No conversation about cricket in the country can happen without the mention of Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede stadium, and every mention of the stadium is incomplete without invoking the infamous fight that broke out there involving superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh was banned for five years from entering MCA premises, including the Wankhede Stadium, after he was involved in an altercation with security staff and officials of the cricket body in 2012. The ban was lifted three years later.

In an old appearance on Aap Ki Adalat, Shah Rukh explained how the incident transpired, and said that he was triggered by a word used by the security staff that was religious in nature. “Yes I was very angry and upset. My kids were there and I thought someone… Maybe they had a rule, that hatao yaha se. I told him, these are our kids and we are taking them. I just said this. There was a person there who said a word which I, as a Delhi person, felt like it was an abusive word. Even though the same word in Marathi is also rude. Thoda sa religious, galat tha woh (It was religious, it was wrong). I then lost my cool, main pagal hogaya and I went to hit him,” the superstar recalled.
