A five-year ban was imposed on King Khan following an incident in May 2012. According to Hindustan Times, Shah Rukh was involved in a fracas with a security guard and MCA officials following an Indian Premier League (IPL) match between KKR and Mumbai Indians in 2012. The actor was banned from entering the stadium since then.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Monday thanked the MCA for showing “graciousness” in lifting the ban imposed, reported IANS.

The 49-year-old posted on Twitter: “My gentle father-in-law made me realise how little it matters who was right or who was wrong. What matters is grace. Thanks MCA for your graciousness.”
MCA officials had also lodged a complaint against him at the Marine Drive police station saying that he was drunk and abused the officials.
Shah Rukh had denied that he misbehaved and said that he reacted after some children, including his own, were being manhandled by the stadium security staff.

The MCA in 2014 had offered to temporarily lift the ban on the actor in what was a failed attempt at bringing back the IPL final from Bengaluru to Mumbai. That offer, however, was just for the final match.
