Shocking videos of police and government officials arguing with a mahant and manhandling him at the Hanuman temple in Anjanadri, Karnataka have gone viral on social media.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday addressed the lower house of the Indian Parliament over the scuffle that broke out between Indian and Chinese troops along the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang sector on December 9. Singh said none of the Indian soldiers was seriously injured or killed during the clashes with the Chinese PLA troopers.

On the intervening night of December 11 and December 12, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan was spotted at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Temple in Katara. Notably, SRK had visited Mecca to perform Umrah earlier this month.

SRK is hoping to make a big comeback to the silver screen in 2023 with his films Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki set for a release. Having suffered years of flops and mediocre releases, 2023 is supposed to be the year of the comeback for SRK.

SRK’s videos and photographs from Vaishno Devi Temple went viral on social media after his visit. Shahrukh’s face was not clearly visible as he was wearing a black hooded jacket but there was an army of security guards surrounding him as he made his way to the temple.

SRK has recently completed Saudi Arabia scheduled for Dhunki. Thanking the Ministry of Culture of Saudi Arabia, he wrote, “spectacular locations, amazing arrangements, and the warm hospitality.”  “A very big Shukran (Thank you) to #SaudiArabiaMinistryOfCulture, the team, and all who made this shooting schedule of #Dunki so smooth,” the Bollywood star wrote on his Instagram post.

The first song of Pathaan is also scheduled for release soon. Deepika Padukone is in the lead opposite SRK in the film. The Bollywood actor unveiled the first look of the song on Sunday, December 11.

Superstar Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan have fallen victim to the ongoing boycott trend by the major Indian population. Despite positive reviews, the film failed to make a mark at the box office. Amidst this, Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan seemingly falls victim to the boycott trend.

The actor is returning to the silver screen with Siddharth Anand’s action film which is slated to release next year. However, proud Indians have already begun calling for a boycott of the film. An old video of King Khan allegedly talking about “growing intolerance” has also surfaced on social media.

In the viral video, Shah Rukh Khan was asked whether there’s growing intolerance in the country, he replied, “I mean just for the symbolic gesture, yes, if I have to. But there is intolerance. There’s extreme intolerance. I think there’s growing intolerance.” It is also worth pointing out that the authenticity of the video is yet to be ascertained since the video in question could most likely be edited out or taken out of context.

Kamaal R Khan aka KRK is a self-proclaimed critic who never shies away from voicing his opinions and taking digs at Bollywood movies or trolling the actors. A few hours back, he took to his Twitter handle and lashed out at Pathaan’s first song ‘Besharam Rang’. Dress-shaming Deepika Padukone, he claimed Shah Rukh Khan has been showing off his ‘fake plastic abs’.

KRK’s tweet can be read as, “I simply can’t understand, why #DeepikaPadukone is wearing bikini in the Song #BeshramRang While she is looking so bad in bikini. I would love this song if Deepika is wearing salwar kameez or any other full dress. And SRK is not showing fake plastic 6 packs.”

Sporting a golden monokini, Deepika Padukone is looking cheap copy of herself and doing vulgar steps like dance bar girls in the freshly launched song ‘Besharam Rang’.

Sadhu calls for boycott of SRK’s film ‘Pathan’, gets death threat

Gandhidham: Kutch Sadhu Samaj president on Friday claimed to have received a death threat for appealing to ‘sanatanis’ to boycott Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘Pathan’.

Sadhu Devnath, the guru brother of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, will soon file a criminal complaint in the Bachau police station against the SRK fan who threatened him on social media.

Speaking to local media, Sadhu Devnath stated: “One Saleem Ali (SRK fan) has posted a beheaded poster of mine on Twitter. He is from Shah Rukh Khan’s PR team, this is in reaction to my Thursday’s tweet in which I had appealed to Sanatanis to boycott Shah Rukh’s new movie ‘Pathan’ like Aamir Khan’s ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’.”

The sadhu said he wants police to expose the syndicate or gang behind this threat and not simply investigate against Saleem.

“I am not against any movie, but against actors who flourish on Indian fan followers and abuse the nation,” he said, adding that he is also not against any caste, creed or community, but will not tolerate those who speak against the nation and its people.

SRK visit to Mecca

On December 2, it was reported that SRK performed Umrah at Mecca after wrapping up the shooting schedule of Dunki. Saudi Arabia-based journalist Said Hafiz took to Twitter to share images of the Bollywood actor praying at Mecca. “Bollywood Actor Shah Rukh Khan @iamsrk performed Umrah in #Mecca today. May Allah SWT accept his Umrah, Ameen”, he tweeted.

Umrah is an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, that can be undertaken at any time of the year as compared to Hajj. In accordance with the Shariah (Law of Islam), for both pilgrimages, a Muslim must first assume a state of purification achieved by completing cleansing rituals, wearing the prescribed attire, and abstaining from certain actions. Umrah is considered a pilgrimage “lesser than” Hajj and is completed in a few hours, compared to Hajj, which may take a few days.

SRK is often seen following rituals of both Islam and Hinduism. Notably, his wife, Gauri, is a Hindu. Every year, SRK posts pictures of the idol of Bhagwan Ganesha that his family brings home for Ganesh Chaturthi.

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor has expressed his desire to act in a Pakistani film. Kapoor attended the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between December 1 and December 10.

During a session, he spoke about the idea of collaborating with actors in the Pakistani film industry and shooting a film in Saudi Arabia. He claimed that artists have no boundaries. Notably, Kapoor received Variety International Vanguard Actor Award at the festival.

Kapoor was attending a session where an audience member who happened to be a director and producer from Pakistan questioned if he would like to be a part of a Pakistani film. The audience member said it is not possible for the actors of Pakistan to work in the Indian industry anymore, and the same goes for the Indian actors. He said, “Now we have a platform like Saudi Arabia where we can jointly do films, I would love to sign you for a film. Would you be willing to work with the Pakistani team along with your team in Saudi Arabia?”

Many congratulations to the Pakistan film industry for (The Legend Of) Maula Jatt. It is one of the biggest hits we have seen in the last few years. Of course, I would love to.”

In recent years, the involvement of actors from the Pakistani film industry in the Indian film industry sparked controversies amidst the rising terror threats and attacks from the neighbour’s side. Raj Thackeray’s party MNS has issued a warning against the release of Maula Jatt in India. MNS media wing president Ameya Khopkar said in a statement that they would do everything in their power to stop the release of the film in India.
