Shabana Azmi on Monday 28 October tweeted in defense of Shah Rukh Khan, who had allegedly been trolled for sporting a tilak in a Diwali photo he shared on Twitter on Sunday.
“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” Shabana wrote on Twitter.
Take a look.
On Sunday, Shah Rukh Khan took to social media to wish his fans on the occasion of Deepawali. He posted a family photo with his wife Gauri Khan and son AbRam Khan. However, this family photo is not the usual kind. It’s a close up of all three of their foreheads with teeka on them. In the caption, SRK wishes his fans a happy Diwali and life.
The caption reads, “#HappyDiwali to everyone. May your lives be lit up and happy.”
