Mahira Khan apologises for the Shivsena Halloween Picture

Few days ago when Mahira Khan released a photo in a Cat Woman costume with a Shiv Sainik to send a message to the extremist religious party called Shiv Sena, everyone applauded her courage.

“This country is tolerant and the Muslims are tolerant as well. Shah Rukh is an artist and targeting him only because he is a Muslim is not right”, the Sena said in an editorial in its mouthpiece “Saamana”. The Raees star Mahira took the micro blogging site Twitter and tweeted series of tweets on the issue saying, “The image from a Halloween event I attended has been made out to be something it never was”.
