Sonu Nigam’s Azaan controversy doesn’t seem to get old. After the singer’s controversial tweet condemning the Muslim call for prayer, Azaan, he invited a lot of flak from the masses. Well, that resulted in him shaving off his head in protest and the rest is history. While all this was happening, notorious troll and self-appointed social commentator Kamaal R Khan, popularly known as KRK, came out in his support and even said, “Why are we Muslims so intolerant that we are only criticising @sonunigam, while he asked all the religions to not use loudspeakers? Now some C grade idiot producers are trying to threaten @sonunigam for boycott. If I will make any film, then Sonu will sing all the songs.”
Then, in a shocking turn of events, A Bollywood producer Mehmood Ali said that Sonu apparently had requested KRK to tweet in his support and so he did. He said he even had a proof of their conversation. Sonu Nigam took to Twitter to claim that this is NOT true and that they don’t know each other personally. He wrote, “Swear on my Departed Mother, I didn’t. We don’t know each other personally at all.” KRK too wrote, “If someone says that he is my friend, then at least you should ask me, whether I know him? He is 100% correct. We don’t know each other personally at all.”
Azaan controversy led to a lot of Bollywood celebs reacting on the controversy, including Saif Ali Khan who made rather SHOCKING statements. He said, “on’t know who you are offending. At one level I agree, the lesser sound the better, there should be certain decibel levels allowed across religious practices. I also understand the amplification of the sound during azaan comes from insecurity. Not just here but also in Israel apparently where three different religions co-exist. It’s been written about so I believe it’s the same. As a minority, you would like to make your presence felt and hopefully accepted. If someone says that it should be extinguished, it will make some people little uncomfortable. As a precursor to some sort of holocaust, it’s the first thing you think of. There’s a bit of fear there. It’s fine to express your views on the decibel levels. I think that tweet was a bit aggressive though, initially. And I do think religion should be a private affair and we should be a secular country.”
