Aamir didn't have to apologise: Shah Rukh

It seems that Shah Rukh Khan has buried the hatchet with Aamir Khan ever since the "Ghajini" star apologised to his children for making fun of him. Shah Rukh said he has no hard feelings for his colleague.

"We often visit each other's home and we have love and respect for each other. I don't think there was any need for him to apologise because it is not really a big thing for me. Both of us don't take these things seriously but it is the media that exaggerates the whole situation," Shah Rukh said via tele-conference here Thursday from Mumbai.

Aamir tendered an apology to Shah Rukh's kids for hurting their sentiments before taking a pot shot at the latter when he mentioned his wife Kiran in an answer to a reporter as "Kkk... Kiran" - a dialogue made famous by Shah Rukh in his 1993 hit "Darr".

"I've offered my heartfelt apologies to Shah Rukh's kids, not to Shah Rukh but to his kids," Aamir had recently said.

The two superstars have often taken digs at each other.

Terrorism has no religion: Shah Rukh

"There is no religion of terrorism," said Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan here Sunday evening at a public event a year after the Mumbai terror attacks.

"Indian civilisation does not distinguish in terms of religion. We are an impossible achievement in the world and I'm very proud to be an Indian," he added, speaking at public event held at the sprawling lawns of the India Gate to show the nation's solidarity against terrorism.

"No one can have two viewpoints about terrorism. There is no religion of terrorism. I am often asked my viewpoint on this, maybe because I am a Muslim and I am very proud to be a Muslim," said Shah Rukh.

"But I have read the Quran, listened to the Gita, acted in Ram Leela... and learnt Christianity besides being a Muslim... My friends and I have worked on a film on Buddha ('Asoka') and my wife is a Punjabi," the super star stressed.

Shah Rukh joined a number of celebrities, eminent personalities from the worlds of arts and literature, and political leaders and school children to mark "A Nation In Solidarity Against Terror" event organised under the aegis of the ministry of home affairs (MHA).

Also present at the event were Home Minister P. Chidambaram, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, lyricist Javed Akhtar, journalist Shekhar Gupta, shooter Abhinav Bindra and tennis player Sania Mirza to name a few.

Singers Shreya Ghosal, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shankar Mahadevan and violinist Dr. L. Subramaniam also performed at the event.

With a message "Terror has no religion. Our solidarity, courage and resoluteness are the answer to the threat of terror", it was hosted by actress-activist Nandita Das and directed by one-film old Feroz Abbas Khan.

Produced and managed by Wizcraft International Entertainment, the event was held a year after the final day when the siege in Mumbai last year ended (Nov 29, 2008).

It was supported by organisations including ONGC, Airtel, SAIL, State Bank of India, Apollo Tyres, Mahindra, Amity University, Reliance Industries, Reliance ADAG, GAIL, Aircel and Jet Airways.
