Khan. Just cause he’s a celebrity?

Let’s get it straight. We will not get to know of exactly what happened there. Every witness and every person who were present there will have their own version. It’s easy to sit out and comment on the issue.

Would conclude by asking a question, “ If your child was man handled in front of your eyes, would you sit back and let people do it?”
