Did you know Shah Rukh Once Stabbed A Journalist With Wedding Sword & Was Jailed

Almost all of us are aware of how Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most charming and chivalrous gentlemen in the industry. Not only is he intellectually very sound, but his co-stars or the fans that he meets on a daily basis are very expressive of how the star actor has a particular talent of making the other person feel very, very comfortable.

However, if someone is usually very hospitable, patient, and nice, you know that you’ve really f**ked things up if they lose their s*it. Well, that’s what happened with one journalist who ended up getting under the skin of Bollywood’s  Badshah.

This incident is said to have happened during Shah Rukh’s early years in the industry while he was shooting for Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa in 1993.

Apparently, a journalist published a piece around false rumors of Shah Rukh having an extra-marital affair with a co-star, just two years after his marriage with Gauri Khan. Soon after the report came in the news, it was said that Gauri was suddenly concerned whether she did the right thing by marrying the actor. This clearly infuriated Shah Rukh, who ended up calling the journalist while hurling curse words.

Talking about the time, SRK said he then headed to the journalist’s house with a sword in hand. “I behaved very badly. I was jailed. My father-in-law had given me a sword, as they do in Punjabi weddings. I carried that sword to that journalist’s house. My father-in-law, who is an army officer, said, ‘Son, you have to protect my daughter.’ Nobody was saying anything to his daughter but I thought this is a good weapon, sanctioned by the Indian Army,” he said.

He then met a young man, who he stabbed in the legs, after which he went on to return to shooting. Unsurprisingly, the next day, the police showed up at the shoot and arrested him. However, despite being arrested and given just one phone call, Shah Rukh instead of calling for help ended up ringing the same journalist again to threaten him further.

This is what he said, “Saale ab toh jail bhi chala gaya hu. Ab toh nikal ke aauga aur tereko kaat ke jaauga (I’ve even been to jail for this. Now I will come out and cut you up).”

Wow! We could have never seen SRK channelizing his inner Dilli Ka Launda like that.

The actor was later gotten out of jail by Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman co-star Nana Patekar.
