Many celebrities from the Bollywood industry along with the netizens came forward in support of the actor. Including, actress and politician, Urmila Matondkar.

Shah Rukh Khan prayer photo:
During the last rites, Shah Rukh Khan was seen praying for Lata Mangeshkar’s peace by raising hands. He then ended his prayer by blowing on her mortal remains. Let us tell you, in Islam, the prayer is ended by blowing air on the mortal remains for the soul’s peace. The actor also paid a floral tribute to the singer and touched her feet while paying his last respects.
Almost everyone was touched by his kind gesture. But, a section of people criticised him for allegedly appearing to ‘spit’ on the mortal remains of Lata Mangeshkar. Speaking in Shah Rukh Khan’s support, Sanjay Raut said, “It is shameful the way people are trolling him (Shah Rukh Khan). Some people are doing politics in the name of religion even on the sad occurrence of Lata Ji’s demise. We all know who these people are. Nobody needs to be told.”
So, this was all about the politician Sanjay Raut on Shah Rukh Khan prayer photo from Lata’s funeral. Stay tuned to Bollywood Hush for the latest celebrity news and updates.
