Shah Rukh had shared a monochrome picture with toddler AbRam and wife Gauri Khan. The picture shows them celebrating the festival of light by wearong a ‘tika’ on their foreheads. “#HappyDiwali to everyone. May your lives be lit up and happy,” he wrote alongside the photo.
This isn't the first time that Shah Rukh or Shabana has been criticised on Twitter for their posts.
On Ganesh Chaturthi this year, the actor was trolled for sharing pictures where his youngest son AbRam was seen worshipping Lord Ganesha.
While, Shabana was labelled “anti-national” after speaking against the government. Reacting to the trolls, she had tweeted, “So much uproar over my one remark?” Shabana tweeted. “Didn’t realise I was so important in the eyes of the right wing. Muslim fundos also passed fatwa against me 4shaving my head for @IamDeepaMehta film ‘Water’ 2which @Javedakhtarjadu response on record was SHUT UP. All fundos r mirror images of each other.”
