6 Important Revelations SRK Made After His Views On Intolerance Were Misinterpreted

It¡¯s been a week since Dilwale released and even after mixed reviews, the film is doing consistently well at the box-office. While King Khan is still busy in finishing the last leg of the promotional events and tours, he chose to clear his stand about his past remarks on intolerance at a recent press conference.
He not only expressed his views but also said that he'd like to ¡°stand by¡± his previous comments about ¡°growing intolerance¡± in the country. He added that he doesn¡¯t even need to apologise for his comments. But he did say that his comments were highly ¡°misconstrued, misrepresented and misinterpreted¡±.
Meanwhile, here are 6 important points SRK put forth that clearly expressed his displeasure. These views also bring to light another pertinent question - are we so quick in judging and misinterpreting opinions that we miss the original point?
Well, yes, apparently. Have a look:
1. ¡°I have not said anything I would apologize for. I won¡¯t deny but I have been reading messages on the social media. Perhaps the film was not screened (in Rajasthan and MP for the first two days) because of this."
2. "I have been an actor for 25 years and I have received love from every corner of the country, irrespective of region, religion, caste, creed, gender. The only way I can return the love is through my work. I try my best to do that."
3. But it is saddening (when something like this happens) and perhaps it stems from what I say. To be honest though, a lot of the things I say are misconstrued, misrepresented and misinterpreted. I am not someone who will sit here and say I have any issue with the tolerance or intolerance,¡±
4. "Perhaps people did not understand what I meant to say or maybe I couldn¡¯t explain properly. Anyone who feels bad about it (the comments), I regret it completely¡. As an Indian, I am very proud to have worked hard to make people smile,¡±
5. ¡°I feel extremely sad. I don¡¯t need to vouch for who I am, what I stand for but I feel very sad that the work sometimes gets tainted like this. It is too hurtful to know that something we make to give happiness to people would somehow turn into something that becomes controversial or tainted.¡±
6. When he was asked about his views on the release of the juvenile rapist, SRK said, ¡°I will be honest. I am not going to answer anything which is a serious issue on a platform like this. At this point, I am completely at a wrong place, at a wrong time,¡¯
