After Sonu Nigam, now Suchitra Krishnamoorthi triggers controversy with her 'azaan' remarks
She expressed her annoyance over azan's being played over loudspeaker that was as per her 'ear shattering' and 'aggressive'.
The actress tweeted: "Came home at 4.45 am 2 most aggressive/ ear shattering call of azaan. Nothing more lowlife & dumb than such extreme imposed religiousity."
Reacting to her tweet, one netizen Archana Sharma posted: "Don't invite troubles ma'am...Sonu Nigam ji had to quit Twitter because of same observation. Ppl u think r with u won't speak a single word."
Suchitra was quick in saying: Well the azaan seems to have gotten louder since his tweet. Its ridiculous. He tweeted from same location as me."
She said: "I wake up at Brahmamuhurt of my own accord & do my prayers & riyaz.& yoga. I dont need public loudspeakers to remind me of my God or my duty."
The actress said: "Nobody objects to azaan or prayers during decent hours. But to be wakung up entire neighbourhood at 5 am is not civilized."
Sonu Nigam with a series of tweets recently sparked a controversy when he said he hated being woken up in morning by the sound of azaan calling it "forced religiousness" since he is not a Muslim.
"God bless everyone. I'm not a Muslim and I have to be woken up by the Azaan in the morning. When will this forced religiousness end in India," he asked in his tweet which triggered a huge online reaction.
Suchitra had worked in Bollywood movie Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa.
It featured Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role.
