Nobody is scared

Shah Rukh Khan was a part of a panel discussion during Magnetic Maharashtra event that took place in Mumbai recently. The actor explained that majority of Bollywood stars stayed silent on Padmaavat controversy not out of fear but to avoid hurting the film's chances at the box office. He said the perception that the industry does not unite in times of crisis is wrong. Shah Rukh said, "Sometimes, when people are on an uprise, you should just stand back. Nobody is scared, fearful or hiding their own skin as is said about Bollywood stars, 'Oh these people just want to earn money and not do anything for society.' No… We love our society, we make entertaining films and we want our society to be happy.” The actor said one needed to get used to the fact that in the era of information technology, it will become increasingly difficult to stop an idea from spreading. He said no matter how much you stop them, creative people will continue making films. They will speak what they want. Sometimes there could be troubles, but they won't be scared.
