Saffron in ‘Besharam Rang’: Shah Rukh, Deepika Song in News for All the Wrong Reasons

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer, the much-awaited “Pathaan” movie has been making news for all the wrong reasons ever since a song —  ‘Besharam Rang’ — was released. Most protests and reactions are around a saffron outfit donned by Deepika for the song.  The video has received heavy criticism from Hindu outfits,  BJP leaders, including Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra.

After Mishra, Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) national spokesperson Vinod Bansal also demanded that the movie be banned and boycotted. Bansal shared a video,  slamming Deepika’s dress in the lyrics ‘Besharam Rang’. Bansal took to Twitter and wrote: “Can a Pathan who believes in Islam film such scenes with a woman with Muslim symbols!! There is a limit to the absurdity of love jihadis..!!”

The leader also made a video, slamming the song. He said: “Calling saffron shameless, what a bold scene to show a Hindu woman wearing a saffron dress and becoming a puppet of Islamic Jihadis? There is a limit to treason too! Hindu society will no longer be able to tolerate these brothers and tukde tukde gang who tarnish Bollywood by defaming it.”

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Wednesday objected to actor Deepika Padukone’s costume in a song of Bollywood film “Pathaan” and also frowned upon the colour of the attire of Padukone and lead actor Shah Rukh Khan, calling for its “rectification”.
