Over the last couple of days, the whole of India has been shocked by the behaviour of Shah Rukh Khan. The Bollywood star was reportedly drunk and tried to barge into the Wankhede Stadium after the IPL match between his team, the Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians, which KKR won.
As an owner of the IPL team, he might have got away with it, but reports say that he had about 40 people with him, including around 2 dozen or more kids. He tried to take everyone of them into the cricket ground for game of cricket.
The stadium guard, a guy who looks almost at the verge of retirement tried to stop them from invading the ground and was abused with a lot of filthy language by Shah Rukh Khan. The Indian Express article referred above also has a link to the audio record of the spat.
The latest as of this post is that SRK has been banned from Wankhede Stadium for 5 years by the Mumbai Cricket Association MCA). It would be interesting to see whether the BCCI and the IPL council controlled by the BCCI would stand by the MCA or kow-tow to the bollywood actor.
SRK seems quite confident that he can wing it due to his personal equation with the MCA President Vilasrao Deshmukh.
Coming back to the image, doesn’t the security guard whose name is Vikas Dalvi, look dignified and composed? And doesn’t SRK look a bit ruffled and not-in-control?
Here is the first mad.madrasi take on the incident - Where is the ID card/pass of the Shah Rukh Khan? I can’t see it anywhere on him. Isn’t one such card or pass required for everyone who is not part of the playing Team? Or am I wrong?
Now that there is proof that Shah Rukh Khan gets drunk and acts boorish in public, will all the idiots who reared up on their hind legs and howled when this same ‘gentleman’ was detained by the customs and border protection authorities in New York, just about a month ago?
Will the nincompoop External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna who huffed and puffed at the detention of the drunken boor by US authorities, apologize to them and the tax paying Indian citizens, now?
I mean, isn’t it clear by now? This idiot of an actor thinks too big of himself and behaves in a very snobbish manner with people who he thinks are ‘servants’. That is way he seems to have acted in Mumbai cricket stadium with the security guard and probably the same way he must have acted with the US Customs Agents. If you try to pull that with the US Customs officers, no doubt you will be detained and at their mercy.
:-P
I remember once when I signed off with a Chief Engineer Officer (Ch. Engr.) and proceeded to clear Customs in the Port of Mumbai. That Ch. Engr. was an idiot of the first order and used to feel that he can order everyone around, and people would jump at his word, even on land and off the ship.
You can guess what happened. We were ‘detained’ by the Customs at the Red Gate of Indira Docks from about 2 in the afternoon till around 8 in the evening. Even then it wasn’t due to my frantic apologies, but due to fervent pleas by a seaman who got off with us and who had a train to board at 9 p.m. As sailors know, from Red Gate to Victoria Terminus or CST is just a couple of minutes by taxi and he made it well in time.
:-)
The moral of the story is for everyone of us Indians to stop feeling jingoistic whenever we hear of hindrances to Indians anywhere in the world. This should be a lesson that we Indians have slowly and steadily started imitating the ‘Ugly American’, and other people might not take it easy, when we act boorish.
My Wicked half whispers, ‘On second thoughts, better not S.M. Krishna take up the matter of SRK vs MCA. He might end up apologizing to the MCA, in a mix-up of statements, just as he read out Portuguese Minister’s speech at the UN’.
Oh God! Give me Ugly Indian any time!
