New Delhi: Kolkata Night Sleepers owner and Bollywood’s leading actor, SRK, has sparked a debate here in the nation’s capital when he went public with his support for Pakistani players in IPL.
“I truly believe they (Pakistani players) should have been chosen. They are the best T20 players; they are the champions; they are wonderful; they are beautiful; they are charming; they are irresistible.”, the star actor told the media*****.
Amidst media speculations the question of why Mr Khan himself did not bid for any Pakistani players for Night Sleepers side remains unanswered.
Earlier, the IPL auction had left the nation divided (or so NTV’s Bardha Bhatt claims) when all of the teams refused to bid for any Pakistani players. On one side are people who think the teams did the right thing by excluding the Pakistanis. The other side, The Mockalist observes, had found no takers till Mr Khan with his characteristic ignorance about anything but Kiran Joker’s movie scripts convened the press conference today morning.
When reached for a comment on his team owner’s remarks, Dada informed The Mockalist that he does not share Mr Khan’s views.
“Those are his thoughts. As a team owner it is his money and up to him to decide on which players he should pick up for the side.” Dada told The Mockalist. “After Nicky Bonting’s withdrawal, this is like an icing on the cake for me. Boom Boom was eyeing the captaincy. With our coach’s strategy of picking up the worst player in the side to be the captain, I must tell you Boom Boom was giving me tough competition.”
Bollywood reacts
While we wait for more comments from the cricket fraternity, B town was quick to respond to King Khan’s latest slip of tongue.
Garib Khan who is on a vacation after the success of his latest movie 3 Actors told The Mockalist that he is hurt to see that his movie Sitaare Zameen Par had little effect on the perpetrators of IPL. In a post made in his blog the shorter Khan said that it is high time that Indians should learn to accept people with mental disabilities. How ever, he refused to reveal who he meant to be mentally disabled, King Khan or Pakistani players.
Kiran Joker released a statement clarifying confusion regarding King Khan’s intentions. He said SRK knows how to separate cricket from Bollywood and it is ridiculous to the point of stupidity to link the support for Pakistani Players with the release of his new movie Myself King Khan. The movie is set to release in Pakistan and Middle east countries.
***** The Mockalist apologizes for its correspondent’s lack of familiarity with some of the adjectives King Khan used to further describe Pakistani players. At this point we can only reveal that some of these words sounded very colloquial to the state of California. This correspondent is suspended from The Mockalist pending investigation. In his defence, though, he presented some snippets of Mr Khan’s undecipherable mumble which vaguely read “Afraidi’s hair..” and “Shoiab’s shoulders..”
