Shah Rukh Khan, the bollywood badshah who was anchoring the Indian Premier League(IPL) awards function in Mumbai recently, has put the ace spinner Harbhajan Singh in a soup by eliciting a ‘Bhangra to langda hota hai(Bhangra is lame) remark from him on the stage.
In fact, a Punjabi group ‘Punjab Heritage and Culture Society’ has taken strong objection to remark and demanded an unconditional apology from the cricketer. According to president of the association Mr. Gurminder Singh Siddhu, if Bhajji did not tender an apology for insulting the Punjabi culture and vibrant people of the state, they would file a case against the ace spinner.
Mr. Guminder says that by the remarks, Harbhajan had made mockery of their cultrue and also hurt the feelings of Punjabis. However, others like Navjot Singh Siddhu does not hold to this view and say that the remark should be taken in a sporting manner and not made a big issue to corner the cricketer.
In any case the remark was just an off the cuff remark on the stage and not a considered statement given in an interview.
