SRK walked out of IPL Awards function due to Yuvraj’s joke?

Shah Rukh Khan, who attended the IPL Awards ceremony last Friday after much cajoling from the organizers and sponsors, reportedly walked out of the event before the final act because cricketer Yuvraj Singh's joke onstage offended him.

According to a source familiar with the incident, "SRK teased Yuvi about his female fan following and said they only stuck to him because of his Casanova image."

"Yuvi retaliated by saying that women ran after him (and not Khan) because he was stuck to Karan. There was a hush in the audience at this comment but Shahrukh being a good sport, handled the situation well. But he made his displeasure known backstage and staged a walkout," added the source.

The final act at the event required all the IPL team owners to be present on the stage with their respective teams but SRK was nowhere to be found.

SRK left early because of work commitments?
However, when SRK was contacted and asked about the reason for his early visit, the star maintained that he came to the function despite being very busy and left the show only after fulfilling all his duties there.

SRK also said that it was not possible for him to stay till the end of the show due to other work commitments that needed his immediate attention.

"I had made a commitment as a professional - I would do my job. And I did. I left post show because I had a shoot waiting. I had to finish it," said Shah Rukh.

Friends call SRK 'problem child'
Recently, SRK tweeted that his constant brush with one controversy after another has earned him a tag of 'problem child' from his friends.

"My friend just called me a 'problem child'... always in trouble. I think it is true...it would be so boring to be a 'solution adult'," posted SRK on his Twitter page.

Just couple of days ago income tax officials had raided KKR's offices and were said to have found some "incriminating evidences" in the ongoing probe against IPL authorities because of financial irregularities.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
