Kailash Vijaybargiya’s allegations against Shah Rukh Khan was “in response” to Shah Rukh Khan’s recent remark on the rising intolerance in the country.

Vijayvargiya has since retracted his senseless tweet.
“Talking about justification when such improper statements are made and you are continually provoked, then you grow a certain amount of annoyance and people have their own style of speaking”, she said. He said: “The one thing I truly believe in is if there is intolerance to creativity and if there is intolerance to the country because of religion, we are taking away every forward step that the nation is taking”.
Shah Rukh’s wife Gauri Khan shared a snap of the superstar cutting his birthday cake at midnight in a low key affair of sorts with his family while the madness continued outside his house until the wee hours. Asked whether he will give his Padma Shri honor, Shah Rukh reacted, “I mean just for symbolic gesture, yes, if i have to”.
