In the days following of Priyanka Chopra's calims Kangana Ranaut said that Karan Johar cornered her because of her friendship with Shah Rukh Khan, and now an old interview with the Pathan star, in which he reacts to his supposed affair with the Citadel actress, is becoming viral. SRK was asked about his alleged affair with Priyanka and how it has affected him personally in one of his interviews with Katrina Kaif.

In this video, Shah Rukh Khan is clearly seen addressing Priyanka and stating, "To me, what's most disturbing is the fact that a lady who's worked with me has been questioned, and somewhere down the line, she's not being shown the kind of respect I show her or all the women."

He further continued, "I think it's a little disrespectful; I'm extremely sorry about that," the Jawan star continues, referring to Priyanka Chopra as her friend. Sorry implies... it's not because of anything I've done, but because she's a friend of mine. She's one of my dearest pals, dear to my heart, and always will be."

Priyanka's achievements was also appreciated by Shah Rukh Khan: "I just feel like sometimes when things are said, I need to step back from it because I find it very banal, very small, and very menial." It just ruins the bonds that people have when working together. She's a small kid who, I'm not sure, started her Miss India or Miss World crowning with me. We've had some of the most touching moments on television as friends, which is awful. It's incredibly bad and upsetting for me to believe that a friendship might become tainted." However, it appears that our friendship has ended, and we no longer cross paths.
