Exactly! Those of us who remember him as the unlikely small fidgety nasal but charming outsider class clown Abhi and watched him become the top dog just because of his presence, this likeability, his niceness, and his legendary interviews. To go after him is a telling choice.

SRK is what used to be considered the "model Muslim". Doesn't wear his religion on his sleeve, Hindu wife, ergo mixed kids, playing roles of every religion, profession, social class. He played so many 21st century Indians, even defined us in many ways.
Sanghism's worst nightmare

Shahrukh is just Shahrukh.
I loved reading his interviews in the 90s. What an interesting and entertaining dude, fully loving the life he was living. Dilkhulaas guy!
Sanghis can't handle a success story like SRK cos it cuts at their core ideology of Muslims = not Indian.

In fact all these Khans with their Hindu wives or girlfriends are a major MAJOR counter point, clinching evidence against the Sanghi vision of a segregated India where inter faith marriages are bad by default and harder by law. Where Muslims stay hidden, if not stop existing.
Their most frequent targets are the 3 Khan's with Hindu wives.
Salman seems to get a pass. He does suck up to Modi actively. Plus his mother is a Marathi brahmin. This fact was often repeated by sanghis proudly in Pune when I was growing up. How Salman is half KoBra!

The obsession over what Saif names his kids and deciding he is anti Indian... The guy whose great grandfather literally wrote the national anthem and whose dad captained the Indian team... If he can be made anti national, anyone can be made anti national. That's their strategy.
It's a fascist flex. That if we can turn even SRK, Aamir, Saif into villains... Who literally live the unity in diversity multi religious secularism dream and look good doing it... then we can turn ANY Muslim into a villain.
That has always been the main goal.

The sentiment behind #BoycottPathaan or #BoycottBollywood is pure distilled bigotry against Muslims
AND
the vision of an orthodox India segregated along religious and caste lines. Like Golwalkar dreamed.

Oh yeah! We were told how Sushila tai only changed her name to Salma cos less paperwork getting married that way. But she is very much "aapli". And how Salman grew up speaking Marathi. And all that special status.
