Shaan reacts to criticism over viral Eid post: ‘I know how to respect everyone’s culture’ – WATCH video | Hindi Movie News
Check out his post here:
In the video, he revealed that while he had initially thought of ignoring trolls who criticised him for his attire in the post, he had to share this video since the number of negative comments kept increasing.
Watch the video here:
He said, “I have been seeing the comments on it, that why, despite being a Hindu, I posted that where I am dressed as Muslims would. I have gone to the Golden Temple as well and shared photos where you are required to cover your head. But there, I did not see such reactions. Even on occasions like Ram Navami, we post pictures wearing ethnic Indian clothes for the feel of it. I fail to comprehend how respecting a faith or culture can possibly hurt your religion.”
Further, he added, “This is not a justification, but because I wanted to talk about this a bit more. If you want to give that occasion or moment its due respect in a certain way, why is there such an issue over it? That post or that wish is not going to change the way I feel about my faith or you about yours. So why so much noise over it? We are a progressive nation. Agar hum me tolerance na ho toh kaise aagey badhenge(but if we cannot even harbour this much respect and tolerance, then how will we progress)? I want people to think about these things. I am a Hindu and Brahmin, but I am also a person and I am an Indian, so I know how to respect everyone’s culture.”
As soon as he shared the video, his friends and fans showered love in the comment section. Singer Akriti Kakar wrote, “Absolutely with you Captain! We haven’t been taught this.. we love the mankind and all love is our only religion.(sic)” Bengali singer Rupam Islam reacted, “Great thoughts. Love you always @singer_shaan & respect for your message to keep the true spirit of india alive.(sic)”
A fan also commented, “Shaan I’m a bigger fan today. Exactly the thoughts of progressive true Indians. God bless(sic)”
