We
reported
to
you
about
the
accusation
against
Shahrukh
khan
for
his
alleged
plagiarism
of
JK
Rowling's
Harvard
speech.
As
we
all
were
waiting
to
see
what
SRK
would
say
for
being
blamed,
we
now
have
a
response
from
his
strategist,
who
defends
Shahrukh.
This
news
on
SRK
plagiarising
had
become
a
controversy
overnight.
The
internet
was
buzzing
about
the
same.
Superstar
Shahrukh
Khan's
Chief
Digital
Strategist,
Shailja
defends
the
actor
and
makes
it
clear
to
everyone
that
Shahrukh
has
not
plagiarised.
Shailja
tells
us
that
SRK
had
given
credits
to
the
Harry
Potter
author
JK
Rowling
for
using
her
phrases
from
her
2008
Harward
speech.
In
the
previous
article,
we
gave
you
examples
of
sentences
where
SRK
had
used
Rowling's
phrases
but
now
have
fresh
news
which
proves
that
the
actor
credited
Rowling.
He
had
in
fact
begun
his
sentences
by
mentioning
that
his
was
a
recycled
speech.
Here
are
a
few
phrases
from
his
speech
-
"Let
me
forewarn
you,
this
is
a
recycled
speech.
Whenever
I
am
called
to
give
speeches
at
ypo
or
some
such
big
organisation,
I
use
this
speech.
It's
generic,
simple
and
makes
me
give
no
commitment
in
our
first
meeting.
Somewhat
like
the
corporate
world
itself."
Shahrukh
Khan
does
not
deny
using
her
phrases
but
he
has
not
done
anything
wrong
as
he
has
given
the
required
credit.
Before
reading
sentences
from
her
speech,
he
had
said,
"What
Rowling
so
aptly
described
in
her
Harvard
speech...
life
is
a
not
just
a
check
list
of
acquisitions...attainments...and
fulfillment.
Your
qualifications
and
CV
don't
really
matter.
Instead
life
is
difficult
and
complicated...and
beyond
anyone's
control...and
the
humility
to
know
that...by
respecting
your
failures
will
help
you
survive
it's
vicissitudes." This
clearly
shows
that
SRK
was
merely
quoting
Rowling's
lines
as
he
could
relate
to
her
past
miseries.
