Actor Feroze Khan gets flak for taking a selfie in front of the Khana Kaaba while performing umrah in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The holy month of Ramadan is more than just fasting for ‘sake of traditions’. It is a time of self-reflection, to grow spiritually and become closer to Allah. For TV networks, Ramadan is the opportunity to ‘cash-in’ on TV specials. Bizarre reality shows that feature celebrities sharing religious advice while making contestants plays ridiculous games to win “prizes”.
The celebrities who do not host these kinds of shows, try to promote themselves humbly, ditching the glitz and glam look for a more naik (pious) image for their fans. A popular trend among celebrities is taking selfies during an umrah trip to Mecca and Medina.
Recently, actor Feroze Khan took a break from his showbiz lifestyle to perform umrah. While people appreciate the Aye Musht-e-Khaak star for doing this, people are not happy with Feroze Khan taking a selfie in front of the Khana Kaaba.
“What do I ask of You, You understand yourself,” the actor wrote in the caption.
Here’s what people have to say about Feroze Khan’s selfie.
Feroze Khan has a knack for attracting controversies with his antics. Fans have mixed feelings when the actor talks about quitting the showbiz industry for Islamic reasons. But then again, he is back in front of the camera. Netizens often troll the actor, when he talks about his ‘special’ relationship with a sheikh who gives him guidance. Combine it with his aggressive characters in shows like Ishqiya, Khaani and Aye Musht-e-Khaak, Feroze has garnered the reputation of an “angry young man”.
