Why #Boycottshahrukhkhan Is Trending On Twitter After Indians Blame Him For Defaming India
Boycott Shah Rukh Khan Trends On Twitter As His Old Photo With Pakistan’s PM Imran Khan Goes Viral
With SRK returning to the screens after a hiatus with Pathan, there’s a weird trending term that has taken over social media. Normally we see a positive kind of publicity for a superstar like him and a big-budget project but oddly, Twitter has been all about him being bashed in a controversy that’s stirred up a storm.
Turns out, people are digging videos and images from the actor’s past and blaming him collectively for all the apparent hurt and disregard he has caused in terms of speaking in favor of Pakistani cricketers and opening up about intolerance in India. Here’s what these examples look like:
Some are sharing his old picture with Pakistani PM Imran Khan and questioning his love for India, calling him a traitor, while others blame him for disrespecting Hindu culture.
Naturally, like two sides of the same coin, there are some big SRK fans who took this opportunity to highlight how he is actually an asset for the country and not a disgrace. However, another Twitter trend made it to the top which is SRK PRIDE OF INDIA, with Shah Rukh Khan fans standing up for him. The trend soon surpassed the boycott of SRK tweets with over 84k posts on Twitter. Khan Buffs defended the star for his achievements and stood by the belief that none of his films were made for election publicity or vested interests of any special group.
The war was further fuelled by some people who then blamed the actor for defaming Ashoka’s name when he took up that movie.
No one knows the root of how this controversy has begun and where it is going, but for now, social media is all about SRK’s lovers and haters uniting to make his name go viral.
Talking about Pathan, The film’s budget has been totalled to be around 250 crores and will be starring Deepika Padukone opposite King Khan. Other actors in the film playing main roles are John Abraham and Ashutosh Rana. Salman Khan will also make a cameo appearance in Pathan.
