Bal Thackeray, through Sena mouthpiece Saamna, criticised Shah Rukh for being insensitive and celebrating while people were dying in the blasts.

Twitterverse has reportedly been abuzz since, with fans rooting for the superstar and Sena afficionados and others slamming him.

Sahil Juneja, 22-year-old restauranteur and entrepreneur offers an explanation, "but that's also a possibility k party pehle start ho gai aur attacks baad me hue.. Haan?? Isme bura manne wali kya baat hai.."

While Sonika from New Delhi is not so convinced, "Those who are suffering because of attacks sure don't care what SRK or Aish were doing."

"King Khan is a real king in Bollywood, millions of people follow him. It's sad that he tweets and says that he enjoyed the party to the core, shame on him!" criticised a 23-year-old software engineer while admitting that he has never been a fan of SRK.

Some say that it is unfair to criticise Shah Rukh for throwing a party in the wake of the blasts.

"It is not right to say that just because he attended a party he showed disrespect to the victims."

Another SRK fan spoke up on behalf of his idol saying, "I am sure, silently he must have prayed or even supported or met the families. Only negative news comes in the media; we rarely get to see anything positive about celebrities."

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan has kept mum through the whole debate.
