Previously, Shah Rukh Khan had explained how the incident transpired, and said that he was triggered by a word used by the security staff that was religious in nature. The superstar had said he was “very angry and upset.”

“My kids were there and I thought someone… Maybe they had a rule, that hatao yaha se. I told him, these are our kids and we are taking them. I just said this. There was a person there who said a word which I, as a Delhi person, felt like it was an abusive word. Even though the same word in Marathi is also rude. Thoda sa religious, galat tha woh (It was religious, it was wrong). I then lost my cool, main pagal hogaya and I went to hit him,” the actor had said in an old appearance on Aap Ki Adalat.

According to a PTI report at the time, the superstar had denied that he had misbehaved and maintained that he reacted only after children, including his kids, were “manhandled” by the security staff at the stadium.
