Mumbai: It appears that Bollywood blogs bite - with actor Aamir Khan's latest entry raising eyebrows for naming his pet dog "Shah Rukh" but superstar Shah Rukh Khan said he is not ruffled and that he is taking it in spirit.
After Amitabh Bachchan's blog created a controversy with his remarks against veteran actor and BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha, Aamir's latest blogpost talks about his pet dog "Shah Rukh" at his home in Panchgani.
Aamir, who is recuperating from a hamstring injury suffered on the sets of "Ghajini", said, "Shah Rukh is the dog of the caretakers of our house. When I bought this house it came with the caretakers."
When his reaction was sought to Aamir's blog, Sharukh on Thursday said he is not bothered and that he was taking it in the spirit.
"I have never bothered about it because I also say a lot of things in fun and I think I am also may be stressing somebody else out. I don't get stressed when friends pass comments like this. Actually I enjoyed it," Shah Rukh said.
Aamir had clarified that while Shah Rukh was shooting a commercial in the Panchgani house a few years ago, the caretakers bought a pup and named him after the the then rising star.
"What are the chances of me buying a house which comes with a dog called Shah Rukh. Some of my friends claim that I bought the house because of the dog. I would have to be a serious fan of Shah Rukh's to want to do that. All I can say is that I'm waiting for him to come over," Aamir wrote on his blog.
This is not the first time that Aamir has taken a shot at Shah Rukh. A few months back he had said at an event "I would like to ask Shah Rukh how it feels to be number two."
Aamir wrote in his blog "Shah Rukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more I can ask for?"
He ends the entry saying: "Shah Rukh is once again begging for my attention, so let me get me get back to him. He is smelling too much. I think he needs a bath. Heel Boy, heel."
Though Aamir claims there is no motive in his latest blogpost about his dog it has evoked criticism from the blog readers.
