Congress leader and documentary film-maker Yasmin Kidwai Monday shared a video clip in which superstar Shah Rukh Khan is speaking on the idea of India comparing the country's diverse culture to a beautiful painting where all the colours coexist in harmony.

In the 29-second clip, a part of Kidwai's documentary 'Filmisthaan-The Euphoric state of Bollywood on India & our intrinsic pluralistic culture', Khan says, "Being diverse is a good thing, being divisive is not. Like art has no religion, I think our country has no religion, and all of them amalgamated together."
The video was also shared by the official handle of the Congress Party, which tweeted, "@iamsrk echoes what the Congress Party has been saying for many years now. India is one nation, made glorious by its diversity."
