On Tuesday, former Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy made headlines with his claim on Khan's involvement in Qatar releasing Indian Navy veterans. On his X handle, Swamy who is known for making controversial claims wrote, "Modi should take Cinema star Sharuk Khan to Qatar with him since after MEA and NSA had failed to persuade the Shiekhs of Qatar, Modi pleaded with Khan to intervene, and thus got an expensive settlement from the Qatar Shiekhs to free our Naval officers (sic)," He was responding to PM Modi's post on X.

Soon after, the post went viral with fans hailing Shah Rukh Khan for putting his stardom to good use.

Shah Rukh Khan's manager Pooja Dadlani took to her Instagram handle to share the official statement from the 'office of Mr Shah Rukh Khan'.

"Regarding the reports concerning Shah Rukh Khan's purported role in the release of India's naval officers from Qatar, the office of Mr. Shah Rukh Khan says that any such assertions of his involvement are unfounded, emphasizing the execution of this successful resolution solely rests with the Indian government officials and unequivocally denies Mr. Khans participation in this matter," Shah Rukh Khan's manager Pooja Dadlani shared a statement on Instagram.

"Additionally, all matters involving diplomacy and statecraft are best executed by are very able leaders. Mr. Khan like many other Indians is happy that the naval officers are home safe and wishes them all the best," the statement added.
