Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's fans are not happy these days and slamming the news channel for allegedly propagating fake propaganda against 'King Khan'. After Zee News and Aaj Tak, BoycottNewsNation has been trending atop on Twitter after a journalist of the news channel shared a clip of Shah Rukh Khan from Don 2 and accused him of spreading hate against Saffron. Saffron has its own significance in India, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is famously called saffron and the colour is linked to the Hindus. Saffron is also present in India's national flag signifying 'strength and courage' of the country.
Now, for those still wondering about #BoycottNewsNation trending reason, here's what happened. A journalist named Shubham Tripathi who also happens to be a producer of News Nation shared a Shah Rukh Khan's clip on his Twitter handle and hinted that the Bollywood actor is against the Hindus (Saffron). The shared clip of Shah Rukh Khan is from Don 2, when Priyanka Chopra comes to meet him in jail and asks how is he feeling. Although Shah Rukh Khan says that he is feeling good, he adds that he has a problem with the colour he is wearing i.e. saffron.
Although Shah Rukh Khan was trying to say that he did not like being a prisoner, the journalist linked it to the Bollywood actor's hate towards the Hindus community.
