Senior Bollywood actor Anupam Kher was on the receiving end of severe backlash recently after he posted a video of himself cooking eggs on Sunday. Netizens expressed their anger and disappointment over the fact that despite being a Hindu, Kher was cooking non vegetarian food during the holy month of Shravan.
As per the Hindu culture, followers of the faith must refrain from cooking and consuming non vegetarian food during the month of Shravan.
Kher himself shared the video on his social media handles in a bid to entertain his followers, but instead, his recipe only left them with a sour taste.

As soon as the video went viral, netizens slammed him for cooking eggs in Shravan despite being Hindu. "Self proclaimed staunch Kashmiri Pandit happily eating non veg in Shraavan," a user commented, while another wrote, "Shame on you, Non veg in Saawan."
