Islamabad: (Showbi Reporter) a doctored video of Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has gone viral, especially in India, where he is heard saying he is a “proud Pakistani”. In the interview, Khan is speaking of religion and the minority community.
In the 14-second-long viral interview video clip, Shah Rukh is heard saying, “I’m Islamic by birth and I believe in Allah and his sayings and I’m very proud to be a Muslim, I’m very proud to be of this religion, I’m proud to be Pakistani.”
Furthermore this clip was published and making the trend on Twitter with the caption: “Shah Rukh Khan says, I am proud to be Muslim & Pakistani!!”
According to the interview; Shah Rukh Khan was talking to entertainment journalist Omar Qureshi. In the actual version, Qureshi asked Khan if he faced any discrimination being a Muslim in India.
Responding to the question, Khan said “he felt special being a Muslim and he had also read Hindu religious texts because of his Hindu wife, Gauri Khan.”
Meanwhile Khan is also added “I am very proud to be a Muslim. I am very proud to be of this religion. I am very proud to be an Indian.”
Actually happened; in the morphed video, the editor added “Pakistani” instead of “Indian” to make false accusations against the actor.
The word “Pakistani” seems to be extracted from the same interview when Khan was asked about a 2009 incident at Newark airport in the USA when he was detained and interrogated for hours.
According to the source, he can be heard saying: “The people at immigration were Indians and Pakistanis who knew me.”
Khan has shown time and again that he is proud to be an Indian. He has taken roles in movies depicting him as a patriot like ‘Chakk de India’ and ‘Swades’.
Recently, on India’s Independence Day he uploaded a video of the Indian flag being raised at his home.
