Shah Rukh Khan Has Been Getting Trolled By Indians Because His Cousin Is Contesting In Pakistan’s Election

Due to the partition of the Subcontinent, a lot of Pakistanis and Indians have family members on either side of the border. I have some, you have some and yup, Shah Rukh Khan has some too.

Recently it came to light that a cousin of Shah Rukh Khan, the Bollywood actor, is contesting in the General Elections in Pakistan

Noor Jehan is Shah Rukh Khan’s cousin and she lives in Peshawar. After much thought, she decided to contest elections from Peshawar as an independent candidate. Of course, being related to one of the world’s biggest stars has its perks, one of them being that this news went up everywhere; both in India and in Pakistan.

Sadly, the reaction from India hasn’t been all too great 🙁

Trolls attacked SRK and told him to ‘go to Pakistan’

Stuff got pretty intense pretty fast!

I know SRK has reason to love Pakistan…He should contest there too…

Thankfully sanity did prevail over this madness

SRK fans did come to his rescue

Pakistanis were shocked by how bad the trolling had gotten

Quite Surprised to see the approach of my neighbours… Come on, thats his cousin, not SRK taking part in pak election. He is responsible for his acts, not caretaker of his all the cousins nd whats going on in their lives, Grow up mates.

Kaafi hatred spread hogaya

If only everyone thought the same way….

Listen Shah Rukh Khan has nothing to do with all this… You have no right to drag his name in all this. Many Indians have their relatives in Pakistan and many of them might be in politics also so there's nothing wrong…

It’s really sad to see how something so minor triggered so many to hate on someone who is so beloved. Hopefully the trolling will die down soon.

Good luck to Noor Jehan on the upcoming elections:)

What do you make of all this? Let us know in the comments.
