FactCheck
Firstly, these types of news tweets give rise to a very serious question what is wrong in our society? It is debatable what is more insensitive, spreading this news on very emotional occasions like deaths where everyone is busy in mourning or believing in this news.
Looking at the video it is quite clear that Shahrukh was offering prayers for late Lata Ji. And, after that, he just blew air on her mortal remains as a sign of love and respect.

Conclusion
That is to say, people are sharing the viral video of Shahrukh Khan with fake and misleading claims. Hence, the viral video is heavily misinterpreted. And, the main concern with such news is that they have the potential to develop hate between different communities. Therefore, we must condemn those who try to spread misleading news that can disturb the peace and harmony of our country.
