What Shah Rukh Khan Said About Snapdeal Woman Employee's Kidnapping

Actor Shah Rukh Khan on Tuesday said no filmmaker made a movie with the intention of inspiring people in a negative way and it was 'sad' that viewers were influenced to do wrong things by watching films.

SRK was asked to comment on the cops' claim that the accused in the kidnapping of Snapdeal employee Dipti Sarna was inspired by his 1993 film Darr in which he played a crazed stalker.

The actor said, "Celebrities do have an amazing effect on fans. I feel we affect people more positively and less negatively. Our work influences them in a bigger way than we think. No filmmaker tells a story to inspire anything negative in people. There are times when people get negatively affected. It is unfortunate."

"Darr was a story of this obsessive lover, who can give life for the woman he loves and he does. It wasn't meant to inspire negative things. But I do feel our film touch poeple's lives," he said at the press conference held after the launch of a song from his upcoming film Fan.

Five men were arrested on Monday for allegedly kidnapping Snapdeal employee Dipti Sarna last week. The police said the prime accused was a psychopath who had escaped from jail in Haryana and had been following her for months after being inspired from the film Darr.

SRK's Darr co-star Juhi Chawla and filmmakers Mahesh Bhatt and Hansal Mehta had earlier said Bollywood couldn't be blamed for the incident.
