Shah Rukh Khan's Diwali Photo Leads To Ugly War Between Trolls And Fans
Shah Rukh Khan, a self-made star, is one of the biggest names in Bollywood and enjoys a strong fan-following for a variety of reasons. It's often then that fans react to his social media posts or quotes from his interviews. King Khan is in the limelight again for a similar reason. The 'My Name Is Khan' actor wished fans on Diwali 2019 as usual, but this created a buzz on social media for the wrong reason. While connecting with his 'Twitter family', SRK shared a photo, which grabbed plenty of attention. In it, SRK, Gauri Khan and AbRam Khan are seen sporting 'tilak', and enjoying each other's company on the auspicious occasion of Diwali.
Surprisingly, the heartwarming photo upset a few fans with 'fundamentalist' ideas, who attacked Shah Rukh Khan for allegedly 'hurting' religious sentiments. Luckily for the 'King of Romance', his more sensible fans supported him, implying that he respects all cultures equally.
Bollywood actress Shabana Azmi, too, came out in his support, saying 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 ."(sic)
Here are some of the tweets by fans:

Hatched meticulous strategy to hit bulls eye by creating controversy. Be sure guys he is going to launch new film project. Desperately in search of hit can go to any height & what would be better than hitting religious chord?
