Urmila Matondkar reacts to those accusing Shah Rukh Khan of 'spitting' at Lata Mangeshkar's funeral

Actress Urmila Matondkar, who was seen arriving at legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar's house with her husband on Sunday, has come out in support of Shah Rukh Khan. A video of the superstar from Lata ji's last rites is going viral on the internet. SRK along with his manager was seen offering a dua while paying his last respects to Lata ji during her last rites. Several social media users went on to accuse the superstar of 'spitting' at Lata ji's mortal remains while a lot of celebs have come out in support of the star.

Urmila has now reacted to the entire episode in a recent interview. She said that we have 'deteriorated' so much that we think praying is spitting.

In an interview with a regional channel, the actress said that politics has reached such low levels and it's really sad. Urmila also spoke about SRK - the actor who has represented the country on various international platforms.

Lata Mangeshkar passed away on February 6 at the age of 92. The doctor said that she passed away due to multiple organ failure. She was cremated with full state honours at Dadar's Shivaji Park. Urmila took to Twitter to mourn the music legend's demise. She wrote, "Apart from being a #Legend an exemplary life of a #Daughter of #India who showed us what a daughter can achieve n stand tall for the entire #family #RIPLataMangeshkar सबको सन्मती दे भगवान."

PM Narendra Modi and other personalities from the world of entertainment and politics were seen arriving at the last rites of Lata Mangeshkar.
