SRK Reflects on His Encounters with the Underworld
In another recent viral video, Shah Rukh Khan shared a personal account of his past dealings with the underworld. The actor spoke about how the Hindi film industry was a target for mafia influences. He revealed, “Hindi film industry is the easiest industry to take on right now. We are the largest producers of films in the world. So they (the mafia) would back a film, and say ‘I want you in my film’.”
SRK elaborated, saying that mafia members would often approach him and insist he sign films with their backing. He recalled asking, “Who’s the producer?” and being told to speak with the person they sent. According to SRK, actors faced a difficult choice: sign the film under pressure or take the risk of refusing.
When asked if he had ever been threatened, SRK confirmed that he had faced such situations numerous times, saying, “Oh, yes, I’ve had it on many occasions.” However, he added, “You either decide to accept the threat and protect yourself, or you take your chances.” For a period of time, he had security provided by the police.
Bollywood Gains Official Industry Status
In 1998, Bollywood was officially granted industry status by the Indian government under the leadership of Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Sushma Swaraj. This designation made the film industry eligible for loans from financial institutions, solidifying its role as a key sector in India’s economy.
