A worker of the Bharatiya Janata Party Arun Yadav accused Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan of spitting on the body of the legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar during her funeral.
India lost her voice on Sunday. The never-ending anthem that Lata Mangeshkar had stolen from us, a hymn of our joy, sorrow, agony, and devotion. It was like a senior family member they had come to love passing away.
Lataji’s voice might reach a large audience. Her rendition of “aey mere watan kei logon” moved Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first prime minister, to tears. A remarkable 70-year career, 25,000 songs, and an unparalleled legacy
The SRK blowing dua shouldn’t have been noteworthy, but a combination of bigotry and misunderstanding about the customs of other religions led to the misrepresentation of grieving families and the targeting of Muslims.
I can tell you that there is a long history of individuals blaming Muslims for “spitting” on social media because I work as an investigative journalist and monitor social media.
I’m always wondering, as Indians, what has become of us? Recall the drug and fraud case involving Aryan Khan, the son of Shah Rukh Khan, who was imprisoned during the pandemic. And lastly, what had Aryan Khan done wrong? Being the son of Shah Rukh Khan, the actor, makes him a target for many who detest Bollywood’s religious diversity due to the Khan trio of superstars.
