In Mumbai, during an IPL match Shah Rukh Khan was engaged in verbal fight with security men. At the end part of the year 2012, Shah Rukh, Katrina and Anushka Sharma starrer film ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ has done better in the box office. Hope, Shah Rukh Khan will bounce back in 2013 and the coming year will see that Shah Rukh who always wants to win and hates defeat.
