Eid Mubarak,” wrote SRK on his X timeline, encouraging his 43.7 million followers to take this Eid as an opportunity to reflect on and rejoice in all the positivity around them and celebrate the religious holiday by sharing love with others.

A post shared by ZAYED KHAN (@itszayedkhan)

“Hello people. Wish you all a very happy Eid-e-Miladun Nabi. May the Almighty give you wisdom to fight your troubles, the strength to overcome your fears, and bring light and love into your homes,” read the caption underneath the Instagram post that amassed 17,000 likes. 

Both Shah Rukh and Zayed are known to be practicing Muslims and are in the minority when it comes to Muslim actors working in the mostly Hindu-dominated Indian film industry. 

The duo’s messages of love and strength come at a time when their country, India, is suffering from an overpowering influence of right-wing politics and fascism, which has made it difficult for religious minority groups like the Muslim community in India to live safely and thrive.
