You have the wonderful gift of the gab, and that is evident when you tweet, write or give inspirational speeches. Don't you think as an icon you could use it for a larger purpose?
A. My reply will be in two parts. Yes, I think I should. I have an idea, but haven't been able to put it to practice. I want to create a weekly video where I could present myself to the world. I could be talking about everything, not just films. But then, I also think I should speak less. I talk about something and it is misconstrued, and I get into trouble. That's a nuisance. Like that thing which blew up recently " I never said India is intolerant. When I was asked about it, I said I wouldn't like talking about it, but when they insisted, I had just said that the youth should concentrate on making this a secular, progressive country. It is just that people like to believe what they want to believe. Misconstruing my words might or might not suit a particular political agenda, but I am annoyed because I didn't mean what is being portrayed. I am an actor and make films. This is enough of a job. I am an icon because I can be what I am on screen. I would rather stick to that. I don't enjoy spending three nights explaining to hairstylists that I didn't mean to offend anyone by naming my film Barber. These things take away from my source of happiness. I must say I love talking. My experiences in life have been such that I can give away certain nice things. But then you can't expect everyone to understand your way of thinking or even your sense of humour. That is the reason why I stopped hosting shows... I was offending too many people. One truism in this industry is that you can't please everyone all the time.

Anyone who watched that interview video know exactly what SRK said and what he meant, unless they have comprehension problems or some other problems. 😉
I dont understand why hes targeted all the time by RSS/SS/BJP types? Is it because his grandpa all those years ago was a Congress party associate? 😕
Even on his TV shows, people take umbrage to what SRK says, but others get away with much worse behavior and statements while hosting their TV shows, because they have SS on their side.

Those who watched the actual interview knew what he was talking abt...here watch it and hear what he said:

THAT is what people were defending. While the media and SS people just chose the words, extreme intolerance and twisted it for their own purpose.
He even said the youth of India wont tolerate this intolerance.

His exact words: Intolerance, religiously, not being secular in this country, is the worst kind of crime you can do as a Patriot!
