Aseem Chhabra, noted film critic and journalist based in New York, talked about Yale ''honouring'' SRK. According to his tweets, ''truth'' is that one of the powerful Ambani brothers are responsible for bringing SRK to Yale and getting him this fellowship. Here are all his tweets on this matter:
One of the #Ambani brothers is bringing @iamsrk to @Yale University. Money, powerful friends can just about do anything in this world!

His fellow journalist, Namrata Joshi of Outlook also warned him about ''reactions'' of his tweet:

He, as expected, started getting angry reactions from SRK fans and supporters in response. Here's his tweet on being bashed:

Despite all reactions, he maintained his stance about ''money and power'' being ''at play'' in the SRK-Yale thing and the Ambani connection:

@ashermadan Dude one of the Ambani sons is studying at Yale. They asked him to come to Yale - he's traveling there for one-day as favor!

He carries on further, by trying to imply he is not anti-SRK, but still says whatever he said was the truth!

@ashermadan No issue man. I speak the truth of what is happening. I admire the man for many reasons - where he came from, what he's become!
