Bollywood badshah Shah Rukh Khan Wednesday refused to categorically state whether he had slapped Shirish Kunder or not but said the reportage on the incident was affecting his kids.

'Lots of things are being said about my life in news channels but the stuff which you put up in the channels are not the whole truth. This is embarrassing at times as I have a 14-year-old son and an 11-and-a-half year old daughter,' said Shah Rukh, who was in Kolkata to address a programme.

The Bollywood badshah felt it was embarrassing for a father to explain certain issues to his children.

'Every morning it becomes very difficult to explain to your children and it becomes embarrassing as a father, as a brother or as elder son of the family to explain about what is stated,' he told reporters.

Shah Rukh reportedly roughed up editor-filmmaker Shirish, the husband of his former friend Farah Khan, in the wee hours of Monday during Sanjay Dutt's success party for 'Agneepath(2012)'.

'Bollywood stories are presented in a larger than life way... I have read the headlines. Yeah, some of them have not happened and some of them might have happened, but I would like to keep it to myself,' he remarked.

Describing Farah as a very old friend, Shah Rukh regretted the reports that have been published about his differences with her.

'I have heard things that have been stated about us and it's very difficult for people to sit down and read things in the house. In our house, the kids call her Farah aunty. It's really sad when for last two years people say she said this and that... None of that is happening,' he said.

However, he sounded hopeful of settling the differences.

'We can resolve our issues... certain issues we can resolve with hugs and happiness and I want to keep it personal,' he said.

Earlier in Mumbai too he was evasive about the fracas.

'Did I tell you that there was a fight... no... so I will not tell anything about the patch up also,' Shah Rukh told reporters at a pre-nuptial ceremony of Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia Dsouza. The actor reached the function in the wee hours of Wednesday.

The truce between Shah Rukh and Shirish was reportedly initiated by Farah's brother Sajid Khan and filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala.

Shirish, Farah, Sajid and producer Nadiadwala met Shah Rukh at his house Mannat, where all of them sorted out the issue.

After the patch up, Shirish had told IANS that their frienship has become stronger than ever.

Why the hell are we so bothered about actor's personal life? I never understood it and media keeps igniting it bringing in exaggerated news from wherever they get it. But SRK well done. I am an SRKian but I say that to every actor and actress who wants their privacy even if it includes my not so faves.

Lot of us understand where he is coming from about his kids (and being their father he has every right to protect them), But why don't SRK understand that while making silly comments regarding other actors like "chote chote khan" etc other actors and their family members also get offended especially I am talking about Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgan, Akshay Kumar etc who also has kids( and who doesn't even use them as his pawns)... And what about the things he say and does at the award functions like flirting and saying that he and his son think Madhuri is Sexy...etc won't his kids be watching those...I feel like he always bring his kids and he tries to play this emotional thing especially using his kids...Which I don't like as they shouldn't be used as some shield or pawns...And this thing is not just applicable for SRK for any actor who does this...Also please try to protect your kids from reading those crappy things, as Indian media is one of the cheapest, who can stoop to any level, please protect your children...and if you can crack jokes on other actors in the name of humor please have the courage to accept them too when done by others...I really respect SRK's family values but at times I feel that he misuses them...Just my 2cents and please no negative attacks as I just stated my POV..:))2012-02-02 07:11:22

We and media forget quiet often that Actors have life too, they need that space that we have to vent out. We get too personal at times, leaving actors in embarrassment.

SRk knows he doesn't need to say anything..certain things need to be kept in private while others are using the same thing to catch some cheap attention..
