Shah Rukh Khan collects graduation degree, 28 years later

New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan received his graduation degree on Tuesday, 28 years after passing out from Hansraj College.

Walking down the memory lane, the Bollywood star said, "This is a very special moment for me. I am back in my college which I left in 1988. I am missing only one thing- my children are not with me today, as I wanted to show them every corner of my college."

ABVP activists were detained outside the North Campus college when they tried to block Shah Rukh's car while he was entering the premises. The activists called him anti-national for his intolerance comments at an earlier programme. Police said they had to use mild force to remove the protesters.

Police claimed they were removed before Khan reached the college. "They were first removed from the spot for security reasons and later detained when they tried to use force to get back there," said a senior officer.

Students attending the event said the protesters carrying placards saying "Go Back Shah Rukh" had even tried to stop some of them from entering the college.

Recently, VHP members had protested against the shooting of SRK's movie Raees in Gujarat.

Around 20-30 VHP activists had handed over a memorandum to district officers demanding withdrawal of permission for shooting the film. They shouted slogans against Khan and also burnt and tore his posters.
