Among a number of Bollywood celebrities, King Shah Rukh Khan was also spotted paying his tribute to the late legend.
However, his love for the singer was mistaken by a number of Hindu extremists who blamed the star for spitting on Lata’s mortal remains.
SRK was papped in a white shirt and beige pants along with his manager Pooja Dadlani during the funeral ceremony.
The video of King Khan praying on Lata’s mortal remains went viral on social media.
The star could be seen praying as per Islamic teachings and later on blowing air which was mistaken by a lot of Hindu nationals who blamed him for spitting.
Listen @iamsrk, Lata Mangeshkar’s funeral was done according to Hindu rituals and nobody asked you to spit there. And it wasn’t necessary for you to remove your mask to bow your head.
