‘Will burn SRK alive’: Ayodhya seer Paramhans Acharya’s threat on Pathaan row

The controversy over Pathhan’s Besharam Rang song refuses to die down with new complaints being filed against the song every day, and new threats being issued.

The latest to target Shah Rukh Khan in this ongoing row is Ayodhya seer Paramhans Acharya who said he will burn hah Rukh Khan alive if he ever meets him. The video of him issuing the threat has gone viral. “Today we burnt his posters. The movie Pathhan has insulted the saffron colour. If I find jihadi Shah Rukh Khan anywhere, I will burn him alive.”

Earlier, Mahant Raju Das, the priest of Hanuman Garhi, appealed to people to burn down the theatres where Pathaan will be released. “Bollywood and Hollywood always attempt to make fun of the Sanatan religion. The way saffron has been used by Deepika Padukone as a bikini is hurtful to us. What was the necessity to wear saffron as bikini? I appeal to people to boycott the movie. Burn down the theatres where the movie will be screened because otherwise they will not understand. You have to be evil to counter evil,” Raju Das said.

Several complaints have been filed against the Besharam Rang song alleging that Deepika Padukone’s saffron bikini is hurtful to Hindu sentiments.
