Azaan Sami Khan has come forward to clarify an earlier statement he made. The actor and singer referred to a previous interview he did where he was quoted to say that he wouldn’t want his future wife to be on social media for religious reasons. Posting an Instagram story on Monday that links the original interview, he asked people to fact check before quoting him.
“I’ve found a certain statement I made in an interview to have been highly misconstructed and posted on several platforms,” he wrote. “Would respect all publications and portals to please fact check what was actually said before mis-interpreting. Lots of love to all always.”
In the original interview with Something Haute released last month, Azaan said that he has certain religious beliefs according to which some relationships are pure. He thinks we should only reveal them when they have been made pure. “As a Muslim, a nikkah is a very secret thing,” he said. “And I think that protects the respect of the girl as well.”
According to the actor, you cannot jump from dating to suddenly showing your married halal life. He thinks we should only talk about our personal relationships when it's in that realm of sanctity.
“Why would I harm someone’s dignity for something not very long term?” he asked. “I would personally like to be known for my work only.” Azaan said that when the time is right, he will happily own the person he is with, but until then he would not like to brag about it.
