Did SRK just spit while paying his last respects to #LataMangeshkar? @totalwoke2 @BhaiiSamrat @randm_indianguy @VarunKrRana @ElvishYadav @MeghBulletin @engineer_inside pic.twitter.com/LI0RPCS38o

As per many netizens, the actor was, in fact, 'blowing air' which is apparently a common practice in Islam.

SRK didn't spit there. He blew, which is a common practice in Islam. Muslims do blow air from their mouth after reciting Ayats from Holy Quran.

RWs are making issue out of nothing that too in the death of an eminent personality. #LataMangeshkar#ShivajiPark#ShahRukhKhan

"Can't believe SRK spitted on #LataDidi's body while paying his "last respect" to her... Even if your Mazhab teaches you this, practice this at your home or with your own people..." a Twitter user wrote.

A second user wrote, "Shame on SRK who spitted on #LataDidi's body while paying his "last respect" to her."
