Bollywood’s leading Khan has broken his silence and unequivocally condemned the deadly terrorist attacks that rocked Mumbai last week.
Film celebs have been venting out their shock, anguish and wrath through blogging and community sites, openly condemning the gory and heinous attacks that kept the ‘maximum city’ under siege for three days. While Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan took the lead in voicing their anger, Shahrukh Khan has been silent. But now he has spoken up.
While talking on Raj and Pablo’s ‘Love Bollywood’ radio show on the BBC Asian Network, SRK said he was at loss of words to say anything about this situation.
“I’ve tried to keep away from commenting on this as there are no words to express a situation like this because our feelings are mixed with anger, disbelief and sadness,” the superstar said.
Shahrukh also commented on misrepresentation of Islam by extremists.
"Being Muslim myself, I believe youngsters need to understand Islam and respect the religion in the right way. It’s such a huge waste and my appeal to all in these times and in recent years is that please can we run what we want in terms of politics, government, jobs and teaching our children with the prime motive of taking communalism out of it,” SRK stressed.
The superstar concluded with a very important remark: “The religion our children are born with should be something they practice as a discipline and work should be developed as the new religion. I think no agenda should be attached to any kind of religion.”
Spoken like a true workaholic.
