Remarks on Pak players misconstrued: Shah Rukh

Mumbai, Feb 6 (PTI) Under attack from Indian political
party Shiv Sena, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan Saturday said
it was sad that his remarks on Pakistani cricketers in
Indian Premier League have been misconstrued but ruled out
meeting the party chief Bal Thackeray on his own to sort out
the controversy.
"I think what I said has been misconstrued. I am pro good
relationship with countries. I am not pro some other country
and not my own country. How is it possible?," he told
reporters outside the airport here in the western Indian
metropolis on his arrival from London amid tight security.
Asked if he would go to 'Matoshree', home Bal Thackeray,
who has been attacking the actor for his comments on the
non-inclusion of Pakistani players in the 3rd edition of IPL,
to explain his position, the actor said Bal Thackeray was a
senior leader and he had gone to his residence whenever he was
called.
"I have been there so often. Yes, I would like to go and
have drink with him. But on this matter, I don't see....there
is no reason for going and asking....but if my stand needs to
be explained to someone, I have already done it. I don't think
there is an issue on that front," Khan said.
But the 44-year-old actor, whose upcoming film 'My Name
Is Khan' faces threat from Sena supporters, also added that
"If there is any misunderstanding. Let's be gracious and let's
talk it out," (More) PTI
