New Delhi: Bollywood has come out in support of superstar Shah Rukh Khan after he was banned from the Wankhede Stadium for five years following a scuffle with MCA officials. The 46-year-old actor and co-owner of IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) said that he lost his cool when he saw MCA officials manhandling his daughter and other children.
B-town was all praises for the actor and took to Twitter to say that his action was justified.
Director and friend Karan Johar said, "SRK is one of the best fathers I know and protective about every child. He was being just that, a protective parent!!! Why blame a man who was just reacting as a father... Who wouldn`t have done the same in his place?"
Actress and new mother Celina Jaitley said, "Speaking even as a new mother of twins, when it comes to one`s children a parent will go to any length to protect them, SRK is a good dad. When it comes to my children I would go to any lengths to protect them, he was being a dad at that moment... Are stars not human?"
‘Kahaani’ director Sujoy Ghosh also voiced his support for SRK, saying, "Read about the SRK incident. I think @iamsrk was very decent about the whole thing. I`d have ripped their heads off if it was my daughter (sic)."
Director Anurag Basu said, "SRK`s behaviour is completely justified, I`d have smashed their heads if it was my daughter."
Music composer-singer Vishal Dadlani tweeted, "Straight up. Touch my family, I destroy you. No question. SRK was right."
"I`ve got first hand reports of the fracas with @iamsrk. His daughter was touched and shoved. He protected. Well done Dad!! At Wankhede, SRK was a father, not just an actor... Please don`t expect a father to apologise for protecting his baby.. Satyamev Jayate (sic)," TV actor Ronit Roy tweeted.
