Amaal Mallik clarifies he did not speak against any religion as he shared girlfriend broke-up with him because he’s a Muslim: ‘It’s a secular mindset’ | Hindi Movie News
Amaal Mallik recently revealed that he was in a relationship with a girl for many years but they broke up because her family had an issue with his religion and his music career both. He had said, “I was in a relationship for around five years. she called me and told me she was getting married. She said, ‘If you come now, I’ll elope with you.’ But I told her, ‘If your parents can’t accept my religion and respect my career, then I wish you the best.’” He had further said in this interview with Siddharth Kannan, “People think I’m a Muslim, but my father (Daboo Malik) is a Muslim and my mother is a Saraswat Brahmin Hindu.” He revealed that his girlfriend was a Jaat and their break-up was a harsh time for him. He had also said, “There’s no ‘I’ of Islam in me. I don’t follow the religion to the T. I am the least religious guy. I believe in Karma. We neutrally respect every religion.“ However, Amaal has now clarified his stance as his statements are being misunderstood. He took to his social media and wrote, “For every one coming up with lovely articles & headlines about how I have spoken against a community you all are completely wrong 😒 I spoke about my choices as an individual born to a Muslim father & a Hindu mother. It’s a secular mindset that I go wherever I find peace, whether it’s a mosque a mandir or a church.” He added, “I don’t think some people understand that we are all Indians first before we wear any religious or spiritual badge…To all my fellow Indians that felt bad about certain comments I’m sorry for that, but I come from a simple understanding of life. Just remember – ‘Ramzan’ mein RAM and ‘Diwali’ mein ALI hai. So don’t let the news blindside you and overlook my actual conversation and sentiments.I am being subjected to a lot of mudslinging and by using my statements from a podcast, idiots on the internet want to create communal disharmony. Don’t fall for it 😇 Love to all ♥️
