Shahrukh Khan supports Vishwanath Anand

Shahrukh Khan is upset about the entire controversy over Vishwanath Anand's nationality. Courtesy Union Human Resource Development Minister’s Kapil Sibal’s interventions that the honorary doctorate to be allotted to Anand was delayed although Sibal apologized for the same later.

Anand along with Prof. David Mumford of Harvard University at a function in Hyderabad was to be honoured on Monday. However, queries related to his nationality as he has been staying in Spain for some years now but has an Indian passport sprang up which followed with the delay.

King Khan too showed his displeasure by tweeting, "It would be silly if it wasn't so tragic asking Vishy Anand for Indianness. CWG, Cricket and Vishy, India is truly having some sad sports days (sic).” “Instead of just cheering or jeering at half filled unkept arenas...we all should respect the great gift of sporting talent in our country (sic)," SRK adds.
