Shah Rukh Khan Received A Question On His Patriotism Amid The Dreadful Terror Attack In India

The netizens put a question on the patriotism of the Baazaar's actor, Shah Rukh Khan, amid the most dreadful Pulwama terror attacks taking place in India last week.

The attacks targeting at the army claimed the lives of over 40 CRPF jawans. More than 1.3 billion Indian, including prominent names in Bollywood, stood up together, condemned the attack. The actress Shabana Azmi called for stopping the cultural ties with Pakistan. The actress and Javed Akhtar, her husband, also declined all invitation from the Karachi Arts Council. Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan supported Rs 5 lakhs for every family of martyrs. Also, Salman Khan supported monetary help to the CRPF's families.

Nonetheless, celebrities are always soft targets in national events, especially crisis ones. Every single speech or comment of them draws a considerable amount of attention. The netizens look like a two-edged sword; they can raise the celebs and drown them at the same time.

Typically, an old clip of Shah Rukh Khan was dug up amid the dreadful attack. The clip claimed that the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actor had donated Rs 45 crores for a tragedy hit Pakistan a few years ago. Immediately, a news portal denied the case, stated that the celeb gave no money for Pakistan. However, the netizens put a question on the patriotism of the Baazaar's actor right after the clip went viral. Shah Rukh Khan is only one of many celebrities in Bollywood can incautiously step into the netizens' hatred during the national crisis.

Since the national crisis is a sensitive issue, celebrities such as SRK, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan must highly pay attention to their speeches, raise their voice at the right time with the constructive contents.
