Shahrukh Khan on Tuesday found himself in the centre of a controversy after a senior Cricket Board official on Tuesday alluded that cricket matches were being used by stars to promote films but the superstar hit back saying he does not have to depend on other’s platforms to push his films.  Khan said he was sad and disappointed over the remarks by Ratnakar Shetty that stars using the platform of cricket for promoting films is “slightly debatable” in the wake of his latest film Om Shanti Om coming up for discussion during a chat with TV commentator Rameez Raja at the recent Jaipur ODI cricket match between India and Pakistan.

Khan said he is not going to watch cricket matches in future if it has not gone well with the BCCI. Khan said he had gone to watch the Jaipur watch for the love of the sport.

“My kids are fans of Sachin, Dhoni and Sourav,” he added.  “God has given me enough. I don’t crave publicity,” Khan said.
