Mumbai: Baadshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan, who is in Berlin for the premiere of his film ‘My Name Is Khan’, says he is sad about the angst created due to the movie and about Shiv Sena questioning his patriotism. Shah Rukh Khan wrote on his Twitter page- "In Berlin. From the Grand Hotel and premiere in Abu Dhabi....sand to snow...the journey has begun...for Khan. Hope it ends well and peacefully. Ironic and sad...a film made for world peace has led to so much angst in my own house, my city, my country. Let not anyone be hurt is all I pray." The actor for the first time spoke about Shiv Sena as he tweeted, “I may not have the same ideologies as the Sena but on the question of me being a patriot, I don’t think there should be any confusion. Feel awful that Balasahib & Uddhav have misconstrued my words. The reactions of the Sena workers seems to make me believe that.” “Writing not to justify but to spell out clearly who I am & my beliefs. Seems otherwise I am misunderstood. Should I write in block letters?” “I have never hurt anybody`s sentiments…religious, nationalist or personal wittingly. I am pro relationships but not at cost of my nation. Anyone or anything that threatens my country.” For all those who think that the actor is pulling a publicity stunt, SRK wrote, “In case people thin’ I want to enjoy my film everywhere. I want to enjoy it within myself. And to sickos who think this is for publicity…2 words SHUT UP !!” The actor tweeted that he is an Indian who owes everything to Mumbai. His loves his country and family as he continued, “Wish: world peace, education for all, goodness & no poverty. Nationality: Indian. Born in: Delhi. Owe everything to: Mumbai. Loves: my country India, my family & freedom. Desire: entertain all. I am Shah Rukh. Age 44. favourite colours :black & white. Job: performing artist. Likes: to make people smile. Profession: father. “ The actor is currently under attack by the Shiv Sena for his comments on the inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 cricket tournament. Shiv Sena had announced a "ban" on ‘My Name Is Khan’ thereafter. Since Tuesday, its supporters have been vandalising cinema halls and tearing up hoardings around Mumbai, forcing the authorities to arrest over 1,600 of them and to deploy extra policemen around cinema halls, where the movie is releasing Friday. "My Name Is Khan", set in post 9/11 US, also features Kajol and has been directed by Karan Johar.
