Just when we thought the Sena-SRK controversy is dying down and things are getting better, the national media found yet another big story to flash onscreen 24/7- the Pune blast.
Shah Rukh Khan’s film, 'My Name is Khan' which faced huge flak from the Sena before its release is now running to packed houses all across the globe with SRK getting accolades for promoting peace through his film. The actor’s Berlin visit was successful, too. Shah Rukh was supposed to address the press in Mumbai on Sunday for the first time post his film’s controversial release but eventually cancelled the meet.
“Mumbai is on red alert post the Pune blast and considering the ongoing tension brewing between SRK and Sena, SRK must have decided to stay out due to security reasons,” revealed a source.
It can be remembered that SRK was of the view that peace should prevail between India and Pakistan and was also keen to have Pakistani cricketers in his IPL team. However, given the sensitive circumstances post the Pune blast, quaestions regarding 'friendship' between the two countries are bound to be hurled at him. Our source said, "If any terrorist group operating from Pakistan is found involved in the Pune blast, it would be difficult for Shah Rukh to then face questions from the media on his views..."
Having had his fair share of controversy in the last month, it seems like SRK is choosing to play safe this time around, and staying away from controversial waters.
The message of SRK's film MNIK appears to be that not all Muslims are terrorists. The point is, are not the number of Muslims who are terrorists enough to validate the general charge that Muslims tend to be terrorists or, at least, given the fact that terrorism in India has links to Pakistan, that Pakistan is behind terrorism in India? This being so and proved again and again, we should prepare for war and not peace with Pakistan.
