Shah Rukh Khan, the 'King of Bollywood' after celebrating Diwali with his friends and family faced massive backlash from social media users who criticized him for celebrating the festival while being Muslim.
The 52-year-old Zero actor had shared a glimpse on Sunday into his Diwali festivities with his wife Gauri Khan and their youngest son AbRam.
The actor had written the caption “#HappyDiwali to everyone. May your lives be lit up and happy.”
Soon after, the actor faced the wrath of trolls on social media who called him out for practicing the Hindu ritual while being Muslim.
However, Indian actor Shabana Azmi was quick to come to the actor’s defence as she slammed trolls on Twitter saying Islam is not that weak to be threatened by someone rejoicing a festival of another religion.
