Finally MCA has arrived at a feasible solution to the much hyped controversy. There was war of words and it seems to have settled down from what looked like a life time ban to a five year ban. Yes, Shah Rukh Khan will not be allowed in the premises of Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai for the next five years. BCCI has opted out of the controversy and have advised both MCA officials and Shah Rukh to ease it out and not continue the words war!
On Wednesday, the MCA filed a police complaint against the Bollywood star for abusing and assaulting its officials in an inebriated state; the Bollywood star, in turn, sought an apology from the association for security guards shoving his daughter and other kids around and its officials' "unpardonable" behaviour.
The controversial event happened after the 32-run win by KKR over Mumbai Indians and after the match SRK was accompanied by a team of 20-30 kids and the issue happened when the kids tried to enter the stadium and the security officials at the ground tried to stop them at the boundary lines. SRK was etched when the security team did try to touch and 'manhandled' the kids in the name of security. SRK says "touched little girls in the garb of security". This led to an argument, in which Khan and his associates allegedly abused and shoved MCA officials and security guards.
The MCA version differed greatly. In a complaint filed at Marine Drive police station, MCA secretary Nitin Dalal said Khan and his entourage "entered the ground without proper accreditation along with 15-20 boys". "When a young girl wished him... Mr Shah Rukh Khan abused her in most dirty and vulgar language (like f*** off)... an MCA watchman came forward and asked everyone to vacate the stadium. Shah Rukh charged at the watchman and hit him and continued to use abusive language like f*** MCA, f*** BCCI," the complaint asserted.
Shahrukh says that he intervened only when he saw the security guards manhandling his kids and their friends who were playing near to the field. "It is unpardonable for security officials to physically touch little girls in the garb of security. I came downstairs to tell them not to misbehave with the children. It was the MCA officials who started the tirade, one gentleman came to the spot and said something in Marathi that is unrepeatable. That made me angry and if children with me are misbehaved with, I will behave this way time and again. Yes, I did get angry but I think the officials need to look at their own behaviour first." said the superstar in th press conference held at his home.
SRK denies that he was drunk and adds - "If this is the treatment that is meted out, I would not want to be there myself.... I will call Deshmukh. I will write a complaint about their behaviour." He also refuted allegations of him abusing a female fan. "It would be very small of me at this age and day to do something like that."
Although Ravi Savanth continues to stay his ground and says "Shah Rukh Khan misbehaved and abused MCA security personnel as well as its officials, including our president, Vilasrao Deshmukh, after the match." Deshmukh added: "Despite (MCA) officials attempting to pacify him, Shah Rukh Khan attacked them and used abusive language. The MCA managing committee has recommended a ban and will take a final call."
Its still a big mystery but this is what it sums up to!
