Bollywood superstars Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan are under attack from Shiv Sena which has labeled the duo as “2 Idiots”.
First it was SRK who was under heat for supporting the inclusion of Pakistani cricketers in the IPL, and now it’s Aamir. On Friday, Aamir’s one comment infuriated the Sena, when he became vocal about the selection procedure of players in IPL and said that if he were to select players he would do so only on the basis of their performance and not nationality.
The party’s Hindi mouthpiece ‘Dopahar Ka Saamna’ said in a statement: “In real life, Aamir and Shah Rukh have been proved as ‘2 Idiots’ as both are making stupid statements supporting the cause of Pakistani cricketers.”
The party’s MP Sanjay Raut even said about Shahrukh that if the actor was so keen on them (Pak players), “he could go play his matches in Lahore, not in India.”
Meanwhile, on Sunday, the Sena activists took a morcha to SRK’s residence Mannat. The vibhag pramukhs of Sena have also written to theatres owners in Mumbai, telling them not to screen Khan’s upcoming movie My Name Is Khan which releases on February 12.
