Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's cousin Nurjahan is contesting for Pakistan's upcoming parliamentary election. Nurjahan took nomination papers from Pakistan's Election Commission in Islamabad as an independent candidate from Peshawar seat (Seat No. 77) of the Pakistan parliament. On the other hand, social media has made negative comments on Twitter about Shahrukh's Pakistanis. His sister is participating in the Pakistan parliament elections, taking Pakistani cricketer to Kolkata Knight Riders at the beginning of the IPL season, taking Pakistan's heroine Mahira Khan in Rais' film, funding for the flood relief in Pakistan - Shah Rukh Khan is being attacked on such topics. Someone again questioned the patriotism of Shahrukh. But many people have opposed these criticisms. According to them, Nurjahan is taking part in the elections in Pakistan, why is Shahrukh being involved? Pakistan's relatives are guilty of crime?
Shahrukh Khan is now in London with wife Gauri Khan and daughter Sohana, now in London. There is no comment from him or any of his spokesmen about these social media criticisms.

Want to work for women empowerment. If we win the elections, we want to highlight the issues of women in the parliament. '
Nurjahan's brother Monsoon started the campaign for his son. He said, 'Our family is not brand new in politics. My family and my ancestors were involved in the movement of Abdul Ghaffar Khan's Khidmatgar movement. Our family has political continuity. My sister Nurjahan was earlier a councilor of Ward in Peshawar. '
After partition, the family of Shahrukh and his uncle (Nurjahan's father's family) became residents of different countries. Shahrukh Khan's regular engagement with sister is there while he is beyond the border. Nurjahan met Shahrukh and his family twice in Mumbai and met Nurjahan.
