SRK responds to CBFC’s objection to “intercourse” word

Shah Rukh Khan has responded to the controversy that has been created by CBFC’s chairperson, Pahlaj Nihalani over the use of the word “intercourse” in the trailer of ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’.

Khan was cited in Bollywood Hungama saying, “I think I am below 18, so I cannot vote (laughed). It’s just the beginning of the trailers, the entire film is left. On a serious note, neither I, nor anyone in the film – Imtiaz, Irshad (lyricist Irshad Kamil) sahab, Pritam, Anushka, Red Chillies, writers or anyone would use any disrespectful word, that hurts a family or anyone’s sentiment. We are yet to send the film to the censors and they should watch the whole film to decide. Maybe, out of context, he (Pahlaj Nihalani) did not like the words and if he didn’t like it then we will change it. When they will watch the film and understand the full context, hopefully, they will understand.”

‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ releases on 4th August 2017.
