Misinformed Shiv Sena attacks SRK yet again
Shiv Sena attacked Khan for agreeing to perform for a Pakistani TV channel on 2nd anniversary of the Mumbai attacks.
MUMBAI:
The Shiv Sena on Friday attacked Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for agreeing to perform at a function for a Pakistani TV channel on the second anniversary of the Mumbai attacks.
However, the actor's office said there was no truth in the allegation and that he was in Berlin shooting for Don 2.
In a sharp editorial in its party mouthpiece Saamna, the Sena said Khan lived in India, worked in Mumbai, constructed a palace (Mannat Bungalow in Bandra) in Mumbai but agreed to do a song-and-dance for a Pakistani TV channel in London, ostensibly to help the victims of the recent floods there.
"This (anniversary) is becoming an occasion to celebrate, instead of remembering the sacrifices of the martyrs and the innocent victims of the terror attacks and paying them homage," the editorial said.
However, a source in Shah Rukh's office said: "Shah Rukh is very much in Berlin. He's shooting for Farhan Akhtar's Don 2. He's not going anywhere. There is no truth in the Saamna story."
Earlier, in October the Shiv Sena had, in the same newspaper, called for a burqa ban in India.
