A 100 rupee note saves Shahrukh Khan!

Jaipur: Superstar Shahrukh Khan has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Khan has been entrapped in legal hassle after he was spotted smoking in public at Sawaai Man Singh Stadium, Jaipur. But, a smart SRK escaped with a paltry fine of Rs 100, after having pleaded guilty before a Jaipur court.

Disposing of the matter, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate SC Godara, Jaipur City, allowed Khan to deposit the fine through his counsel. Shahrukh was summoned by the court in May on a complaint that he was seen smoking on April 8 during a match between his team and Rajasthan Royals at Sawai Man Singh Stadium. But, the actor had pleaded guilty and expressed his willingness to pay fine before the court, which had also allowed him exemption from personal appearance.

In fact, recently, Ranbir Kapoor too has been summoned by an Udaipur court for smoking in public. A legal complaint was filed against Kapoor, who was spotted smoking on the sets of his latest film Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. But later, Ranbir cleared his stand after he told a local court through his lawyer that he was only shooting for a scene for one of his films and not smoking in 'real.'
