Shah Rukh causes huge stampede in London
The presence of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan at a London event caused a stampede and an eventual close-down.
London had never before witnessed something of this caliber, as thousands of King Khan fans flocked to the Olympia arena to catch a glimpse of him. When Shah Rukh Khan eventually arrived, at 4pm in the afternoon on Saturday, the arena was at full capacity, forcing security officials to turn away many ticket-holding fans.
The local police called in more officers to form a ring around the venue just to keep the angry fans away. But this didn’t stop the angry fans from fighting and jostling to get into the hall.
Were you there at the event? Were you allowed in to see Shah Rukh Khan? Did you manage to meet him personally at the autograph stage? Or were you one of the unlucky ones that were not able to get in because of the overcrowding? Do use the comments section below to let us know.

I was lucky enough to meet Shahrukh at the Olympia on the 15th Februaury 2008. He was polite, and quite down to earth.
