Islam and Hinduism preach brotherhood: Shahrukh Khan

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has always been a staunch supporter and believer of Indian secularism.

The actor was the main guest 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 Ramzan.

Speaking at the event, SRK appealed to the Indian youth to shun terrorism and violence. He also called for communal harmony in the wake of recent terrorist attacks in the country. He insisted that the major religions of India preach brotherhood.

"The fact that Singh has been organising a Davat-e-Sehri proves 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.

The actor has been busy shooting Aditya Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and his home production Billoo Barber .

Movie star Shah Rukh Khan, detained at an airport in the US for questioning again, tweeted on Thursday: "Every damn time!" The 50-year-old actor was detained at the Los Angeles airport this time.
