Shahrukh Khan on the Mumbai tragedy
Shahrukh Khan has revealed his thoughts his thoughts on the Mumbai atrocities for the first time. Speaking exclusively to Raj and Pablo for this Saturday's (6 December) 'Love Bollywood' Show on BBC Asian Network, SRK speaks openly about why he hasn't talked about the attacks till now as well as his views on what the younger generation of Muslims should be concentrating on.
Shahrukh said, "I've tried to keep away from commenting on this as there are no words to express about such a situation because our feelings are mixed with anger, disbelief and sadness."
In light of the horrific attacks, Shahrukh went on to voice his thoughts on religion and the younger Muslim generation. "Being Muslim myself, I believe youngsters need to understand Islam and respect the religion in the right way. It's such a huge waste and my appeal to all in these times and in recent years is that please can we run what we want in terms of politics, government, jobs and teaching our children with the prime motive of taking communalism out of it. I think no agenda should be attached to any kind of religion."
Shahrukh spoke passionately about his views on what he feels should be the only religion the nation's children should follow: 'work'; he goes on to say, "The religion our children are born with should be something they practice as a discipline and work should be developed as the new religion."
