Bollywood's talented actor Irrfan Khan got himself caught in religious controversy post his comments on the 'Ramzan Traditions' - fasting and sacrifice of goat during EID.
According to report in a leading daily, the actor expressed his views saying that people should self-introspect rather than fasting. He disliked the idea of slaughtering animals in the name of qurbaani. He explained that 'Qurbaani' means to sacrifice something that is close to you and not the sheep or a goat.
People nowadays don't understand the real message behind these religious activities and perform them without knowing anything, he added further.
Talking about Muharram, the 'Piku' actor stated Muslims have made contempt of Muharram they celebrate it as if it's a festival but in reality it is meant for mourning!
The actor who is gearing up for his upcoming release 'Madaari' slammed Muslim leaders for not putting light on issues such as terrorism and asked common people to question their leaders about the same.
All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB)'s member Zafaryab Gilabi, rebuked the actor and said that Irrfan's advice is not needed, he is not a religious leader!
Maulana Khatri, secretary of Jamaat-e-Ulema-e-Hind also commented that Irrfan Khan must concentrate on his career and should not make random statements. (sic)
