The actor has on various occasions celebrated festivals that aren’t a part of his religion because he is secular person. However, some Twitter users can’t seem to wrap their heads around the idea and bashed the actor for being a Muslim and celebrating Diwali with his family.
Muslim hote howe Hindu ka Fareeza Ada karna sharam ki Bat hy

Actor Shabana Azmi tweeted in defense of Shah Rukh, stating that it is a beautiful Indian tradition and every person has a right to celebrate it.
Appalled to read that @iamsrk Diwali greeting invites wrath of rabid Islamists, gets called a “False Muslim” for sporting a tilak!”FUNDOS get a life! Islam is not so weak that it stands threatened by what is a beautiful Indian custom.Indias beauty is in her GangaJamuni tehzeeb
