The authorities wanted to serve him the summons in the case filed against him for smoking in public but things didn’t go as planned…

The Indian Premier League 5 has brought a lot of trouble for Shahrukh Khan. A case was filed against him for smoking during a match at a Jaipur stadium and he was banned from entering Wankhede stadium in Mumbai after being involved in a brawl. While the talk around the second event has died down a bit, the smoke (pun intended) around the first is yet to dissipate.

A Rajasthan court had earlier summoned him to appear before it for a hearing on May 26. Apparently the matter didn’t end there. The Rajasthan cops sent a constable to serve the summons to the actor at his home in Bandra, a Mumbai suburb. In the spirit of co-operation, the local cops accompanied him to Mannat.

That’s when Shahrukh’s luck seemed to turn. He had already left for Pune to (ironically) attend another IPL match. The disappointed cops had to stoically serve the summons to his personal assistant instead. It still doesn’t mean that SRK can escape being in a Jaipur court tomorrow (May 26), but he did get a reprieve from having to entertain cops at his home. Now if only that run of good luck continues till his court hearing.
