While some criticsed the public proposal, Hamza Ali Abbasi - surprisingly - was all for it. But in doing so, he seems to have rubbed actor Veena Malik who is calling him out for "defending kissing before nikkah."
Veena took to Twitter on Tuesday to share her two cents on the matter. "I am working in the Pakistani entertainment industry after long break of almost nine years. I met Hamza Ali Abbasi sahab on the Pakistan Star sets and we became acquaintances," she began. "What I know about him so far is that he is someone who is upright, highly principled, virtuous and impressive for being that way in his acting, hosting, judging, etc."

She continued, "Also, just recently saw a video of yours on God which made me realise that you are insightful, cultured and enlightened. But then these tweets came up."

The former Bigg Boss contestant called out Hamza for his opinions regarding Iqra and Yasir's PDA. "Nowhere in our religion and Quran it is written that you can hug and kiss before nikkah. I think we shouldn't use religion to support PDA. Two wrongs don't make a right," Veena explained. "Of course, congratulations to the couple. I'm so happy that they'll get married and prefer halal over haram but how the proposal ended wasn't appropriate as the act was utterly uncultured."
(6/4)but how the proposal ended wasn't appropriate as the act was utterly uncultured.We live in a Muslim country r Religion & culture both doesn't allow that & such acts r looked down upon.U rightly said that this era isnt like the previous1 now u have to show alot of more

Veena then added, "We live in a Muslim country. Our religion and culture both don't allow it; such acts are looked down upon. You rightly said that this era isn't like the previous one. Now, you have to show a lot of more responsibility and moral ethics towards society."
(6/5)responsibility & moral ethics towards society.This PDA doesn't represent r moral & cultural values,let alone religious.Every Media personality have a responsibility towards society, people follow them. So,they r not supposed to set wrong examples 4 the masses. #hamza

The Super Model star believes that, "this PDA doesn't represent our moral and cultural values, let alone religious." She said, "Every media personality has a responsibility towards society as people follow them. They are not supposed to set wrong examples for the masses."
(6/6) U are talking about Haram and Halal & yet defending the kisses before Nikkah?If someone is following islam and doing Nikah then why doing Haram before Nikah? Even for some Halal acts you can't go public so they should have been a little careful!!

Veena added, "You are talking about haram and halal and yet, defending kisses before nikkah? If someone is following Islam and doing nikkah, then why do haram before it? Even for some halal acts, you can't go public so they should have been a little careful!"
