It`s officially Shah Rukh Khan`s world and we are living in it. While King Khan continues to rule our hearts, we wonder how many hearts in Bollywood he must have broken. If you`re guessing this one is about SRK and his alleged link-ups, you`re in for some hot Bollywood gossip. We bring to you a perfect throwback article to when the actor broke his silence on his love affairs with Priyanka Chopra, Kajol, and Juhi Chawla.
You read the names right. Shah Rukh Khan was allegedly linked-up with these three beautiful actresses. Reports even say Shah Rukh and Priyanka Chopra had a midnight Nikaah while he was still married to Gauri Khan. The news affected his married life, so much so, that Gauri asked SRK not to ever work with PeeCee. And if you have noticed, Shah Rukh and Priyanka`s last collaboration was Don 2. Everything after that went downhill.
Now that`s not all. Some reports also suggest Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, who make the best romantic pair on-screen, also had something brewing between the two off-screen. It even caused havoc in Kajol and Ajay Devgn`s marriage. There was a brief period when Ajay was not cordial with SRK. He indirectly admitted the same on Koffee With Karan. 
Amidst all these rumored controversies, Shah Rukh Khan finally broke his silence on being allegedly linked up with his co-stars Priyanka Chopra and Kajol. In one of his old interviews, when he was asked about certain magazines sensationalizing his extra-marital affairs, he straight up refused for any of these to be true. He said the minute anyone sees him on a magazine cover or anywhere posing with a woman, `hideous comments` follow him everywhere.
Talking about rumored link-ups with his Baazigar co-actors Kajol and Juhi Chawla, King Khan referred to them as `disgusting.` He said, “Kajol & me? Come on, she’s just a child, Aunt Tanuja’s daughter, my little sister. Even Gauri likes them.”
According to a Reddit post, he further elaborated, “I work with Juhi, Madhuri, Manisha, Shilpa, Sonali, Nagma, Suchitra Krishnamurthy, Urmila…I didn’t go to bed with them; I didn’t go to bed with Kajol.”
Talking about the Don actors, SRK denied the link-up rumors in a blink and said they`re just good friends. Back in 2012 during the promotion of his movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan, he spoke up about his relationship with the Krrishh actress. "To me, what is most disturbing, is the fact that a lady who`s worked with me has been questioned and somewhere down the line, not being shown the kind of respect I show her or all the women. I think it`s a little disrespectful, I`m extremely sorry about that. Sorry means...it`s not directly because of anything I`ve done but the fact that she`s my friend. She`s one of the closest friends I have and very close to my heart and always will be. I just feel sometimes when things are said, I needed to step back from them because I find it very banal, very small, and very menial," SRK said.
The actor further added, "You know, it just tends to spoil relationships that people share while working together. She`s a little girl who started her Miss India crowning with me and or Miss World crowning with me, I don`t remember. We`ve shared some of the nicest moments on screen as friends and it`s unfortunate. It`s extremely unfortunate and sad for me to think that you know, a friendship gets a little soiled.”
Well, that`s Shah Rukh Khan for you - witty, candid, yet politically correct. As we said, it is King Khan`s world and we`re living in it. Happy birthday Shah Rukh. We love you!
