An old video of actor Shah Rukh Khan has resurfaced on social media, revealing how veteran actor Nana Patekar helped him get out of jail in the early 1990s. Shah Rukh recounted the incident at Tehelka’s Think 2012 event, admitting that his behavior during the confrontation was unacceptable and that the experience changed him. The video shows Shah Rukh, then still establishing himself in Bollywood, threatening a journalist after an article he had recently watched with his wife, Gauri, upset her.
Carrying a ceremonial sword gifted by his father-in-law, an army officer, Shah Rukh confronted the journalist, who had published an article linking him romantically with one of his co-stars. The journalist explained that the article was a joke, but Shah Rukh, feeling threatened, decided to take the weapon and confront him. Despite the journalist's explanation, Shah Rukh carried the sword to the journalist's house, where he was eventually arrested by the police.
Nana Patekar intervened and secured Shah Rukh's release from jail, an act that marked a turning point for the young actor.
