In a recent interview with CNN-IBN, SRK finally opens up about his relationship with PC and all the water that has flown under the bridge. Few Excerpts below:

“To me what is most disturbing is that a lady who has worked with me has been questioned and somewhere down the line has not been shown the respect that I show her, or to all women. I think it is disrespectful and I am extremely sorry about that, sorry means not because of the things that I have done but because she is a friend,” Khan said.

Speaking about the relationship they share, Shah Rukh said that she is extremely ‘close to his heart’ and they are very close friends.

Talking fondly about Priyanka he said, “She was a little girl who started her Miss World crowning with me. We have shared some of the nicest moments onscreen and off it. It is extremely unfortunate for me, you know, a friendship gets a little spoilt. ”

So what do you think people? SRK stands by his "Little Girl" hand in hand just like in the picture above! ;)

Why the hell are we having the same posts on pinkvilla again and again. There have been countless posts about SRK and Priyanka and this picture has been posted before. If anyone has pictures of SRK and PC in a compromising position then please print them and confirm otherwise please shut the hell up. I am sick and tired of reading the same bullshit over and over again.
Princess Ruchi - fine you hate PC who cares? Go and live your life man, all this negativity cannot be good for you. Why make posts about her? you and pinkvilla boy are the first to comment on every post of hers. Why don't you avoid posts about her if you hate her so much? Peace.

Did you know that Yaseen, his longtime bodyguard, has left him, because of Priyanka affair?
He has refused to work on for SRK under these digusting conditions.

@ Nabby H, exactly!

Sorry for the long post!

@Princess Ruchi, I think what Fiza is trying to say is that the photo you've posted with the write-up brews more controversy that needs to be left alone now. Of course, you have all the right to but in terms of fueling the controversy further (as you can see by some comments below that specifically talk about the photo and take it out of context), this picture does a lot. You must have noticed that people commenting on PV have the tendency to take things out of context and bring in irrelevant issues that just leaves a sane mind baffled.

@Bollywood-lover, good comment! When the whole controversy started, I posted various times about how Shahrukh was linked to Juhi at a time when they made a good pair and worked in some good films. People absolutely bought that whole link-up only to be proved wrong later on. Now they are friends and business partners. Nonetheless, that does not mean he won't have an affair in life. What I don't think happened is the affair between Shahrukh and Priyanka, and I have my reasons for believing so. I'm not a blind fan and I do not think neither are saints or are flawless. I gave the story the benefit of my doubt and I came to the conclusion due to:

- As you said BW lover, Shahrukh has seen Priyanka start, flourish and attain success as an actress. Essentially, he's seen her grow up. This is something I thought of when the whole controversy started. He's crowned her during Miss India and has known her from the get-go of her career.
- Shahrukh speaks in a very loving way about all his co-stars. If people were not aware of Shahrukh and Kajol's friendship, I'm sure they'd have speculated these two to be in a relationship as well. Even last year at an awards ceremony, Shahrukh kissed Katrina on the cheek. I do think that he has the power to cut out such unnecessary "acts" when he's the anchor and he should. As much as I appreciate Shahrukh's work, that was unnecessary. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that he's very comfortable with all his actresses which is taken wrongly by the news tabloids most of the time. For heaven's sake, when Shahrukh planted a kiss on Katrina's cheek, the news tabloids wrote up headlines stating "Shahrukh kisses Katrina". Before you read the news or watch the show, you'd think that they kissed. As can be demonstrated through PV users, a large section of people do not read the actual contents of the news but go gaga just by reading the headlines.
- Gauri seems to be a woman of substance. I remember some users commenting (early on in the controversy) how Gauri has to suck it up and live with it due to financial reasons. First of all, Gauri is NOT financially dependent on Shahrukh. She is the co-owner of Red Chillies and other businesses with Shahrukh so let's get that out of the way. She even has her own line of business. Yes, I agree that she established herself as a business with the help of the money that Shahrukh brought in initially but she is no longer dependent financially on him. Secondly, she does not seem like a woman who would HAVE TO suck it up. I see her as one of the most powerful ladies in Bollywood who can pull any string behind the scenes and things would happen the way she wishes for them to happen.
- I can understand Gauri's anger at the controversy. This is common amongst women. No matter how successful you are, how beautiful or rich you are, the fear of losing your lover never goes away 100%. All women out there who have been in serious relationships, can you deny that you have never been jealous of another woman's admiration for your lover, or who's gotten your lover's attention for split second even if it was completely meaningless? I can only imagine Gauri's frustration at such news. Gauri and Shahrukh are not accustomed to dealing with such rumours (they are a dignified couple) and have been scapegoat of controversies only a couple of times.
- What really got this controversy going is Priyanka's admiration for Shahrukh, there rehearsals till late night for the Zee Awards show, etc. I love Priyanka as an actress but her blushing at the very name of Shahrukh's name being mentioned was irritating. Shahid was playing along with it and I honestly think that was just to make the episode more interesting. It was nonetheless, irritating to watch. As I said, I don't think I can find a single person (celebrity and commoner) who I appreciate over all but does not come without minor annoying traits.
-Priyanka is really friendly with all her costars. She was linked to Ranbir Kapoor briefly during Anjaana Anjaani but it quickly dissolved as new rumours of Ranbir-Nargis cropped up. But if you look at the pics, you'd think they are in a relationship. I think she needs to now learn (if she wants to seriously avoid these misconceptions) how to be friendly, yet come off just as professionals with her co-stars.
-Another side to the story, Karan Johar did not blast Priyanka for the affair controversy but what the article entailed about star wives and KJo, apparently stated by one of Priyanka's friends.
-All seems to be well in the Khan family life. The couple is seen together at almost every celebrity party/function and they genuinely look happy together now that the controversy has been put to rest.

what so about controversial about the pic & post?
just tell me one thing
Does n t PV know about this post or picture? if they have posted this post than what s the problem here? i don't see any :/

It seems with the CNN interview SRK has made ​​a big mistake. Now the media have heated up the love affair story again. And all reports sound very skeptical.
The only one who will be happy are attention-seeking Priyanka and her disgusting PR department.
And for those who claim that their Twitter behavior is striking. You are absolutely right.
I 'm curious how long Gauri still endures. Very sad!

Bollywood-Lover's picture

@ PrincessRuchi

Actually I am not defending him cause I have fan shades on or I am a blind fan, far from it. I do criticize him when I think criticism is required. It is just that I have come to know him very well and I can say with 100% conviction and confidence that there was no affair! His show of love towards Priyanka Chopra is just a part of his general love and respect towards women. It is also cause he has seen Priyanka Chopra grow with respect to her career from the time of her Miss India days when she was just 17 and he was the one who crowned them all. So he treats her like a special friend in whose career he was involved in at an early stage as he crowned her during Miss India. I am sure he has the same affection for Lara Dutta and Diya Mirza too as he crowned them too during Miss India, too bad he doesn't get to work with them a lot and we don't get to see his affection for them.

By the way, he was linked with Juhi Chawla too early on in his career. But he didn't let what is written in the tabloids and gossip columns damage their relationship and today they are still great friends and even business partners. What's more, early on in his career he was linked to some other actress in a very bad way in a tabloid magazine. Apparently he had gotten so angry at such false reports that he had gone to the home of the journalist who had written that report and had threatened him in front of his whole family. For that he had even spent a few hours in a jail as the journalist and his family had filed a police complaint against him. His extreme anger at that time was cause he was newly married and found such false reports a total disrespect to his new bride Gauri Khan, and also cause he was young and young people tend to get angry and emotional very quickly. His more settled reaction right now to such false reports is because he has matured and now knows better how to control his emotions and anger. Plus he has children now, so he has to be careful in how he reacts. The Wankhede Stadium incident was one of those times where he again couldn't control his anger cause of the bad treatment of his children. We all know how that played out in the media and he was put on a sort of trial and it all had a bad effect on his children. So he wants to be more careful in how he reacts and that is why he has maintained a dignified silence for the most part when it comes to the affair rumours.

I highly recommend that you watch the video below from 3:15 to 5:00, your views might change! :)

Apologies for such a long post.

@fiza khan,

Telling me I shouldn't have posted that picture is not valid. It's not like I have doctored this photo or many of the other photos where srk is openly displaying affection on PC. Like someoe has said below, you should not put Urself in a position where u can be easily misunderstood. SRK was never misunderstood before this, not even when he kissed kat on the cheek on stage, have u ever stopped to wonder why and after so many years?

@ Bollywood-lover,

Whether or not u want to believe I'm a fan or not is upto u. I have gone for the first day first shows of every SRK movie inspire of being in the states. Neways I don't need to explain myself. Like i said, I have my own reasons for believing in the affair. I really appreciate u standing up for OUR idol. Maybe if you look at this whole controversy by removing the fan shades, it would appear much more clearer to u.

I Also love Bebo, but I recently made a post on her about her Saif-gushing. If something annoys me, no matter how much I am a fan of that person, I will voice it out. These celebs have been created only by our fan power people. We shouldn't get brainwashed by them.

Sorry if I offended everyone here

Xoxo

@ PrincessRuchi

You are talking as if you have proof that SRK and Priyanka Chopra had an affair. If both SRK and Priyanka Chopra's denying it strongly and Gauri's multiple happy appearances with her husband since then won't satisfy you, then I don't know what will. Angels coming down from the Heavens and saying it wasn't true? Also, I am sorry but you don't seem to be as big a fan of SRK as you claim to be. Anybody who has followed SRK very closely over the years and knows him well can tell that this rumour was created to malign him and it has no truth whatsoever. Those who believe it to be true actually don't know SRK very well, else they wouldn't have believed it.

You also say that you posted exactly what was written in the link you provided. Well may be you should have watched the video in that link too and corrected what was written. You used that picture without context and also the last sentence is by you:

"So what do you think people? SRK stands by his "Little Girl" hand in hand just like in the picture above! ;)"

That is why I said creating controversy where none exists. A rumour created by mischief makers and spread by mischief makers!

Fiza_Khan's picture

@Princess Ruchi, if that was the case, then I am sorry but what was your reason to post this photo and give a controversial caption? Anyways, forget it.

Regardless of the rumor and PC being "outcasted" by Star wives, Priyanka Chopra is having the best phase on her career, with Blockbuster 100 crores films like Don 2 and Agneepath, the latter having won her critical acclaim, and the blockbuster and critically acclaimed Barfi, where her performance as the autistic Jhilmil has won PC SO MUCH applaud! Her debut Single "In My City" has gone triple platinum in India, is raved overseas and has become the official theme song for American Football 2012, and she has the BEST Music Agency in the business managing her!!! Her second single, Erase is just WOW!!!!! With upcoming projects like Krishh 3, Zanjeer, Gunday, Milan Talkies and SLB's Biopic of Mary Kom in PC's kitty, this actress is just climbing the ladder of success higher and higher and higehr!!!! PC say bye bye to your hater!!!! Priyanka Chopra is truly a STAR that is shining bright!!! Keep on doing your thing girl!

the indian media are annoying at times. From the picture, you can clearly see that SRK is helping PC get into into the car as they're surrounded by photographers. He's just being a gentlemen. Just leave their friendship in peace

he spoke about how his kids deal with these rumours about him and do not believe them like gay rumours and all others, what he did to send aryan away was a very great behaviour of wisdom, but do not worry this rumour is still alive only on this site, all the people know it was false.

it seems I will stop commenting or reading comments on pink villa because dealing with PR against SRK needs so much time, I and normal people do not have it. how can we forget that this rumour began here, now I realised what SRK meant when he asked his fans and people not to reply to rumours as if they did, they will not have their private lives, he is true. post that pv.

Firstly i can talk on my behalf what u said about me being Bebo lover and PC hater and blah blah is your assumption and your opinion about me ok you don t know me personally so i would appreciate not to make judgments on my opinions and choices here.
secondly if you think Ruchi edited the post and it's against PC why don t you come with a post of the SAME interview in favor of PC and let s see if PV post it or not. PV posted Ruchi post after moderating it, it s not that she came up with this story of her own she also posted the credits in the end
Thirdly if you want to bring Kareena down in every PC s post go ahead it's your opinion in the end you can do whatever you want to do so do I. but i would never bring PC down in ANY of Kareena's post or vice versa unless or until it's a comparison in a post!!!

if you think this post is irresponsible why don t you complain PV for that what's the point of bringing down Kareena and some users here?

It was more than just a "friendship". People who are close to both stars (meaning staff) knows it and obviously cannot speak about it.
Oh well ... time will tell.

This is my THIRD attempt at commenting. HOpe it gets posted.

1. The verbage I have posted in this article is word-to-word as it appears in the article. All of you are welcome to follow the link provided in the source box for further clarification. There are 2 parts to this story-an article and a video clip. The part where he mentions "friends" is in the video clip, but I have just posted expcerpts from the article and the link for those of you who wish to watch the video instead. I have no reason to MISCONSTRUCT anything.

2. For those who think I'm bringing this up now, FYI--this article appeared on firstpost.com on Nov 29th, and I posted it on PV on Dec1st.

3. I am one of SRKs biggest fans. He is the true Badshaah of Bollywood, both personally and professionally. Being a fan, it broke my heart that his pristine married life was troubled because of Priyanka Chopra. It hurt me that Shahrukh, someone I idolize so much, indulged in something like this. Someone who is so well read, so well brought up and so grounded, indulged in such obvious misconduct with Priyanka that led to rise of these "rumors". Yes i do believe in this affair. I have my own reasons for doing so. I also think his behaviour with Priyanka was much more diff than that with other actresses. Yes I do hate Priyanka Chopra. And its because I love SRK. But for an affair, both parties are at fault and I strongly condemn their joint behaviour.

A special mention for PINKVILLA_BOY---Thanks so much buddy!!!! :)

Lastly, please please take it out of ur head that being a fan of xyz has nething to do with making a post on abc. I surf PV for leisure and have no vested interest in anything....

Hope this helps. Thanks for an active discussion :)
