Mumbai: After a few politicians called superstar Shah Rukh Khan a “Pakistani agent”, “deshdrohi” (traitor) and even likened him to Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed for commenting on the growing intolerance in India, the actor’s “Happy New Year” co-star Sonu Sood has come out in his defence and said the ‘King’ Khan is “grounded”, “generous” and “speaks from his heart”.

Sonu interacted with his fans on Friday over a quick question and answer session on Twitter.

A user asked him if he was supporting Shah Rukh.

“SRK is the most grounded and generous actor I have come across who speaks from his heart (sic),” Sonu tweeted.

Even Anupam Kher has come out in SRK’s support after BJP MP Yogi Adityanath targetted him, likening Shah Rukh to Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed following the actor’s comment that there was growing intolerance in India. Kher himself is a supporter of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Earlier, senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya had called SRK a ‘deshdrohi’ (traitor) while his party colleague Sadhvi Prachi dubbed him a “Pakistani agent”.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
