Is it fair criticism?
On Friday, the Shiv Sena launched a fresh attack against Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan.
In the party’s mouthpiece Saamna, SRK has been severely criticized for agreeing to perform at a function for a Pakistani TV channel on the second anniversary of the 26/11 terror strike in Mumbai.
But SRK’s office in Mumbai claims that the superstar hasn’t taken on any such assignment and that he is presently shooting for Farhan Akhtar’s film Don 2 in Berlin, Germany.
However, the scathing editorial in Saamna said that SRK 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.
Earlier this year too, the Shiv Sena had targeted SRK for his comment favouring the inclusion of Pak cricketers in IPL tournament. The party had tried to forcibly halt the release of SRK’s film My Name Is Khan.
