MUMBAI: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has insisted he is “safe and happy” in India in a bid to end a controversy sparked by an article he wrote on being Muslim in the Hindu-majority country.
The piece led Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik to say that India should provide Khan with security. India's Home Secretary R.K. Singh responded curtly that Pakistan should look after its own citizens.
Reading out a lengthy statement to journalists late on Tuesday, Khan said his piece in the magazine Outlook Turning Points had taken an “unwarranted twist”.
“Nowhere does the article state or imply directly or indirectly that I feel unsafe, troubled or disturbed in India,” he said.
In the magazine piece, he wrote that he sometimes became “the inadvertent object of political leaders who choose to make me a symbol of all that they think is wrong and unpatriotic about Muslims in India”.
The Indian actor said he had occasionally been accused of bearing allegiance to Muslim-majority Pakistan, and had been urged by leaders at political rallies to leave India and return to what they called his “original homeland”.
Khan has been targeted by the Shiv Sena, a far-right Hindu nationalist party headquartered in Mumbai that has often pushed an anti-Pakistan and anti-Muslim agenda.
The Shiv Sena threatened cinemas showing his 2010 film ‘My Name is Khan’ after he spoke in favour of Pakistani cricketers playing in the Indian Premier League.
On Tuesday, Khan said it was “irksome” to have to clarify the “non-existent” issue sparked by his recent article.
“I would like to tell all those who are offering me unsolicited advice that we in India are extremely safe and happy. We have an amazing democratic, free and secular way of life.”
Khan emerged last week at the top of Forbes India's first Celebrity 100 list, based on income and popularity, after he raked in an estimated 37.7 million dollars last year.

Sure, in his own country when 100s of minorities are massacred he doesnt even bother to give a single statement. It tells you how seriously we take our minority, hazaras would be more than happy if baba rehman gives a statement in their favor.

You are quite right Kamran that it is a general perception in Indian Non Muslims(not only hindu) or you can say people throughout the world that Muslim give more prriorty to their religion than their country and they are not completely wrong.It has been my personal experience with one of my friend in hyderabad India that they supported Pakistan.Even in a survey in Pakistan, most Pakistani accepted they put religion ahead of country. Major Nidal Hasan case in US and People coming from foreigin country for Jihad purpose is another example of this.

Mr. Abdullah Hussain, in India, minorities are not considered secon class citizens, since in India minorities are in every field whether it is sports, business, art, politics, defense, science & technology and any other field, at very higher post, now-a-days our film industry is moving around 3 Khans (Aamir, SRK & Salman), moreover, Parsis, who are lowest among the minorities, are the healthiest community in India, 5-6 months back Parsi community have given an affidavit in Mumbai High Court

No one can deny what your saying and perhaps saying minorities are treated as second class citizens is not truly the case, but minorites in EVERY country are treated diferently. This is a phenomina known as racism here in the UK, religous intollerence in other countries. You can never tell whats in peoples hearts. Official policy and the peoples conduct are two different things. No country in the world can claim to be as fair as the UK in terms of racial equality but sadly even here there is racism.

First, learn some basic arithmetic. According to census 2011, Muslims in India number 147 million out of a total population of 1.2 billion, their percentage works out to about 13%. Next, SRK made his money in "Hindu" India where his Hindu fans paid good money to watch him. Except ONE film ("My name is Khan") in every one of his movies SRK has always played a Hindu hero !! And his wife is a Hindu ! His acting career is now in the doldrums, his movies in the last two years having flopped at the box office. He has long been overtaken in Bollywood by two other Khans - Aamir and Salman ! He therefore vented his frustration in the time honoured manner - play victimhood to the hilt ! Only now did SRK "realize" he was being persecuted for being a Muslim ! Far from gaining any sympathy from any quarter, including obscurantist mullahs, he was roundly condemned by everyone, from politicians to fellow actors and common citizens of India, both Hindus and Muslims. Now he sheepishly retracts and claims Muslims are safe and sound in India and that he himself had faced no problems in India for being a Muslim !
As for specious comment about Muslims not being "safe" in so called "dar ul harb" countries, this comment really applies to Pakistan. Having brutally dealt with minorities like Hindus and Christians (their numbers have been REDUCED from 11% in 1947 to a mere 2.5% in 2012) now the majority Sunni Punjabi fanatics following the Deoband seminary have unleashed a murderous war on fellow Muslims like Ahmedias and Shias. This, besides hunting and killing other ethnic Sunnis like Mohajirs, Sindhis and Pathans in Karachi. Let Pakistan prevent its own disintegration instead of showing fake sympathy towards Indian Muslims who are Indians first and last. enjoying complete freedom and legal rights along with Hindus.

Dont worry, no one in Pakistan takes Rehman Malik seriously either. India should do the same.
As far as Indian Muslims in India are concerned, I sincerely believe that it is India's internal issue. However, I do have an opinion. I work with Indians (both muslims and hindus) at several levels and one thing that I have gathered from them is that indian muslims tend to keep their seperate entity intact. They generally still have their own culture and own way of living and that irks some of the indian non-muslim sections and creates unease amongst the muslims and hindus. But no one really wants to talk about the elephant in the room. SRK simply pointed towards that elephant.

This statemen from SRK is proving again the amount of fear and pressure on hundres of millions of muslims (more than one third of india population- almost 40%) that indian government and other non muslim people are putting on them. SRK to save his life and hard earned money has to read such false statements written by indians under pressure. Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) has clearly said that darulharb muslims will be oppressed and will not find freedom. May SRK be protected by Mighty Allah who has always given each muslim millions of times more strength beauty and ability to excel even in darularb.

We love the khans here in Pakistan. All 4 of them - Shahrukh, Salman ( Sallu ), Aamir and Saif. But at the same time, these bollywood Khan's should never forget their primary principle of life - i.e. to serve fellow muslims. That the muslims are downtrodden in India is well known. Arundathi Roy, KP Nayyar, Jawed Naqwi have written about this many a times. Bollywood's own Mahesh Bhatt has tried championing for the cause of Muslims. The Khans need to do more. Help or atleast lobby through their fans and use their riches to secure freedom to the oppressed Kashmiris. Help muslims in India gain more freedom and if necessary seceed from India. Lets admit it, even if they lose their hindu fans, 200 million Pakistanis, 180 million muslims in India and another 180 million in Bangladesh will ensure they are never short fans.

As Indian working in US I came across many Pakistani folks and guess what they have same attitudes and beliefs as I do. The clearly one sees the facets of coin the more these illusions about other religions and ideologies fade away. If the world is perfect then you would not get the meaningless reactions from Indian politicians or Pakistani's. But you know what, it is good get these issues out. Makes a good discussion for rest of the common folks. By the way it is my personal opinion that Hindus and Muslims in India do have love-hate relationship which I some times compare with partners in a marriage. I bet most Muslims in India would stay back even if given a comparative chance in Pakistan like I said love and hate goes in hand. I bet they are safe.

This is very funny. Pakistanis are completely unaware of what these controversies really are. Shiv Sena's opposition to My name is khan was an obvious publicity stunt. There are many other such examples.
When it comes to controversies in india, nothing is as it seems.
By the way, nobody of any important has asked SRK to leave india. Rest is all bogus stuff.

Muslims are 16 % of population now, more than in 14% in 1947 after partition in India, they have with equal rights and this is by no stretch of imagination a downtrodden community, Compare plights of Hindus - down to 1% today from +16 after partition. The forced kidnappings and conversions...Please deal with your demons back home.

You are factually incorrect.. Muslim population in India is around 16 %.. SRK is married to a hindu by choice, he has non muslim names for his children by choice, he stays in India by choice and makes his millions by choice...what pressure are you talking about? Stop spreading juvenile conspiracy theories and concepts of muslims having more strength, beauty and ability.. Please respect all religions as great and leading to the same path and their followers as equal human beings.

Why you people put SRK in an embarrassing position? He is an Indian citizen and he has to live there. He is a Muslim by default and many segments in Hindu society of India have a skeptic view about their Muslim countrymen. So please let SRK live in India peacefully. he has to listen and bear many nonsenses but then this is what life is....!!!

Hi Arman,
Just to correct you, muslim population in India is 13.4%, and if accumulated totally about 70%-80% of your nation. And how they live in fear here, please let us worry about it. They are our brothers, we will take care of them. You better look after your economy and citizens.
And whatever I'm saying it's completely without any disrespect.

In the physiological manner, it is considered as inferiority complex. It is not just limited to muslims but in many people. Unfortunately it is more of a concern in Muslims. I can assure you if a person with inferiority complex enters a room of same ethnicity, that person will try to be aloof and tries to have his own identify. It is as simple as this.

@Asad You are somewhat true about Indian Muslim or Muslim in general. They try to keep them selves separate whether in India or somewhere else. That's why they don't get mingled with majority people. this is not the case with christians in India or Hindu's in Westen countries. They get mingled much better than Muslims.
In case off SRK you are wrong.These things are for common Indian.What happned with SRK has happened with Amitabh Bacchan as well. What else you need if you are super star in Hindu majority country and married to a hindu girl.
Is it possible in Pakistan for Hindu married to Muslim becomes a superstar. I think he ll really unsafe there.

We really neither have that big market for Sharukh in Pakistan nor he belongs to Pakistan. I have worked with many indian Muslims and Hindues for a long period and may conclude that Indian muslims are Indians but with very special identity- they can neither live among Pakistanies nor hindues. As far as Rehman Malik is concerned ..we really feel ashamed of his such statements... so we opologise for such irresponsible behaviour. We consider SRK a bollywood actor and nothing else.. He is indian and should remain Indian ...we dont want to own hin at allllllllllllllllllllllllll....
