It seems that B-Town actor Hrithik Roshan is going through a very bad and difficult phase of his life and to some extent, he himself is responsible and invited all the problems and criticism on his part. Whether he accepts or not, firstly divorce with wife Sussain Khan and then alleged break up with actress Kangana Ranaut must have shaken him internally. And what added to his troubles is the legal suit which he is already facing and here came another for his tweet about the Pope.
It was the beginning of his online scuffle with Kangana when the actress targeted Hrithik Roshan saying such silly things are done by “exes” who seek attention. And with this statement, it was speculated that maybe Hrithik was the reason of her being ousted from “Aashiqui 3”.
Hrithik didn’t like this comment and tweeted this as a reply:
You need to read it twice to get what happened with the actor this time!
“Ther r more chances of me having had an affair with d Pope dan any of d (Im sure wonderful)women d media hs ben naming.Thanks but no thanks.”
Hrithik has got a legal notice for “hurting religious sentiments” of Christians by making this tweet, as per reports. Some Abraham Mathai who’s recognized as Indian Christian Voice’s All India President has sent this notice. The organization represents Christian (including Roman Catholics) community’s interests in the country.
“Our client Dr Abraham Mathai, who is a Christian by birth and faith… is extremely hurt by your disobedient and inexcusable comments, which has hurt the religious feelings and sentiments of majority of Christians across the world,” as mentioned in the notice.
Dr Abraham demanded an unconditional apology from the actor and this is what he stated while talking to reporters, “We demand Mr Roshan recants his statement and issues an unconditional apology. While we respect Mr Roshan’s personal life including his right to choose who he wishes to be in a relationship with, we do take offense at dragging a religious head into it just so attention may be diverted, and the media glare move away. Such statements are irresponsible and not called for by a celebrity, thousands of whose fans are from the Catholic community and who believe that the Pope is their religious and revered head.”
“Hrithik Roshan has the right to have a relationship with anyone, but he doesn’t have the right to draw in the Pope. This has unfortunate inferences — it suggests that the Pope is gay. I’ve asked Roshan for an unconditional apology. It hurts the Catholic community for whom the Pope is a revered personality,” stated Mathai during the interview with Scroll.
If you are not aware of what exactly Indian Penal Code’s Section 295A states, here it is, “Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs – Whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of any class of citizens of India, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs or by visible representations or otherwise, insults or attempts to insult the religion or the religious beliefs of that class, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both.”
Things are really turning out to be worse for Hrithik and it’s high time he takes vital steps to escape the situation.
