Shah Rukh Khan To Aamir Khan: Celebrities Who Visited Holy City Mecca To Perform Umrah

Superstar
Shah
Rukh
Khan
took
over
the
internet
on
Friday
(December
2)
after
his
pictures
from
his
pilgrimage
to
Mecca
surfaced
on
social
media.
The
actor,
after
wrapping
up

Dunki’s
shoot
schedule
in
Saudi
Arabia,
left
for
Mecca
to
perform
Umrah,
which
is
the
holy
city
for
Muslims.
SRK
was
spotted
in
a
white
garment,
while
he
also
had
a
mask
covering
his
mouth.
The
actor
was
surrounded
by
people
and
security
personnel;
meanwhile,
his
viral
photos
have
thrilled
his
fans.

Earlier,
Shah
Rukh
Khan
had
expressed
his
desire
to
perform
Umrah
and
visit
the
holy
cities
of
Mecca
and
Madina.
In
an
interview
with
The
Times
of
India,
Khan
had
said,
“Hajj
is
definitely
on
my
agenda.
I
would
like
to
go
there
with
my
son
Aryan
and
daughter
Suhana,” he
had
said.

For
the
uninitiated,
the
white
garment
worn
by
Shah
Rukh
is
called
Rida
and
Izar,
which
men
wear
while
performing
Umrah.
Umrah
is
a
pilgrimage
to
Mecca,
which
is
situated
in
Saudi
Arabia.
It
can
be
done
at
any
time
of
the
year,
but
Hajj
is
performed
only
during
Eid
al-Azha,
which
is
a
duty
of
every
Muslim
according
to
the
Quran.

Before
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
there
have
been
many
actors
who
were
also
spotted
at
the
holy
city
performing
Umrah.
Let’s
take
a
look.

Aamir
Khan

Aamir
Khan
fulfilled
his
mother
Zainat
Hussein’s
desire
to
take
her
to
the
holy
pilgrimage
city
of
Mecca.
Aamir
took
his
mother
to
Mecca
to
perform
Umrah
in
2012
as
promised
and
was
captured
pushing
his
mother
on
a
wheelchair
and
showing
her
the
palace.
Aamir
Khan
and
his
mother’s
pictures
from
Mecca
had
gone
viral
back
then.

Ali
Fazal

After
completing
the
shoot
for
his
Holywood
project

Kandahar
in
Saudi
Arabia,
actor
Ali
Fazal
travelled
to
Mecca
and
Medina
to
perform
Umrah
and
take
some
time
off
for
a
spiritual
journey.
While
sharing
a
video
from
his
visit
to
the
pilgrimage
site,
Ali
wrote,
“I
am
truly
blessed
I
think
in
many
ways.
I
like
to
think
at
least.
This
one
was
for
Amma
and
Nana.
Their
loss
will
never
heal
me
..
maybe
healing
isn’t
the
answer.
Seeking
is.
We’ll
find
out.
But
I
prayed
and
I
prayed
for
all
those
around
me.”
