Actor Shah Rukh Khan with his manager Pooja Dadlani visited Shivaji Park, Mumbai to pay last respects to legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar at her funeral on February 6. Pics and videos of the actor went viral and his fans were all praise for SRK as he offered dua (prayer). A video of the actor blowing air into the wind after offering a ‘dua’ (prayer) went viral. But a section of netizens including Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s Haryana IT cell incharge Arun Yadav claimed that Shah Rukh spat on Lata ji’s mortal remains. They faced a severe backlash on Twitter asking them to check the facts regarding the Islamic ritual. For the unversed, blowing air into the wind after offering dua is an Islamic ritual to ward off evil. Many celebs came in support of Khan and slammed those who made those claims of the actor spitting. Rakhi Sawant has also extended her support for the Badshah of Bollywood.

The Bigg Boss fame condemned the trolls on Shah Rukh and called it a ‘shameful act’. When the paps asked her reaction on the ‘spitting controversy’, Rakhi said, “Jo aap log kar rahe hain, thodi si sharam aani chahiye. Woh wahan pe jaake, dua padke, phookte hain. Toh aap log jo kar rahe ho, ye galat baat hai. Koi thooka vooka nahi hai unhone.”

She further said, “Woh ek hasti hain, ek legend hai. Namaaz padne ke baad phooka jaata hai jiska matlab hai dua kabool hui. Toh unko jannat mein jagah milti hai. Toh ye sab galat mat phailao. Sharam karo. Bahut galat baat hai. Jiyo aur jeene do. Bade bade celebrities funeral pe gae hain toh thoda sa sharam karo bhai”.
