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.

Nana Patekar intervened and secured Shah Rukh's release from jail, an act that marked a turning point for the young actor.",
