Sameer Wankhede responds to Shah Rukh Khan’s dialogue ‘Bete ko haath lagane se pehle’: ‘This dialogue sounds very roadside’

Sameer stayed away from commenting on the case as it is still subjudice but when asked about his dealings with Shah Rukh Khan before the case, he said that they had always been cordial. “I can’t comment on the case. But 2-3 times when we met before, it was all very cordial. He knew me quite well and I knew him quite well too,” he said.

Earlier this year, Sameer Wankhede was accused of extorting money from SRK in exchange for releasing his son from custody. Aryan was in jail for a month after the 2021 Cordelia cruise drug bust. At the time, Sameer produced messages allegedly sent by Shah Rukh and stated that there was no proof that he was seeking money from the star.

Wankhede’s plea stated, “Allegations pertaining to the arrest of Aryan Khan being only an attempt for demanding money in exchange of his release are blatantly false and can be clearly seen from the messages sent by Mr Shahrukh Khan himself during the time Aryan was in the custody of NCB. Mr Shahrukh Khan has, vide his messages, clearly portrayed that he has no grievances against the Petitioner and has only requested to be kind to his son.”
