Mumbai, September 29: : Appealing for communal harmony in the wake of recent Terror attacks across the country, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has asked the youth to shun terrorism and violence.

The actor was speaking at 'Davat-e-Sehri', a function organised by Mumbai Congress President Kripashankar Singh in the early hours of Sunday, prior to the fast observed during 'Roza'.

"The fact that Singh has been organising a 'Davat-e-Sehri' proved that Islam and Hinduism preach brotherhood and peace," he said.

"Ramzan is a holy month and God answers our special prayers during this period. The 27th day of Roza is a day of piety," Shah Rukh said.

The actor said he was not able to observe Roza for the entire month of Ramzan.

"I could manage only seven days. It was not possible due to my erratic work schedule," Shah Rukh said.

mean what u say by Rajeev on 2008-09-30 11:23:24.650473+05:30
This brotherhood and peace talk looks too sweet and bookish. Now sure about Shahruk, but for most of our leaders, it is just another lip service they do. The most important thing for all the ordinary Indians is how to think rationally and remain positive and keep striving for peace when the situation is really demanding it. There can not be a perfect world and there never was. We will these elements like weeds coming up every now and them. But important thing is, identify those weeds and remove them. Don't develope affection for these weeds otherwise we now we are reaping. Pakistan is a good example.

Its true that now india's youth have to stand up and fight terrorism. doesn't matter what is our religion, we all are indians and can not let anyone to take away our freedom to live peacefully in our own country. terrorists don't have any religion. therefore, we have no reason to fight with eachother because of some stupid cowards who hide their faces when killing innocents.
To all SRK Fans by Sri on 2008-09-30 03:00:46.555812+05:30
Who cares. Anyways, this is an eye wash and it is not direct. We heard the story bhai-bhai story a million times and see what is happening. He is scared to say it direct and you can also see what his bros like JK here under have to say. Only his Hindu fans are with him.

This site is really very good.
More such talk required by shiv on 2008-09-29 17:14:56.484682+05:30
Since the terrorists are also well educated and may be reading some such messages, Shah Rukh and his likes should comment and condemn their acts. They should speak publicly often and go on the media exhorting the terrorists organizations that most of these islamic terrorists are demeaning islam and are putting all to shame. May be they will understand and mend their ways. Who does not want peace (excepting some politicians and religious heads who incite and indoctrinate others to take to terrorism)and a trouble free life? These terrorists may also want to settle down in life, get married, have children and have a nice time like so many others.
With you by Mahesh on 2008-09-29 16:47:00.94231+05:30
Well Said. No star has conveyed such a bold remark yet.
Terrorism by Vaid S C K on 2008-09-29 16:19:40.397502+05:30
Message is great and needs to be taken on its face value. There are differences even in the families. Shia and Sunni are also indulging in violence. Each community members fight amongst themselves. There is need for more tolerance if we want to live in peace and in interest of future generations. Elderly people from all the communities must come out and demonstrate solidarity and set example for youth.

Very Good Shah Rukh bhai. You said it very well. But one question. How come that the so called celebrities and leaders among Muslims never publicly call the likes of Osama Bin Laden, Al Zavahiri, etc. etc. as Khafirs. It is indeed these people and their lieutenants are the ones who propagates so called Holy War and exhorting youths to be fidayeen or place Bombs in public places in order to kill innocent citizens, including Muslims and theirby incite communal fire.

support people who talk sense
by Rajeev on 2008-09-29 15:59:49.040163+05:30
You watch his movies to cry and laugh, you die for his autograph and rush for his glimpse, you take his words when he is selling a product, you make him a superstar...but when he speaks sense, talks about positive things, does his bit as a human beyond his aura YOU SHUN HIM. That's strange!
