Bollywood
superstar
Shah
Rukh
Khan
recently
found
himself
in
the
midst
of
a
controversy
when
he
attended
the
funeral
of
legendary
singer
Lata
Mangeshkar
who
passed
away
on
Sunday
(February
6).
A
video
from
the
funeral
went
viral
on
social
media
where
the
actor
who
is
accompanied
by
his
manager
Pooja
Shetty,
is
seen
folding
his
hands
and
raising
them
in
a
prayer.
He
is
then
seen
blowing
out
air
from
his
mouth
over
Lata
Mangeshkar's
mortal
remains.
For
those
who
ain't
aware,
blowing
out
air
is
a
part
of
the
prayer
for
the
departed
soul
in
Islam.
It
is
done
to
ward
off
the
evil.
However,
a
section
of
netizens
lashed
out
at
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
accused
him
of
'spitting'
on
the
late
singer's
mortal
remains.
Amid
all
this
hullabaloo,
many
people
also
came
out
in
support
of
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
One
amongst
them
is
his
Chamatkar
co-star
and
actress
Urmila
Matondkar.
As
per
a
report
in
India
Today,
the
actress
reacted
to
this
episode
while
speaking
with
a
regional
channel
and
said
that
as
a
society,
we
have
'deteriorated'
so
much
that
we
think
praying
is
spitting.
She
said,
"As
a
society,
we
have
deteriorated
so
much
that
we
think
praying
is
spitting.
You
are
talking
about
an
actor
who
has
represented
the
country
on
various
international
platforms.
Politics
has
reached
such
low
levels
and
it's
really
sad."
Earlier
Urmila
had
mourned
Lata
Mangeshkar's
demise
with
a
post
that
read,
"Apart
from
being
a
#Legend
an
exemplary
life
of
a
#Daughter
of
#India
who
showed
us
what
a
daughter
can
achieve
n
stand
tall
for
the
entire
#family
#RIPLataMangeshkar.
Sabko
sanmati
de
bhagwan
(God
bless
everyone)."
Lata
Mangeshkar
breathed
her
last
due
to
multiple
organ
failure
at
Breach
Candy
Hospital
in
Mumbai
on
February
6.
She
was
92.
