Shah Rukh Khan: I never met Lalit Modi in London
Shah Rukh recently returned from Bulgaria where he's shooting for 'Dilwale'
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has categorically denied that he met former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi in London. SRK is a co-owner of Indian Premier League team Kolkata Knight Riders. His denial came after Modi alleged he had private meetings with Priyanka and Robert Vadra.
During an interview, Shah Rukh Khan was asked whether he met Lalit Modi, embroiled in a row after it came to light that external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj had facilitated travel documents for him in London and that Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, had reportedly favoured Modi's immigration plea in a London court.
