Shah Rukh Khan and AbRam's Latest Instagram Picture is Getting Slammed By Netizens For Cultural Appropriation - View Pic!
Shah Rukh Khan and AbRam's latest picture is drawing a lot of criticism from Instagram users. Here's why!
The latest picture of Shah Rukh Khan and AbRam that was posted by Gauri Khan on her Instagram handle is not getting the usual 'awws' that it always does. Shah Rukh Khan and his son AbRam were recently snapped at the airport after the duo returned from London together. Looks like, Gauri just wanted to share a candid picture of Shah Rukh and AbRam from their recent trip but unfortunately the photo is receiving a lot of flak for it on social media.
Sharing the photo on her Instagram handle, Gauri captioned it, “Courchevel. The winter playground.” It seems the picture was clicked at a French ski resort.
Take a look at the picture:
In the picture, Shah Rukh and AbRam are seen wearing headgears with feathers and shrugs that are significant to Native American tribes. Naturally, this didn't go well with Instagram users on account of cultural appropriation. A user commented on the post saying, “Bollywood really needs to learn another cultures symbols and practices aren't for our aesthetics.”

Now according to Oxford Dictionaries, Cultural Appropriation is defined as: “The unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of the customs, practices, ideas, etc. of one people or society by members of another and typically more dominant people or society.” It is important that one must not confuse this with cultural exchange and hence today, the awareness about these issues is much higher.
