Bal Thackeray supports ban on Shahrukh Khan
Bal Thackeray is in support of the Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) ban on Shahrukh Khan for his 'misdemeanour' at the Wankhede Stadium.
Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray on Saturday criticised Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan for what he termed was his 'misdemeanour' at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday night and backed the Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) decision to ban SRK from the stadium for five years.
Lashing out at Shahrukh Khan in his party mouthpiece 'Saamna', Thackeray said Shah Rukh was insulted several times by the US security officials, but he kept quiet then. "He did not lose his cool there, but when a poor security guard asked him to follow rules, he threatened to bury him alive. What kind of language is this?" Thackeray asked.
Thackeray also appreciated the five-year ban on Shah Rukh's entry to the Wankhede Stadum and said that a lifetime ban should be imposed on SRK. The Shiv Sena supremo said that ban was reduced to five years due to pressure from New Delhi.
"If pressure comes from Delhi, it will be further reduced to five minutes," he quipped.
The MCA Friday slapped a ban for five years on Shah Rukh from entering the Wankhede Stadium over his alleged bad behaviour at the stadium.
Shahrukh Khan, the co-owner of Indian Premier league (IPL) team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), had allegedly misbehaved with security personnel and MCA officials on Wednesday night.
Shah Rukh claimed the security guards manhandled the children he had brought to the stadium, which provoked him to protest.
