Following controversies over his comment on intolerance, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan today said he won’t answer any question on political and religious matters.

“Unfortunately because of the reactions I get when I answer something political or religious, I don’t think I will answer this question,” Khan told reporters here when asked to comment on Pakistani ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali’s concert related issue.

Khan had earlier said there is “extreme intolerance” in India, creating a furore. He had later apologised.

He had said the controversy also affected the collections of his latest film ‘Dilwale’.

During a programme to launch the ‘Shades of Bengal’ book by Nerolac Paints, he also avoided answering the question related to reduction of his security cover by the Mumbai Police.

Khan quipped saying he missed the constables as they used to bring food for him.

“I miss them. Sometimes I give them a call to ask about their well-being. They used to take food for me and we used to eat ‘puri’ and rice together,” he added.

As ‘Dilwale’ has failed to create a big mark at the box office dampening expectation arising out of the return of his pairing with Kajol, Shah Rukh admitted his disappointment.

“I don’t think the film has done as well as it should have. I am personally disappointed with that,” Shah Rukh told reporters.

“To be honest, it has perhaps not done as well in India as I would like it to do. But overseas it has done very well in a lot of countries like Germany, Austria. It is quite thrilling that Indian films are reaching far and wide. There is a lot of business opportunities,” Khan said adding that he did not have the exact numbers.
