Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, faces a police probe and has been banned for five years from Mumbai’s main cricket stadium on Thursday after a furious late-night row with staff at the ground, officials said. The actor, who co-owns the Indian Premier League (IPL) team, Kolkata Knight Riders, took a group of youngsters including his daughter, Suhana, on to the pitch of the Wankhede Stadium after a match on Wednesday night. A security guard tried to stop them from playing, leading the multi-millionaire actor to argue angrily for 10-15 minutes before finally giving up and leaving the stadium. “Security officials told him to leave but Shah Rukh Khan started the brawl,” said Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) secretary, Nitin Dalal. “He entered the ground half an hour after the game. The officers told him that this was not the right time. He misbehaved and he used foul language.” Khan denied reports he was drunk. He says he lost his temper when he saw security guards pushing his children. Dalal said the MCA had filed a police complaint and would ban the cricket-crazy star from future attendance at the Wankhede Stadium. “He’ll not be allowed for any match – Test match, one-day international or any T20 or IPL matches hereafter. “That is what we have decided,” said MCA treasurer, Ravi Savant, soon after the incident. Savant said MCA president, Vilasrao Deshmukh, was among the officials and security personnel “abused” by Khan, adding that the stadium ban would be “for life”. However, on Friday Mumbai Cricket Association official Vilasrao Deshmukh said that Khan would be banned from the stadium for five years. The sweaty and dishevelled appearance of Khan, one of the most popular stars of the nation’s prolific Bollywood film industry, was a far cry from the carefully managed image presented through his advertising and acting roles. The 46-year-old was embroiled in another ugly row in January after a female director accused him of assaulting her husband at a late-night party. Khan has also been summoned to appear before a court in Jaipur later this month after he was seen smoking at the city’s main cricket stadium, in violation of anti-smoking laws. Balbir Punj, a senior leader of India’s political Bharatiya Janata Party, said Khan was an icon and public figure who “should know how to behave in public”. He referred to an incident last month that saw Khan detained by US immigration authorities for questioning on arrival at a New York airport. “When he was humiliated in America, the entire country stood by him. “He should respect others and the law must take its course,” Punj said. Khan’s agent was unavailable for comment yesterday. – Sapa-AFP
