New Delhi: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma once again said that he does not know Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan and the actor sent him a message and introduced himself.
Addressing the media, the CM said, “I know film stars of my time. I didn’t know Shahrukh. He sent a message and introduced himself – ‘I am Shahrukh Khan. I want to talk to you’.” I didn’t have time then. So later at 2 o’clock we talked and I told him that there will be no disturbance in Assam (about the movie Pathan).
