A few days ago, India achieved a major diplomatic win, when it was able to secure the release of eight Indian Navy veterans who were sentenced to death on espionage charges. As many were praising PM Modi for securing the release, a different section began to claim that it was superstar Shah Rukh Khan who was responsible for securing the release. Some tweets also mentioned that the Indian government reached out to SRK for his help, as he has close relations with the Emir of Qatar.
However, all the rumors are now put to rest as Shah Rukh Khan’s office has issued a statement. The same reads as, “Regarding the reports concerning Shahrukh Khan’s purported role in the release of India’s naval officers from Qatar, the officer Mr Shah Rukh Khan says that any such assertions of his involvement are unfounded, emphasizing the execution of these successful resolution solely rests with the Indian government officials and unequivocally denies Mr Khan’s participation in this matter. “
It also added, “Additionally, all matters involving diplomacy and statecraft are best executed by our very able leaders. Mr. Khan, like many other Indians is very happy that the naval officers are home safe and wishes them all the best.”
The post was shared by Shah Rukh Khan’s manager Pooja Dadlani on her official insta handle.
