Shah Rukh takes a dig at Tarun Tejpal


Shah Rukh Khan displayed his wit at an event while referring to the now infamous Tarun Tejpal sexual assault case

December 06, 2013

MUMBAI
Shaheen Parkar

He may have rambled it off in jest in a bid to amuse the audience, which he felt were being treated to some serious talk, but when Shah Rukh Khan makes a dig at Tarun Tejpal, it gets noticed and raises eyebrows.


Shah Rukh Khan

The former Tehelka founder-editor has been grabbing headlines after he was accused of sexual assaulting a junior colleague. While Tejpal is in police custody in Goa, King Khan in his inimitable style had something to say about the high-profile case.


Tarun Tejpal

The star took a jibe at Tejpal at a conclave which was hosted by a news channel in New Delhi on Wednesday. It had the country's leading personalities and thought leaders in attendance. Apart from SRK, the other B-Town folk at the event included Aamir Khan and Priyanka Chopra.

King Khan, as usual, was at his ebullient best as he answered every question in his tongue-in-cheek way. He stated that his job was to entertain people through his movies. The interviewer then told King Khan that as he is considered the king of romance, he should say some of his most memorable romantic lines.

So as he began mouthing some dialogues from Jab Tak Hai Jaan, he indulged in a bit of harmless flirting with the interviewer asking her if she was married and when told yes, he said that he hoped that her husband was not watching the show. He further quipped that he would love to romance her somewhere outside the venue, but definitely not in a lift. SRK then paused and said "No... no you are a journalist, not in a lift."

As some members of the audience broke into laughter, he went a step further and said, "Adnan Sami' s Lift Kara De song now has a new meaning." The audience then chuckled some more.

An onlooker says, "Shah Rukh may have just said it in a lighter vein but for a second there was stunned silence. There was this sense of disbelief considering it is a sensitive case. However, later people caught it as a joke and started laughing."

Incidentally at the event, King Khan also declared that nowadays B-Town folk think of R100, 200 and 300 crore clubs, but he is aiming to enter the Rs 1,000 crore club.

I so knew this would be written about the moment he made the joke. The second he said it.

SRK really needs to keep his humor at bay. Yes, people laugh and everyone enjoys the jokes and the evening...but later on, he's the one who lands up with all this media hype and controversy. Uggh why Shah?

Ugghh. Telling a female journalist that he would like to romance her somewhere outside and he hopes her husband is not watching is borderline chichorapan. You can be gallant and charming without resorting to these kind of cheap gimmicky comments.

I dont think there was any 'chichorapan' what he did. If thats chichoraapan then i think Salman saying "Kya tum ugly jallad ke bacche ki maa bnne jaa rhi ho", "jaao jaa ke ugly jallad ke saath kone me pyaar karo" & other blah blah comments to that Beautiful Pari in Bigg Boss comes under sexual harrassement right??

SRK was just having some fun plus he was taking a dig at Tarun Tejpal. Its good to see that he's aware of the things going on in our country unlike some actors who can't even write 'tweet' in a proper language.

Its not SRK's fault that majority of audience is too dumb to understand his sense of humour. But said that, he should not speak such sentences because people just dont get them. Why waste your intelligence on such peeps?? 😆

He said that intentionally, for he can take a dig at Tejpal.

there is only KING in India. and that is Sachin Tendulkar, apart playing for so many years, he has always remained humble and attitude free. And quoting 'Aamir's statement. he never proclaimed himself as NO.1 like SRK. also he never has been involved in any ugly controversies either. SRK could learn a lot of him unfortunately he is spineless, and doesn't have the guts to mend his ways. that's why he could never surpass the legacy of Amitabh Bacchan as well.
