TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Indian Bollywood Movie Star, Shahrukh Khan drew attention after it was discovered that he had committed Umrah. Meanwhile, it is very rare to find Indian artists performing Umrah. What is the religious side of the Indian star?
Religious Differences in Shah Rukh Khan’s Family
As reported from indiatimes.commoment India celebrating the 71st Republic Day in 2020, the internet was flooded with patriotic messages and wishes. Amid these warnings, a video of Shah Rukh Khan expressing his views on religion has gone viral on the internet.
The actor recently visited the show’s set and clips of him talking about religion were shared on social media.
In Hindi, the star says, “Humne koi Hindu-Musalman ki baat hi nahi ki. My wife is Hindu, I am Muslim. Aur only jo bacche hain, wo Hindustan hain. Jab wo school gaye to school me wo bharna padta hai ki agama kya hai. For jab meri beti choti thi, usne aa ke pucha bhi mujhse ek baar, ‘Daddy hum kaun se religion ke hain?’ Maine usme ye likha ki hum India hi hain yaar, koi agama nahi hai. Aur hona bhi nahi chahiye.
When interpreted, the meaning of his words is as follows: “There is no Hindu-Muslim among them. My wife is Hindu and I am Muslim, my children are Indian. When they went to school, we had to fill in the religion section. My daughter asked me ‘what is our religion?’ and I wrote that we are Indians, we have no other religion and that should not happen either.”
However, recently, social media has been flooded with photos and videos circulating indicating that Shah Rukh Khan is performing Umrah. On his occasion in Saudi Arabia, he took the time to perform the Umrah pilgrimage to Mecca on December 1, 2022.
