So it’s official. Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawer are getting married this weekend.
Hamza himself confirmed the news in a lengthy Facebook post. Now we’re wondering what was that all about.
The Jawani Phir Nahi Ani made it official in a very roundabout way. Rather than narrate an ode to his partner, some people are saying that Hamza has chosen to make it more about his relationship with God.
That’s okay, (because we like what we like). But some netizens can’t help but think that Hamza chose to mock other people who marry for love. Many regular folks didn’t like this aspect of his Facebook post.
Here’s what he said:
“Some people get married for themselves because either they fall in love or because their lonely or maybe because of family or to have kids, these are also good reasons, but believe me when your sole reason is to please Allah.”

Of course, netizens had a lot to say. Facebook mostly had mixed responses, all in good humor.
There were voices of dismay as well. The ire was not about the wedding, rather the ‘God awful post‘.
Some people were wondering why the long explanation?
Congratulations Hamza. However, you don't owe us explanation. You are getting married, good on you. We are happy that you're happy.

Twitter had more fun with the whole thing.
He wasn't explaining …he was trying to reform the society

Hmmm, so you weren't in love with her at first but now you two can't even breath without each other out of wedlock. TOTALLY HARAM BRO!

Count on Twitterati to call out ‘I did it for God‘
Itna Allah se pyar hai tu why didn’t you propose to a widow, divorced or an orphaned woman?!

The one platonic friend you randomly think of proposing to also turns out to be the hottest girl you know. Allah works in mysterious ways.

Then came the loony conspiracy theories.
His post SCREAMS that hes GAY. tried to be straight many times and failed and gave in to desires that made god angry and he could never imagine a relationship with the opposite sex and has told his wife upfront that he doesnt love her only wants to marry to settle his conscience

How did we forget Jeena in all this!? Well for those who are unaware, Ayesha Khan’s character in Man Mayaal is an internet meme as well. She certainly deserves a mention in this saga:
Ab jeena ka kiya ho ga .. us kai tau maa baap bhi nahin hain..

Meanwhile, Hamza Ali Abbasi fans are handling any disagreement with ‘you’re just jealous‘. This sounds like high school all over again.
