A collection of the actor's tweets through the day on the eve of the release of his film in Mumbai
- ironic & sad. a film made for world peace has led to so much angst in my own house.my city.my country. let not anyone be hurt is all i pray
- do i say things which r wrong. my wife tells me so. do i not make myself clear.some friends feel so.am i political or politically incorrect?
- i am shah rukh. age 44. favourite colours :black & white. job : performing atriste. likes : to make people smile. profession : father.
- nationality: indian. born in : delhi. owe everything to: mumbai. loves: my country india, my family & freedom. desire: entertain all.
- hate: anyone or anything that threatens my country. wish : world peace, education for all, goodness & no poverty.
- i have never hurt anybody's sentiments..religious,nationalist or personal wittingly. i am pro relationships but not at cost of my nation.
- writing not to justify but to spell out clearly who i am & my beliefs. seems otherwise i am misunderstood. should i write in block letters ?
- dont want mayhem anger and violence cos of our beautiful film...which talks about repairing a bruised & divided world.
- feel awful that balasahib & udhav have misconstrued my words. the reactions of the sena workers seems to make me believe that.
- i may not have the same ideologies as the sena but on the question of me being a patriot, i dont think there should be any confusion.
- i hope my tweets (using the word first time) clear this cloud of confusion. i hope peace prevails & the city is at rest.
- nobody wants the mumbaikers or their property hurt & destroyed. least of all me.
- this also is the last time i clarify or say anything on this topic. this is not a justification, its just reiterating the facts.
- i want to enjoy my film everywhere. i want to enjoy it within myself. and to sickos who think this is for publicity..2 words SHUT UP !!
- anyone asks me about this issue anymore...they can read my tweets. now wot happens with the releasethe film, is the films fate.
- if my partners lose so be it. if i lose so be it.my stardom is transient.my integrity in non negotiable...my being indian unquestionable.
- my name is shah rukh khan... and i think it is more than just a name. my mother & father had told me so & my son & daughter believe it so.
- p.s...to all channels translating this...please get it right without adding the dramatic music. drama leave it to the films.
- white snow shining. black coffee steaming. sleep depraved.greying stubble.rave reviews. journey about to end. new beginnings.missing home.
- hope peace prevails. hope misunderstandings get cleared. hope nobody is hurt. hope all leaders & activists have largesse of heart. hope...
- i also hope with wot i write & say i have not hurt anybody's sensibilities or sentiments. my intention is never to do so.
- i have no ego or false sense of pride. my words have been benign & without ill will to any person (s) or my nation.
- i have the courage of conviction by my side. i explain becos better to do that, than create aggression & division in my country.
- There r good & bad people in all groups or places. for the acts of bad by some we cannot generalise on grounds of physical boundaries.
- we have bad ppl in india,pakistan and everywhere else. nobody including me stands by anyone who is bad or resorts to inhuman acts.
- why should we have this demarcation permeate in fields of art,sports,culture and otherwise normal things. is that a wrong way to think??
- i think these conspiracy theories on art,sports etc being used to fund untoward activities is completely off the mark.
- writing all this so that i know that i havent really said anything bad in the last few days to anyone & it is clear now & not muddled.
- am i getting paranoid ??? of my own words and interviews. my english teacher told me not to write too much..wife says not to say too much.
- absolutely last thought (In 3 parts of course): appeal to all to understand that mumbai is the gateway of india to the world.
- 2. film industry is india's cultural ambassador all around the globe.all of us have the responsibilty to protect the fair name of mumbai...
- 3. mumbai's legendary film industry & its spirit of pluralism and tolerance. i do this all around the world & can do so wherever needed.
- now please send me a nice joke...otherwise i will keep on explaining my beliefs. need to go and enjoy berlin festival and its hospitality.
- thanx all around the world. for listening to me. i hope it finds its way to goodness of heart in mumbai.now better go & do press stuff here.
- love u all...will meet again. next time round will be happy i hope and will tell u about the berlinale. thanx once again for listening.
