Shah Rukh Khan’s farewell gesture to India’s biggest singing icon has itself turned iconic

India yesterday (Feb. 6) bid adieu to her favourite singer Lata Mangeshkar. In a farewell gesture to the legend, Bollywood heartthrob Shah Rukh Khan stepped up the platform on which the legendary singer’s body was placed for cremation at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park ground yesterday evening. Photographs and videos of these moments moved millions of Indians, especially on social media, as this was viewed as the coming together, one last time, of two distinct religious streams of India to bid farewell to one of its giants.
