What led Shah Rukh Khan to brawl at Wankhede?, Different stories has been said!!!

Even as the suspense continues as to why Bollywood actor and Kolkata Knight Riders' co-owner Shah Rukh Khan allegedly had altercations with the security and officials of Mumbai Cricket Association, it is known that the guard had pushed SRK's daughter at Wankhede stadium angering the actor.

According to a source present at the Wankhede Stadium, Shah Rukh lost his cool after the security deployed by the Mumbai Cricket Association barred the actor's children son Aryan and daughter Suhana  from entering into the ground.

If sources are to be believed, the security guard spoke rudely with the children and pushed Suhana (daughter of SRK) out of the ground which got the actor furious.   "Sab chod tune inko haat kyon lagaya, I am here only jo karna hai karlo," SRK was heard daring the security guards of MCA.
 Shah Rukh, who spoke to the media on Thursday afternoon, denied he had misbehaved or was drunk but said he was reacting to the "obnoxious" and "unpardonable" behaviour of officials at the stadium. He said he had not been present at the match but had gone there after it was over to pick up a large group of his children and their friends.

SRK looks Furious with Security Personal

He said he saw security guards manhandling the children and when he objected a group of officials came over and the altercation started. "I said a few things in anger. I was one and they were 20-25 officials and they were extremely rude. When I tried to answer them, they hid behind others," the actor said. "There was nothing illegal, I was not on the pitch. I know the rules."

The security personnel Dalvi who was deputed at the exit to the VIP area and dressing room refuted that the children had no access passes thus they could not be allowed on the ground.The stadium was already vacated and partial lights too were switched off which was indication for the team and ground staff to vacate the ground.

KKR officials making the situation cool

The children who had accompanied with the actor were stern and refused to leave the ground which coaxed the security personnel to take drastic step.

When Dalvi refuted that he was right in his actions and was doing his duty, reportedly SRK stunned all  by slapping the security personnel which summoned the other members of MCA and IPL officials to intervene. 

The story didnt end here, furious Khan after the brawl walked off towards the dressing room to join his teammates in the celebration, where he bumped into a couple of Mumbai Indians supporters who asked SRK for his autograph and innocently said that though KKR won the match they support their city team which miffed SRK who ended up abusing an young girl (Mumbai Indian) fan.

Navin Shetty the committee member of MCA added, "Shah Rukh was drunk state and started abusing all the committee members and couple of Mumbai Indians fans too. He also slapped one of our security officials Dalvi, when we intervened Shah Rukh along with the Moorani brothers forcibly entered the dressing room too. We have already given an written complaint to the Marine lines police station and imposed an life ban on the actor to enter the Wankhede stadium untill the probe is concluded".

'Drunk' SRK misbehaves with MCA officials at Wankhede after IPL Match

What do we expect from the people we respect and place them as our idol? We always expect them to be mannered and well discipline in all respect of Life but do we always get same from them.  Shahrukh Khan may have many times played the bad guy in the movies but in real life is always loved and adored by one and all. In the recent past Shahrukh has been in the news more for his controversial fights than anything else.
Yesterday Bollywood actor and Indian Premier League franchise Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan is said to have misbehaved with the MCA security personnel and officials when they tried to stop him from entering the Wankhede grounds at an IPL match. The MCA is all set to lodge a police complaint against him and also a complaint with the BCCI. One of the officials also accused Shahrukh of being drunk. They are also thinking of forbidding Shahrukh from entering the Wankhede stadium.

Well, we do hope everything settles down and the misunderstandings are sorted out.

SRK Cheering and pic speaks itself 

"He (Khan) misbehaved and abused the MCA security personnel as well as MCA officials, including our president Vilasrao Deshmukh, after the IPL match (between KKR and Mumbai Indians). We have decided to ban him for life from entering the stadium in future," MCA treasurer Ravi Savant said.
 Giving the background to what happened after the KKR's 32-run rout of Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede, Savant said Shah Rukh and his posse of bodyguards had gone up to the teams' dressing room and then came down and started to go on to the ground.

"The MCA security personnel told them they cannot do so as the match was over which led to Shah Rukh abusing them as well as the MCA officials. There was manhandling too by his people. We have decided to ban him from all future matches at the stadium. We are also going to lodge a police complaint against him," Savant said.

Asked whether the MCA would lodge a complaint with the BCCI over one of the IPL team owner's behaviour, Savant said all the altercation had taken place in the presence of IPL CEO Sundar Raman and BCCI's media manager Devendra Prabhudesai.

"Of course we will lodge a complaint with the BCCI also," Savant said.
 Later KKR officials took Shah Rukh away from the scene but the MCA officials were left seething in anger and promised against the actor's rowdy behaviour.

The complaint was submitted in the court of the additional chief judicial magistrate. The court has fixed April 12 for hearing in the matter.
