Actor Shah Rukh Khan, just back from the Berlin Film Festival where fans queued up to catch a glimpse of the superstar, was at his ‘one-liner’ best in the capital on Tuesday.
He came to the press conference riding a bicycle, and apologised to the audience: “I won’t say my flight got delayed, but it takes time to come from Mumbai to Delhi on a cycle.”
It was great to be in Delhi as it was his home town, he said, but added: “It’s a little controversial to say that now,” obviously referring to the recent violence in Mumbai against north Indians.
The actor, who jokingly referred to himself as the most famous Indian, also quipped: “I like kids more than girls.” He was in Delhi to announce a new, child-oriented quiz show for a TV channel.
To a question by DNA on whether he agreed with Sania Mirza’s decision not to play in India due to controversies, he said: “It’s a personal decision. But it’s unfortunate. She’s one of the best.”
He added, “Sania must have been hurt badly to have taken a decision like that.”
Although celebrities and controversies often go together, the actor claimed that he was able to stay away from controversies.
His on-screen smoking may have irked the Union health minister, but Khan declined to add fuel to the fire. “If there’s a ban (on smoking in films), I would comply.”
On the Kolkata team that he recently bought for around Rs312 crore, Shah Rukh reiterated that he would love to have Sourav Ganguly in the team as he’s a great player.
