Shah Rukh Khan got into a spot of trouble for his speech at the launch of Gunjan Jain’s book. When he was addressing the author, who was sitting in the audience, she got up. The actors saw her and said, “Please don’t stand up, even if it’s politically incorrect, girls need to lie down when I talk to them.” He then added, smiling, “I am joking. Don’t take me seriously. I know just for this I am going to be in trouble now.” While many in the auditorium laughed, lawyer-activist Abha Singh (wife of lawyer-activist YP Singh) was offended. She tweeted, “Attending a book launch in Taj where SRK said something derogatory about women. Hope media takes it up.” Yes, this is the same Abha who has been in the news for taking off on Salman Khan in connection with his court case.
