When in 2013, Sonia Gandhi remote controlled UPA government was ruling, there were many cases of intolerance. All Girl band Pragassh was banned (read here: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/05/kashmir-all-female-rock-group-disband) , Kamal Hassan's film 'Vishwaroopam' was banned due to protest from muslims, CNN IBN (when secular Rajdeep Sardesai was its head) anchor asked Shahrukh Khan @iamsrk about rising intolerance.
He just avoided it by saying that I am actor. When anchor further pushed Shahrukh Khan for speaking all girls band which was targetted by Kashmiri muslim fanatics, he just said I don't want to have specific chatter and talk about things which are religious and politics. So you can talk to me about my films. Generically I would say that yes, I am artist and I support freedom of expression.
Anchor again pushed Shahrukh Khan to say about intolerance but Shahrukh Khan diplomatically again avoided question by saying I speak about work that I know better.
