SRK has received criticism for marrying Gauri Khan, a Hindu, despite the fact that he is a Muslim.
Shah Rukh Khan has perfected the art of winning people’s hearts. He never fails to make his stamp on his audience’s hearts, whether it be with a hand gesture, a smile with dimples, or humorous responses. We were in awe of him after he responded to a reporter’s question about if he had ever received criticism from any hardliner Muslims for being a moderate Muslim.
Because Gauri Khan was from a Hindu family and SRK was a Muslim, he frequently received criticism for his choice of spouse. He has additionally drawn flak for portraying Hindu roles while being a Muslim.
A reporter asked him, “have you been criticised by Muslim hardliners for being a moderate Muslim?” The actor replied, “not yet, I mean I’m quite careful about it. I’m a good actor. There is a little confusion between faith and religion. Faith by definition means different practices of same things. So religion being one and there’s a different faith. I have grown up like that.”
“I was in a Catholic school, St. Columba. I have learnt my Hinduism from doing Ram Leelas of Chhabra Sahab in Delhi and I have learnt Islam from my family. That is why I think I have been able to appreciate all the religions. Yes, my wife is a Hindu. My children say Nasruminallah and Bismillah, and they say the Gayatri mantra also, and it’s quite okay.”
“A lot of my friends are, yes sort of hardliner Muslims, and they also come to my house and listen to the mantra and then they listen and see us do the namaz and sometimes we don’t do it properly and the hardliner guys just teach us how to do it properly and I’m okay. I’m like it’s a good learning experience. I do speak the word of Qur’an, which is actually quite like the word of the Bible, which is quite like the word of Geeta and Mahabharata. It’s all the same. I find it strange when we are fighting about this, it’s like the same novel, same topic, just different languages, what is the issue man!”
Shah Rukh Khan is referred to as the King Khan of Bollywood for a reason, I suppose. No one else has ever handled such a delicate subject with such care. How do you feel? Inform us!
