Aamir
Khan today appeared to
be very rational when quizzed on Irrfan Khan’s recent Islam remark and said
religion is a personal issue with each individual having personal thought and
belief about it.
“I feel
religion is a personal issue. Each one has personal thought and belief about
it. I have nothing to say on that. I have my own and follow that,” said the
51-year-old actor at ‘Dangal’s poster launch event here.
Irrfan had
earlier during promotion of his movie ‘Madari’ at Jaipur questioned the
practice of sacrifice and fasting in Islam, saying the whole idea of ‘Qurbani
and sacrifice’ has been defeated in today’s time.
“The
meaning of Qurbani is to sacrifice something which is close to you instead of
any goat or sheep which you just buy to sacrifice. Before sacrificing, we
should share a bond with that thing otherwise just killing of an animal will
not serve the purpose. Nowadays, we have lost the relevance behind such
religious activities and perform these rituals without knowing the meaning
behind them,” said the ‘Jazbaa’ actor.
Commenting on
Muharram, the actor said that Muslims have turned Muharram to a joke because
the people celebrate it like a festival instead of mourning.
The enraged clerics
later advised the Muslim actor to “concentrate on his film career” and refrain
from “making random statements about our religion”.
