The controversy surrounding Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s upcoming film Pathaan refuses to die down. Hindutva activists have now sunk to a new low as a caretaker from Ayodhya went on to perform Shahrukh Khan’s symbolic ‘tehraveen’ ritual on Deepika’s saffron panties in the Besharam Rang song.
On Monday, Mahant Paramhans Das of Tapasvi Chhavni sat with an earthen pot with SRK’s photo pasted on it. The onlooker was surrounded by a handful of supporters and he then smashed the clay vessel on the ground after reciting several mantras. He said that ‘Tehraveen’ will mark the end of ‘Jihad’ which is being propagated by the superstar through his films.
Last week, the caretaker burnt posters of Shahrukh Khan and said he would burn him alive if he met him. He also appealed to people to set fire to those theaters where Pathaan will be screened. He said that Deepika wore a saffron colored bikini which hurt their religious sentiments, adding that Shah Rukh Khan constantly mocked Sanatan Dharma.
Earlier, BJP leader Hari Bhushan Thakur Bachaul had threatened to stop the release of Pathaan in Bihar. The controversy was first sparked by Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra who objected to the song. He found several scenes of the song obscene and obscene. He even threatened to ban the film in Madhya Pradesh if these shots were not replaced.
However, several industry insiders have come out in support of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone and their film Pathaan, calling the saffron scandal misogynistic and highly regressive. Veteran actress Asha Parekh recently said that our brains are shutting down and people are becoming more closed off.
