And once again Shah Rukh Khan is getting trolled for celebrating Diwali. This time when the superstar posted a picture sporting a tilak, he was called a ¡°fake muslim¡± by some of the people on social media.
This time as well, trolls said that it was shameful that despite being a Muslim he was wearing a Tilak. While people called him fake muslim, Shabana Azmi who is also a Muslim took a stand for him.
Giving it back to the trolls, Shabana Azmi wrote on Twitter, "Appalled to read that@iamsrk? Diwali greeting invites wrath of rabid Islamists, gets called a ¡°False Muslim¡± for sporting a tilak!¡±FUNDOS get a life! Islam is not so weak that it stands threatened by what is a beautiful Indian custom.Indias beauty is in her GangaJamuni tehzeeb."
On Saturday, actor Vishwa Bhanu, who has worked in movies like Special 26 and Mardaani, had appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that his Muslim neighbours were hindering his Diwali celebration. He said that they wouldn¡¯t let his wife make Rangoli and they even destroyed the lights.
India is a Secular State. We have for long cherished secular fabric of the nation. Why do some people keep forgetting that?
