Negi alleged that the scene, featuring Deepika in the song 'Tu Mil Jaaye', was intended to insult Hindus and followers of Sanatan Dharma.

"I warn Shah Rukh Khan of a nationwide boycott of King if this scene is not edited," Negi said speaking to Dainik Samachar, adding, "It's a conspiracy to defame Sanatanis."

BJP MLA recalls Pathaan controversy

Negi also recalled the controversy surrounding Deepika's orange bikini in the song 'Besharam Rang' from the 2023 film Pathaan, which marked Shah Rukh Khan's comeback to the big screen.

"The Sanatanis won't tolerate it," the BJP leader warned the superstar, who turned 61 on November 2.

He also criticised Deepika for appearing in the allegedly controversial scene.

"As a celebrity, Deepika Padukone should also be ashamed of herself. They earn money from Hindustan but defame Sanatanis," Negi said.

"We will launch widespread protests if the scene is not removed," he added.

Negi also reportedly called SRK "a jihadi" accusing him of using Deepika as a "pawn".

Negi targets actors over Diwali cracker debate

In his remarks, Negi also drew a parallel with actor Dia Mirza's call for a ban on firecrackers during Diwali, accusing celebrities of maintaining double standards.

"They call for a ban on crackers on Diwali but remain silent on animal sacrifice on Eid," Negi said.
