I'm a consenting adult woman: Naimal Khawar Khan breaks silence over criticism

Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi tied the knot over the weekend in an intimate wedding

Naimal Khawar Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi tied the knot in an intimate ceremony last Sunday.

Abbasi confirmed getting hitched to the Verna star in what many felt was a 'bizarre' way. The statement, in which he said he was getting married to his 'platonic' friend for the Almighty was followed by much criticism on social media. The Waar actor then released a second statement to clarify what he had meant in the first one as well.

However, Khawar had kept mum on the matter - until now. The starlet has finally spoken up on the hullabaloo surround her husband's comments on Twitter.

"Thank you so much, everyone, for the wonderful wishes and prayers for me and Hamza as we embark on this new journey in our lives," the Anaa beauty wrote. "Now that the wedding is over, I would like to address a few things."

She went on to write, "First, I am a consenting adult woman capable of making my own decisions and this narrative of 'saving me' is nothing short of demeaning my right to choose for myself."

"Second, while I understand that public figures are always subject to criticism even when it's their personal life choices, please don't distort facts," Khawar added.

Second, while I understand that public figures are always subject to criticism even when it's their personal life choices, please dont distort facts. I left acting 9 months ago and the decision was entirely mine. Dont spread false news to sensationalize someone's special day
