Veteran Bollywood singer, Sonu Nigam made headlines this week when he expressed his displeasure on being ‘forced’ to wake up because of the Azaan every morning.

While Sonu tried to clarify his stance on the controversy by calling a press conference and even getting his head shaved, his rant was taken in bad taste.

Man on a mission: Muslim man recites azaan in all US states to deliver message of peace

Soon after Sonu's statements, actor-turned-producer Pooja Bhatt took to Twitter to school Sonu in a very subtle fashion.

Now, we recently came across a throwback video of Salman Khan at the premiere of his reality show Bigg Boss season 8, where he stopped the ongoing conference in respect of Azaan which had just started.

In a video shared by Indian publication, Bollywood Now, the Sultan actor can be seen asking the fellow speaker to hush for the call for Namaaz.

Watch the video here:



That's how divided public figures can be at times.

Farah Hassan | 7 years ago | Reply Allah has created all to love.There should be no place for hatred anywhere in the world;as far as religions are concerned,even in Islam there is nothing like disrespecting any belief.Islam is the religion of love and just believe in love not compulsion,so there is no concept of forcement by calling for prayer in Islam.As far as loudspeakers are concerned that could also be mentioned or discussed again respectfully.Please be respectful for all religions.
