Even Anupam Kher tweeted in Shah Rukh Khan’s support

Some members of the BJP really need to control their tongue & stop talking rubbish about @iamsrk. He is a national icon & We r PROUD of him.

The backlash seems to have got to the BJP leader who, earlier in the day, retracted from his comments and tweeted that he didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s sentiments and he takes his comments back. Nevertheless, the love for SRK seems to overpower his apology; the hashtag is still trending.

अगर भारत में असहिष्णुता होती तो अमिताभ के बाद सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय अभिनेता शाहरुख़ न होते, मेरे ट्वीट को कुछ लोगो ने अलग अर्थो में लिया है। 1/2

मेरा उद्देश्य किसी को भी ठेस पहुँचाना कतई नहीं था। मैं अपना कल का ट्वीट वापिस लेता हूँ। 2/2
