While some chooses to criticize him for doing nothing, many of his fans also came for his rescue.

What should SRK do (as corrective actions) if his cousin has applied to contest general elections in Pakistan?
How many Indians like SRK has relatives in Pakistan?
Your advice will apply to everyone there so speak sensibly.

What is there to feel ashamed if SRK's cousins live in Pak and 1 of his cousin sister is going to join politics of her country? Rather reply positively without showing outrage and wish best for her. Pakistan se ho ya USA se, achhi kaam kare aur SRK ki naam roshan kare. #NoorJahan

@iamsrk has done so much for this country...he is the only INDIAN to get an award from UNESCO for his incredible Charity work! So, why are ppl questioning his PATRIOTISM towards INDIA just because his cousin Noor Jehan contests election in Pakistan? #srk
