“The meaning of Qurbani is to sacrifice something which is close to you instead of any goat or sheep which you just buy to sacrifice. Before sacrificing, we should share a bond with that thing otherwise just killing of an animal will not serve the purpose. Nowadays, we have lost the relevance behind such religious activities and perform these rituals without knowing the meaning behind them,” said the ‘Jazbaa’ actor.

Commenting on Muharram, the actor said that Muslims have turned Muharram to a joke because the people celebrate it like a festival instead of mourning.

The enraged clerics later advised the Muslim actor to “concentrate on his film career” and refrain from “making random statements about our religion”.
