His comments snowballed into a political controversy, with a few ruling BJP leaders criticising the actor.
However, today at the trailer launch of their upcoming film "Dilwale", when reporters asked Shah Rukh to comment on the issue, he chose to remain non-responsive.
His co-stars Kajol and Varun immediately came to the "rescue" of the King Khan so that the media stops asking questions over the issue.
"We are intolerant today...ask me whatever you want to ask," Kajol told reporters here.
Varun said, "This is not the place to ask this. We are here to talk about the film."
