MUMBAI: The demise of Lata Mangeshkar has broken the hearts of millions of fans. The legendary singer who mesmerized the world with her voice for eight decades was cremated with full state honours in Mumbai. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, CM Uddhav Thackeray, Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, State Cabinet Ministers, and other top dignitaries along with the bereaved Mangeshkar clan were in attendance. In addition, common Indians mourned for the departed singer at the funeral venue.

Shortly after the completion of the religious rituals, a picture from the funeral ceremony went viral in which Shah Rukh Khan was seen raising his hands in dua (prayers) while his manager Pooja Dadlani joined hands to pay homage to the celebrated singer. The actor also paid floral tribute and touched Mangeshkar’s feet after reciting dua at Shivaji Park. Netizens called the glimpse ‘a picture of secular India’.

However, a section of people started condemning the actor accusing him of spitting near Mangeshkar’s mortal remains.  “Can’t believe SRK spitted on #LataDidi’s body while paying his “last respect” to her… Even if your Mazhab teaches you this, practice this at your home or with your own people…” a Twitter user wrote. While a section of netizens lambasted SRK for the alleged despicable act, another set of people clarified that he was simply ‘blowing’ for ‘Magfirat’ after reciting dua. “SRK didn’t spit there. He blew, which is a common practice in Islam. Muslims do blow air from their mouth after reciting Ayats from Holy Quran. RWs are making issue out of nothing that too in the death of an eminent personality”, a twitter user commented. Take a look below.
