Looks like Abhi and Bindu aka Ayushmann Khurrana and Parineeti Chopra have the most sorted reply for Sonu Nigam's Azaan row. When the actors were asked about the same, during the launch event of the song Ye Jawaani Teri, from their upcoming film Meri Pyaari Bindu, Pari said, "I really feel everyone in the world has their own opinion and wisdom on how they want to share it- may it be behind closed doors or in public. I don't have any opinion. I am happy in my life."
Continuing to this, Ayushmann added, "I think that's the beauty of our nation! We are in a democracy where you can express your views openly. People might tag you negative or positive, but that can't stop you. But of course I think being in public eye, it depends on you how you want to use that tool."
For the unversed, Sonu, who was woken up to the sound of Azaan early in the morning, took social media by storm after terming the practice as 'forced religiousness', on April 17. His controversial tweets evoked a mixed response on the Internet and among every section of people in the nation.
However, after being trolled mercilessly for his Twitter rant, the Kal Ho Na Ho singer spoke about the issue, saying, "When I am talking about Loudspeakers, I did mention Temples and Gurudwaras too."
When I am talking about Loudspeakers, I did mention Temples and Gurudwaras too. Is it that hard to comprehend? Loosen up guys.
