🤢 Isn't it ironic that Muslim stars (SRK, Aamir, Salman, Katrina) have ruled Hindi cinema for quite a while now? I have never seen a star from Hindi cinema rule and beat the Khans. Perhaps only Akshay Kumar or Hritik Roshan were the closet competitors, but the Khans have been in hearts of moviegoers for 2 decades now. And from the actresses today, a Muslim star has ruled for a while now (Katrina). Aish, Priyanka, Kareena are there but not hot with moviegoers like Katrina is. 🤢
And Hindi moviegoers make fun of Pakistani cinema all the time and obviously, it is not on the level of Bollywood.
I guess Muslim stars have been more charismatic and energetic than India's stars. What do you think? Kind of shocking, interesting, and sad at the same time....😲

FYI Muslim stars are Indians as well, they are not Pakistani stars 😊

Err, just because someone is a Muslim does NOT mean they are not Indian. Or that they are Pakistani. Being Muslim is a religion and being Indian is a nationality. They are as Indian as any Hindu or Christian. It's rather ignorant to think otherwise.

And no, it's NOT sad. Their stardom has nothing to do with their religion, it has to do with their talent. And there are also many stars that are Hindu: Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Preity Zinta, Ranbir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit to name a few.

India is a mix of different religions and I think that's something to be very proud of.

I think rather than looking at the Religion of people.....and dividing ourselves on the basis of Caste ,Creed and Religion...!
We should consider ourselves true Indians first !!
People need to grow up and put such differences aside...!
A person is not good or bad by Religion/Caste....But by Deeds....!!
And those aforementioned actors (SRK,Aamir and Sallu) have proved time and again that they are more loyal to India than many Indians themselves !!! They revel in the fact that they are Indians !!😊😛
Learn to speak the language of Love and Kindness....
Lemme quote one of the beautiful lines from a song -
"Chanda Suraj Lakhon Taare...Hain Jab tere hi ye saare...Kis baat pe hoti hain phir takraarein..."
Kheenchi hai Lakeerein is Zameen pe...Par na Kheecho dekho...Beech me do Diloon ke ye Deewarein "
Today Humans have forgotten Humanity because of Religion/Caste Disputes !! Itna bhi neeche mat giro ki upar uthne ki Umeed hi na bache !!! Retain HUMANITY first....!

What the F.........
For your information all the stars you mentioned are Indians first and whether they are muslims, hindus , christians, sikhs etc is secondary.
You are the one who is shocking and sad to open such topics. 😡

There is a difference b/w nationality and religion. Moreso, such topics (I personally feel) lead to unneccsary fights. India is a diverse country with many cultures residing side by side.

Topic closed as this will most likely create fights, and may hurt the sentiments of members.
