I think there was some confusion that some hindu terrorists had attacked SRK's bungalow after he made some pro-valentine statements. But it turns out this was only because of some poor misguided muslim youth who misunderstood a few things. May i please request Ms Susan to still send these fellows an honorary pink chaddi ?

An upset Shah Rukh Khan tells MiD DAY from London that the attacks on his bungalow and at Gaiety over a song in Billu are unwarranted and give the community a bad name
Shah Rukh Khan is a disturbed man. After three unidentified men threw a glass bottle apparently containing some inflammable substance inside his bungalow, Mannat, at Bandra on Thursday night, a group of Muslims attacked Bandra's Gaiety theatre screening the actor's latest movie, Billu, yesterday.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Shah Rukh spoke to some maulvis and leaders of Muslim groups to explain that there was nothing objectionable about the lyrics of Marjani.
"They had misunderstood the meaning of the song. The line goes as:Â Hey rab ke hazur mein kasmein bhi kha li. The word hazur used in the song means 'in the presence', but the Muslim groups thought it was a reference to Huzoor, which is also used for Prophet Mohammad.
After I explained the real meaning, they had no problems." <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Word has not gone out from maulvis apparently. Some other confused youth are still not happy it seems.

It is not the first time that an objection is being raised on the song "Marjani Marjani'' in the film. On the day of release, a group had protested outside G7 multiplexes. The protesters objected to words "Rab ke hazoor mein kasmein bhi khaali li, duniya ki oni boni kasmein nibhadi', which they say insults Prophet Mohammed.
"The song has hurt the sentiments of the Muslim community,'' said Chintu Shaikh. On Tuesday, he submitted a letter (on a MNS letterhead) to the manager of Kalpana Talkies in Kurla (West) asking the cinema to stop screening of the film.
"The manager quickly refunded money to those who had bought tickets and has withdrawn the film,'' he said, adding that similar protests are being carried out in other parts of the state, including Nashik and Malegaon. "We want the film to change the verses and Irrfan Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Gulzar to issue an apology,'' Chintu Shaikh said. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
