It has been in the news recently that King Khan is mad with the performance of Kolkata Knight Riders, in the IPL. In a recent interview, published on Rediff Shah Rukh Khan has put to rest all rumours about a rift between Kolkata Knight Riders captain Sourav Ganguly, and himself.
He said "Sourav and I are good friends. There is no problem between Sourav, John & me," he says.
"Certain sections of the press have misquoted me on this. I do not think that I need to justify that we are a team. I am too old in this business of winning and losing. I do not think that I need someone coming and telling me about anti-corruption after 40 days into the tournament. I own the Knight Riders and I have paid them to win. Now, if they are losing, does that mean that I am paying them to lose? "
"There is more to life than just winning. I read somwhere that I was kicking chairs. I have seen too many victories and losses, and I'm too old in this game to react like this," he continues. "When we won, it was said 'Prince and King ruled.' Now that we are not doing well, they assume that somthing must me wrong between Sourav and me. I would like to clarify that nothing is wrong."
"Saurav has sent me messages asking me to clarify to all that we are friends. We are not fighting, the team is not going to be sold. John is not angry with Sourav. Sourav is not angry with me. I am not kicking chairs. There are no issues. Yes, I do have certian issues with the IPL on the code of conduct. That needs to be clarified. Only then will I go to the matches."
My take on it would be, if SRK is mad with them for not playing well, its justified!! But i'm sure by now SRK himself knows, that its a long term investment and his pick will bring rewards in the near future. So, why bother with a few crores when there are billions to make :-)

Yes, why bother with a few crores when there are billions to make! Try telling Shahrukh that. He has not experienced defeat in life.
