Five days after Snapdeal senior executive Dipti Sarna was abducted on her way home in Ghaziabad, 5 men were arrested in connection with the case. Police said the prime accused had been following her for months and was inspired by Shahrukh Khan's movie, Darr.

Actor Shah Rukh Khan was asked to comment on the cops' claim that the accused in the kidnapping of Dipti was inspired by his film 'Darr' in which he played a crazed stalker.

Shah Rukh said that no filmmaker makes a film with the intention of inspiring people in a negative way and it was 'sad' that viewers were influenced to do wrong things by watching films.

"Celebrities do have an amazing effect on fans. I feel we affect people more positively and less negatively. Our work influences them in a bigger way than we think. No filmmaker tells a story to inspire anything negative in people. There are times when people get negatively affected. It is unfortunate," Shah Rukh said.
