Shahrukh Khan decides to not attend any IPL matches.
Shahrukh Khan
King Khan was one of the key drivers of the hype and excitement around IPL, and now the actor is apparently so irked by the ICC that he has decided not to attend any matches.
The issue started earlier this week when Shahrukh was asked to leave the players dugout by ICC Anti-Corruption officials; SRK justified his presence by saying that it's his team and he has all the rights to be with them.
IPL head Lalit Modi then, issued a single non-player batch per team and recommended SRK to wear it when visiting his team in the dugout, but restricted the time to a maximum of 15 minutes.
SRK found this offer quite ridiculous and he sent an SMS to his team expressing that he is still trying to understand the code of conduct expected of him at the matches of the IPL.... ICC... etc...., and once he does understand the code he will decide whether to accept it or not; and till such a time comes he will be with his team at the hotel, in the meeting, but will not come for the matches.
SRK's absence during the matches would lead to a slide in TRP's and the IPL will sure be answerable to corporates', who are sponsoring the event.
We hope the issue is soon sorted out so that SRK can starts attending the matches as IPL will not be the same without the presence of the King.
