Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whose views on "extreme intolerance" in the country had led to a controversy last year, avoided queries about the subject at an event here on Friday.

The actor was here to make a formal announcement regarding edutainment theme park KidZania here when he was asked whether he feels that his 'intolerance' remark made people conscious in the society.

Shah Rukh responded: "I feel there is a specific platform for everything. Here we are talking about kids, so it would be good to talk about this on a platform where it is being discussed."

Earlier, the "Happy New Year" star had said: "I do think there is intolerance. There is extreme intolerance."

His views were then criticised by many politicians and the film fraternity.

Apart from Shah Rukh, superstar Aamir Khan also said during an event last year that there is "growing despondency" in India.

On the film front, Shah Rukh, who was last seen on the silver screen in "Dilwale", has films like "Fan" and "Raees" slated for release this year.

I think he is afraid that his next movie will not do well like his recent dilwale which is a flop..that's why he is avoiding this question because people now know these khans are nothing but fake in real life , he thought people will forget what he said before about intolerance but now his movie is a super flop so he knows his place now... next is amir khan his new movie will be a flop like shahrukh because of his comments on intolerance which made everyone angry and hurt... they think we are fools to watch their stupid movies after making such hurtful comments about our country ..Amir and Shahrukh are gonna have a super flop career this year..

Oh how dare he try to avoid controversy and keep his image clean? You know what, let's just go and murder him right? Because that would be totally cool.
Mind the sarcasm.

Lol. Looks like he has come back to his senses considering him and aamir are walking billboards of tolerance in india. Aamir and srk need to keep their silence when it comes to politics. Sure media loves to incite buy these 2 are not newcomers who don't know how to deal with that. They make statements and when media incite the scenario, everyone blames media. If India was such an intolerant nation nobody is forcing them to stay here. I wud love to see how they wud fare in their careers outside india
