Kiran Bala, who married Pakistani man, begins her spiritual journey with Ramazan

Azam says his wife passionately prepares Sehri and Iftar meals for herself and his family

LAHORE: Kiran Bala, the Sikh woman who embraced Islam and married a Lahore man, has now started fasting in the ongoing month of Ramazan.

According to Kiran's husband Muhammad Azam, Aamna, the name she chose after converting to Islam, is also learning to read the Quran. The former Sikh adherent said it is for the first time that she's fasting and it's giving her a spiritual relief.

Talking to Express News over the phone, Azam said his wife has been fasting in Ramazan. He added that Amna prepares sehri and iftari for herself and his family members passionately.



Azam further said that he is currently in Saudi Arabia but is constantly in contact with his wife through the social media.

On April 23, Home Ministry extended Amna's visa until October. “I am hopeful of getting the Pakistani nationality too,” a cheerful Amna said after an extension in her visa. According to the current Pak-India laws, both the countries grant nationality after seven years.

Kiran Bala arrived in Lahore from Delhi in April on a valid visa to attend religious rituals at Gurdwara Punja Sahib. Here, she tied the knot with Muhammad Azam who she had befriended on Facebook.
