NEW DELHI, Sept 23 — Actor Shah Rukh Khan, known as the “King of Bollywood,” happens to be a Muslim. Some analysts say his religion has become a painful thorn in the side of Narendra Modi’s India, where Hindu nationalism is on the rise.
Some observers believe that such animosity towards the Bollywood icon, who presents and promotes a secular image of his country, stems from a larger Hindu-nationalist plan to portray people from minorities as some kind of “second-class citizens.” The BJP vehemently denies this allegation. “His [Khan’s] personal life mirrors the ‘idea of India,’ especially to the global audience. He’s a Muslim man in a Hindu-majority country, married to a Hindu wife, but has children growing up taking up whatever religion they want to,” the journalist told DW.“Should his [Khan’s] religion matter?” asked Dr. Ranjani Mazumdar, professor of Cinema Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University.
“Yes, he becomes a threat because Bollywood is massive, which is why the government of the day is using it as propaganda to vilify Muslims.” Ayyub told DW. “This constant targeting of Shah Rukh Khan is coming from a space of ‘why is he still standing tall?’ There is a long history there,” the journalist underlined., Khan delivers an unprecedented monologue on voting and electing a candidate who is not prejudiced towards caste and religion.
