For his constant brush with controversies Shah Rukh Khan’s friends have started calling him a problem child. "My friend just called me a 'problem child'... always in trouble. I think it is true...it would be so boring to be a 'solution adult'. Says Badshah of Bollywood in his trademark humour. SRK is know in the industry for always speaking his mind and taking all that’s said about him in good humour but the cool Khan lost his temper when a comment was made about him and his brother like friend Karan Johar at recently held IPL awards night.

Says a source close to the actor, "He didn't want to ditch the organisers at the last moment. He told them to look for a replacement, as he felt he might not be able to keep his commitment. The panic-stricken organisers then approached Shahid Kapur, who refused saying he was busy."

The organisers -- the Morani Brothers (also good friends of Shah Rukh) -- pleaded with the actor to bail them out. They kept trying to convince him to agree to honour his commitment the actor finally relented but on the condition that the act would be trimmed down. SRK was to host a segment in the middle of the show, but he arrived at the venue, almost close to curtains-down time at 9.30 pm. The show ended with his act.

Khan was to host a segment with eight cricketers: Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Yusuf Pathan, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Adam Gilchrist and Virendra Sehwag. After a break of 15 minutes, he was to repeat the same act with eight more players. But his act eventually was without a break and with just the first lot.

An eyewitness reveals, "Even though his act was last minute, it was the best. He got Sourav, Dravid and Bhajji to dance to Love Mera Hit-Hit and his other hit songs.

However there was a hitch in the end, following which the actor left. The source continues, "SRK teased Yuvi about his female fan following and said they only stuck to him because of his Casanova image. Yuvi retaliated by saying that women ran after him (and not Khan) because he was stuck to Karan. There was a hush in the audience at this comment but Shah Rukh being a good sport, handled the situation well. But he made his displeasure known backstage and staged a walkout."

The final act was to have the IPL team owners come on stage with their teams. While everyone came on stage, SRK was missing. The general assumption was that he had walked out, as he was upset with Yuvi's crack.

However Shah Rukh maintains, "I had made a commitment as a professional -- I would do my job. And I did. I left post show because I had a shoot waiting. I had to finish it."
