When Shah Rukh Khan Said, ¡®Fine If The Dilwale Song Rang De Tu Mohe Gerua Becomes BJP's Tagline¡¯

The film was recently in a pool of controversy after Deepika donned an orange ¡®monokini¡¯ in one of the film¡¯s songs.

The Besharam Rang fiasco reminded fans of the time when SRK said that he is okay if BJP makes Rang De Tu Mohe Gerua their tagline.

When asked about intolerance, SRK in a 2015 interview with Mail Today said, "There is no intolerance in India, all is fine. This is a small issue -hatred. Every time a film is being released they ask: Are you patriotic enough? It's sad you have to prove your patriotism. I tell my children don't make judgements about religion and other such small issues. These are normal things and everybody does that.¡±

¡°But sometimes, people quote you out of context. This doesn't mean I feel there is intolerance in the country¡±, the Don actor said.

SRK was further asked if he¡¯s okay with the BJP party stealing the line Rang de tu mohe Gerua and turning it into a tagline for the next elections. "Yes, it's fine. Once I have said it, it is not my line any more. Anybody can use it if they think it will help them. A political party, a team or an individual," SRK quipped.

In the same interview, SRK addresses online trolls and said, "Trolls have called me gay t**d, so what! Social media gives everybody a chance to express themselves. Sometimes, you tag a celebrity and say what you have to as it will be magnified. But what is important is that technology that keeps you updated. You don't need a newspaper now to know what's happening. The moment there is news, it's online."

Just a day ahead of Pathaan¡¯s release, a troll tried taking a dig at SRK and called him ¡®Femme Fatale.

Khan¡¯s reaction to the same is winning hearts. The troll has shared an old picture of SRK dressed up as a lady in response to YRF¡¯s promo. YRF originally wrote, ¡°She is a total femme fatale in #Pathaan as she transforms into a spy with a license to kill! Watch @deepikapadukone bare her heart about her role, what makes her and @iamsrk one of the biggest all-time blockbuster jodis of the Indian film industry & much more¡­¡± Here¡¯s how SRK reacted:-
