New Delhi, Aug 20 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t seem to shy away when it comes to expressing his sentiments for the nation.
Describing his nationality, Shah Rukh tweeted: “I am half Hyderabadi (mom) half Pathan(Dad), some Kashmiri (grandmom). Born in Delhi, live in Mumbai. Have a punjabi wife and own Kolkata (India Premier League) team. Indian at heart (sic).”
The 44-year-old is currently shooting in Hyderabad and feels nostalgic with his visit to the city after 12 years.
“Flew into Ramoji Rao in Hyderabad… last I shot here was ‘Badshah’, some 12 years ago… time flies… and how nice to be here,” he posted.
Shiv Sena had hit out at the actor, who is also the co-owner of IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, for his comments on Pakistani cricketers.
