Don’t get misled by people who perhaps misconstrued what I am saying, so I regret that this has happened. I feel extremely sad. I apologize if somebody got disturbed, please go out and enjoy the film because it’s not me, there are thousands who have made it with a lot of love,” added SRK.

“I’ve been reading messages on social media and even on ground that there has been activity all over the country, where the film has been stopped, and not allowed. Box office collections have been hit. I have been an actor for 25 years in this country. I would like to say I received love from every corner of the country, in spite of religion, region, caste, creed, gender.
The only way I can return the love is through my work. And I try my Best to do that. I succeed some times, and sometimes I fail, but I try my best to do that. So it saddens me when any of my work can’t reach the people, because I do work two or three times a year. It is saddening,” concluded King Khan.
