Shah Rukh Khan is undoubtedly one of the biggest superstars of all times, he is loved by everyone and it is almost impossible to find a person who doesn’t like him. In other words, it won’t be wrong to say that no one has the courage to insult King Khan.
However, almost a decade back, during an award function, the actor Neil Nitin Mukesh got angry with the King of Romance and he asked him to shut up. SRK and Saif Ali Khan were the hosts of the award function and SRK asked a question to Neil Nitin Mukesh, SRK stated, “I have a question for Neil Nitin Mukesh. Tumhara naam hai Neil Nitin Mukesh, bhaiya surname kahan pe hai? Saare ke saare first names hain (Your name is Neil Nitin Mukesh, you have three first names but where is the surname)? Why don’t you have a surname?”
In response, Neil Nitin Mukesh said, “Sir, very kind question, thank you so much. But can I take the liberty of saying something?” After SRK told him to proceed, Neil said, “That is an insult for me actually, I feel. It’s not right. I think you haven’t seen, but my father’s sitting out here. I think you guys just need to shut up. I’m sorry.”
Here is the video of the incident:
Recently during an interview, Neil Nitin Mukesh was asked about that incident and he made it clear that he didn’t insult Shah Rukh, it was the Pathaan actor who gave him the liberty to do so.
Neil Nitin Mukesh said, “Not at all. They were never insults. I would never ever, I love that man, the entire nation loves him. He was having fun, I was having fun and both of us knew that.”
When the Jail actor was asked whether it was scripted, he said, “If you say so, I’ll believe it. If you want to call it scripted, let it be, but there was love. He told me beforehand that ‘I’ll have some fun with you’. So I asked, ‘Sir, what level of fun are we talking about?’ He said, ‘Whatever you can think of, do it.’ He gave me that liberty so I did it. I would never disrespect an elder, a person from Mukesh family will never insult anyone.”
Shah Rukh Khan is definitely a very sporting person, isn’t he?
