Actress Resham comes out in support of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who is subjected to heavy criticism by Hindu extremists claiming that he spat on Lata Mangeshkar’s mortal remains during her last rites.
She took to Instagram and slammed the bigoted people for bashing the Raees actor for his gesture while paying his last respects as he offered ‘dua’ and then blew into the air, which is a normal practice among Muslims.
“I don’t understand why prejudice blinds a person so much. After reading something during Lata Ji’s last rites, Shah Rukh Khan has blown the dua, which has been termed “spitting” by the bigoted people there and the clip went viral. But any conscious person will see it with open eyes that Shah Rukh has blown, and did not spit.
