Assam CM Himanta Biswas made headlines for his comments on bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan where he reportedly said that he does not know SRK nor he has heard of his movie ‘Pathaan’ during a press conference. Now, on Monday he clarified that he only knows film stars of his time.
"I know film starts of my time. I didn't know Shah Rukh. He sent a message & introduced himself- 'I'm Shah Rukh Khan. I want to speak to you'. I didn't have time then. So later at 2am, we spoke & I told him that there'll be no disturbance in Assam (regarding movie Pathaan)," Sarma has said.

On Saturday, while reacting to alleged protests by a right-wing outfit in Assam against the release of Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Pathaan', Sarma had said, "Who is Shah Rukh Khan? Why should we care? We already have many Shah Rukh Khans?" "I have not heard about any movie by the name of 'Pathaan' and neither do I have any time for it," he added.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan spoke to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, expressing concern about an incident in Guwahati at a theatre ahead of Pathaan's release.
On Sunday, the CM took to his official Twitter and informed that the actor called him at 2 am.
The Besharam Rang song from the movie Pathaan has been in controversy since its release. On Friday, several right-wingers allegedly vandalised cinema hall in Assam's Narengi and burned down posters of 'Pathaan'.
