Banned from Wankhede stadium

Accused of sex determination

Shah Rukh Khan welcomed his third and youngest child AbRam with his wife Gauri in 2013 via surrogacy. Soon after the announcement, Khan and his wife Gauri were accused that they conducted the pre-natal sex determination test. The investigation was carried out against the couple, however, later SRK condemned all the reports.

 “I did not like that fact when the media spoke about surrogacy. I hate it. They said I had s*x determination test, which was rubbish. I am too educated to be indulging in this non-sense. He was suffering… He was ill and people were talking about s*x determination just because he is the child of a famous movie star.” SRK said in an interview.
