By IndiaFM News Bureau, November 21, 2007 - 13:57 IST
Shah Rukh Khan and controversies seem to be going hand in hand off late. After the Manoj Kumar episode, it is now the BCCI, who did not take SRK’s appearance for cricket matches in ‘the right sense’.
The senior Cricket board officials commented that stars are using cricket matches to promote films. However, the superstar hits back saying that he does not have to depend on other's platforms to push his films. He was upset over the annotations made by Ratnakar Shetty that use of the platform of cricket for promoting films by celebrities is "slightly debatable" in the wake of his latest film, Om Shanti Om as it came up for discussion during a chat with TV commentator, Rameez Raja at the recent Jaipur ODI cricket match between India and Pakistan.
SRK further added that he went to watch the match as a sports lover. It is because his children are fans of Sachin, Dhoni, and Sourav. Meanwhile BCCI Vice President, Rajiv Shukla said that the Board has no objection to SRK or any other celebrity coming to watch the matches.
Shah Rukh has been appearing in matches connecting the Indian team. He was present to cheer the team at the final of the Twenty 20 World Cup in South Africa and also at the Twenty20 match against Australia in Mumbai, where Deepika Padukone, his co-star in Om Shanti Om was also present.
