Shahrukh Khan Blasts The Indian Media! Tells Them To Learn Something From Their Western Counterparts
Shahrukh Khan lashes out at the Indian media for hyping things up just to make it sound sensational. Shahrukh Khan advised Indian journalists to learn something from their western counterparts.
The Baadshah of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan came down heavily on the Indian media by saying that news anchors and journalists must learn how to behave while asking questions and not interrupt others while it's their turn to ask questions. SRK also targeted news anchors and said they need to "get over their wonderful, newly-gained stardom."
SRK
said,
"Here,
I
want
to
tell
the
journalists
that
it
is
not
your
time,
so
can
you
please
keep
quiet.
Can
I
listen
to
those
two
people
you
are
asking
questions
to?
Now,
there
are
two
journalists
on
the
TV
screen
and
both
are
talking
over
each
other
and
the
panelists,
sitting
there,
are
not
talking.
It
is
a
strange
space..."
Shahrukh Khan also advised Indian journalists to learn how to behave, from their western counterparts. "Why don't journalists here behave the way their counterparts do in the West? You see journalists asking pointed questions to presidential candidates fearlessly and with facts. If the other person interrupts, they would stop and say, 'It is his time'," said SRK.
The Raees star also criticised the media for picking up things from social media and making it a huge issue. "Why do you want to join the bandwagon of faceless people on social media who just want to say a thing and become famous?" Not just this, Shahrukh Khan was in a bashing spree and further lashed out at the media for taking things of of context on purpose just to make it sound sensational. He said "always (the media) going to utilise snippets, bytes, pieces and words to somehow bolster your point of view?"
If you thought that Shahrukh Khan was done with his media bashing, the actor further pulled the Meryl Streep Vs Donald Trump issue. He said why should Bollywood stars speak out about things which is not affecting them? "What Meryl Streep spoke about at the Golden Globe Awards is related to what's happening in the US, something she believes in, and has a comment to make. Before any journalist starts comparing, is there a similar situation here that you want me to speak about? No. If there is a situation that is different, I am sure people who want to speak will speak differently,"
Shahrukh Khan finally ended his rant by saying, "Why would Indian actors speak about a situation that does not exist? If there is an agenda and situation you want us to speak on, then you ask us about it and, obviously, we do speak."
