"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.

The hearing will be held on January 18.
