Sad days ahead for all Shah Rukh Khan fans. He has been banned from entering Mumbai’s Wankhede Cricket Stadium for five years.

Everybody knows what happened during an IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders (the latter is owned by SRK).

In case you don’t, well, in a nutshell, the king of Bollywood had a tiff with a security official in the stadium as the match went on, and the consensus is that the security man was correct in stopping him and his kids stepping on to the ground during the match.

SRK held a press conference to give the world his take on the matter. However, till last reports came in, he had been banned from walking into the stadium’s premises for five years.

Hmm… who is going to be the next king of Bollywood?
