Amitabh gets SMS threat for visiting holy shrines

Last Updated 31 October 2009, 16:49 IST

 
The sexagenarian, who often mentions his routines on his blog, mentioned his visit to Haji Ali Dargah and the nearby Siddhivinayak temple here on Thursday.

“That I visit a Muslim dargah and a Hindu temple has been viciously criticised by an unknown element on my mobile. He says it is incorrect of me to do so and that I should never do it again,” Amitabh wrote on his blog bigb.bigadda.com

Actor unperturbed

However, the actor is unperturbed. “We live in a secular society where we learn to respect all religions. My belief is of my own making. If the temple or the mosque or a dargah has no objection to my visits; if my Constitution gives me that freedom then who is this man to stop me or correct me? I am going to do it again and shall continue to do it. And I want to see how you are going to stop me. If you have the courage and guts come and get me,” said the actor. Further criticising the message, he said it was an “obscene mobile sermon.”
