Shah Rukh, Salman in legal trouble

The Hindu Mahasabha has taken the actors to court for 'hurting religious sentiments' through their Bigg Boss episode

Salman Khan is in hot water yet again, and this time Shah Rukh Khan has been dragged in too.

The duo's appearance on hit reality TV show Bigg Boss received much appreciation from fans, but unfortunately some people had reservations with the way the show was carried out.



In a scene from the show's sets, the superstars appear to be inside a Kali temple with their shoes on and this didn't go down well with Indian political party the Hindu Mahasabha.

They appealed to a local court against Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, the programme's director and TV channel Colors, and according to DNA India, their plea has been accepted.



"A scene with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan inside a Kali temple on the sets of TV reality show Bigg Boss was broadcast by Colors channel in December last year," Bharat Rajput, president of Hindu Mahasabha's Meerut unit said.



He also said he had written a letter to the District Magistrate of Meerut and the SSP on December 23, and sent an email to the channel regarding the matter.



His case states that anyone entering a religious place with their shoes on is being disrespectful and shouldn't be allowed inside the place of worship, and airing such an act on TV is insensitive as it hurt people's religious sentiment.

When the channel didn't respond to his email nor did the police or administration address the issue, he took the case to the court of CJM Sanjay Kumar Singh.

The hearing will be held on January 18.
