People call me Gadha: Shah Rukh Khan

Says Shah Rukh Khan as he reacts to former skipper Nasser Hussain's controversial comments on Indian players.

Shah Rukh Khan was launched as the face of Champions League T20 today at a suburban five star hotel in Mumbai. The actor sported his pony tailed Don 2 look. He even launched the winner's trophy.

The superstar came good two hours late but made up for his delay by answering pretty much everything that bordered on the lines of controversy. From Gautam Gambhir's injury to his take on domestic v/s national cricket...the actor even reacted to Nasser Hussain addressing few Indian players as donkeys!

"I don't want to be diplomatic but we shouldn't let this statement affect the relations between England and India. We should treat this in a humorous way. The Brits have their own way of reacting to situations. It may not make sense but when Donkeys become Gadha, it sounds different. We have had a disappointing series in England but we should stand by our players. Our players are blamed irresponsible for rendering dismal performances even in our country when I know every player plays to win. No player plays to lose. They have a jazba (spirit) which should not be questioned. I consider even that as offensive as even we do it. The only way we can fight back is by playing better Cricket" said Shah Rukh Khan.

The actor in his signature style added, "People call me gadha! They do. But sher toh sher hi hota hai (People may call me a donkey too but a lion is a lion).

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

'Every Damn Time,' Tweets Shah Rukh Khan, Detained At US Airport

Movie star Shah Rukh Khan, detained at an airport in the US for questioning again, tweeted on Thursday: "Every damn time!" The 50-year-old actor was detained at the Los Angeles airport this time. A man with the same name is on a US no-fly list of 80,000 people. He took to Twitter to voice his exasperation. I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks. @iamsrk  The brighter side is while waiting caught some really nice Pokemons. @iamsrk  Mr Khan, one of the most successful stars in the Hindi film industry, has been held back at US airports thrice in seven years. American officials tell NDTV that during immigration checks, what pops up is a name without any other detail to help draw a distinction. In April 2012, Mr Khan was held back for over two hours at the airport in New York on a visit to address students at Yale University. He had joked later at Yale: "Whenever I start fee
