#2 Himesh, you dork. Unless you are muslim or committing an act of terrorism against "infidels", you can't enter a mosque.

#3 Looks like the keepers of the Shrine are fans.
He gets a pass.

People noticed a person masquerading as a veiled woman on Tuesday night near the Nizam gate at the dargah. A large crowd gathered when they found out it was Himesh Reshammiya. Khadim Qutabuddin advised him to wear a burqa and Himesh did so, but he was unable to conceal his identity.
Himesh spent over 10 minutes at the shrine and offered prayers. It is said that he visited the shrine to pray for the success of his forthcoming film Aapka Suroor. He came to the dargah in an autorickshaw to avoid his fans. A section of the khadims objected and said it was wrong for a male to wear a burqa.

But the Anjuman dismissed the objections, saying the actor had come there with a pure heart. Khwaja akidatmand ki niyat dekhten hain (The Khwaja looks at the devotees motive), said Sarwar Chishti.

Last year actress Katrina Kaif created a controversy when she was photographed visiting the shrine dressed in a knee-length skirt.
