The festival of lights, Diwali lit up every nook and corner and the celebrations have been on full swing. With several celebrity Diwali parties and tons of pictures of stars dazzling in their best outfits, the Bollywood actors set the festive mood just right.

 Recently, the Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, posted a very adorable monochrome picture of him along with wife Gauri Khan and lil munchkin AbRam, all three sporting a tilak on their forehead. But, it looks like the post did not go down well with the netizens, who trolled him mercilessly on social media. The trolls called the superstar mean names and trolled him for sporting a tilak. King Khan wished his beloved fans on the special occasion of Diwali with this picture and wrote, "May your lives be lit up and happy." Check out his post below:

While some stated that the Tilak is photoshopped, others trolled him for sporting the Tilak along with his family.

However, actress Shabana Azmi came to Khan’s rescue and slammed the trolls.

"Appalled to read that @iamsrk Diwali greeting invites the wrath of rabid Islamists, gets called a "False Muslim" for sporting a tilak!" FUNDOS get a life! Islam is not so weak that it stands threatened by what is a beautiful Indian custom. India's beauty is in her Ganga Jamuni tehzeeb, (sic)" Shabana Azmi wrote in a tweet.

For once I agree with these so called trolls who do have a point this time. There's no place for nationalism in Islam. And if you celebrate the festival of a non-Muslim, then you are one of them. I don't like to sound judgmental but seems like Shabana Azmi is also another fake Muslim. SRK, Salman, Aamir and other Muslims who are working in Bollywood are far far away from Islam and that's a fact. So these trolls are on point. SRK married a Hindu woman and allowed her to keep practicing Hinduism while he himself doesn't practice Islam at all. He has a mini temple in his house and his kids don't follow any religion but are more inclined towards Hinduism. Not only that but he also has a Quran placed beside the Geeta at home which is a huge insult to the Quran. That alone speaks volumes about what kind of a Muslim he is.
