SRK said that people should watch the film just as they've voted for it
Censor Board wanted the word 'intercourse' be deleted from the promo
Censor Board chief said he'd pass the word if it was upvoted by a lakh
Pahlaj Nihalani told Mirror Now, "You take voting from the public and I will clear the word (intercourse) on the promo and the film also. I want 1 lakh votes and I want to see that India has changed and Indian families want their 12-year-old kids to understand the meaning of this word (intercourse)." So last week, Twitter trended 'Sanskari Nihalani' as it went about collecting the votes. However, it seems like Mr Nihalani is being something of a sore loser.

Shah Rukh Khan previously said he was hopeful of a change of heart on the part of the Censor. "May be they (CBFC) are considering some dialogues as unsuitable now. And if they find it unsuitable, we'll get them changed. But I think when they will watch the entire film, they will understand the context and hopefully everything will be good," he said, reported news agency ANI.
Jab Harry Met Sejal stars SRK, 51, as Harry from Punjab and Anushka Sharma, 29, as Sejal from Gujarat. Last night, the actors and director Imtiaz Ali toured the night clubs of Mumbai to promote the song Beech Beech Mein. The film, for which five mini trailers have been released so far, is scheduled for August 4.
