Pakistani actor Danish Taimoor recently found himself at the center of controversy after making remarks about polygamy during a live segment of his Ramadan special show Mehfil-e-Ramadan. In his statement, Taimoor said, “Mujhe ijazat hai chaar shaadiyon ki… Main kar nahi raha, vo alag baat hai. No one can take it away from me.” (I am allowed to marry four times… I am not doing it, that’s a different matter. No one can take that right away from me.) The comment, made in front of his wife, Ayeza Khan, quickly went viral, sparking a massive backlash on social media.
Danish Taimoor Reacts to the Trolls
Following the online outrage, Danish Taimoor addressed the situation, offering an explanation for his words. In a statement, he revealed that he and his wife found the entire controversy amusing. “Main aur Ayeza hum comments padh kar hass rahe the.” (Ayeza and I were reading the comments and laughing.)
He further clarified that his words had been misinterpreted. Taimoor explained, “Jaisa ki maine kaha tha ki mujhe 4 shaadiyon ki ijaazat hai, lekin main kar nahi raha kyunki filhaal mujhe pyaar hai apni biwi se. Aur main aaj bhi ispar qayam hoon.” (As I had said, I am allowed to marry four times, but I am not doing it because right now, I love my wife. And I still stand by it.)
Clarification on His Statement
Taimoor elaborated further, emphasizing that he was simply stating a fact, not promoting polygamy. He said, “Maine kaha tha filhaal, kyunki mujhe nahi pata ki main yahaan se nikal kar zinda rahunga ya nahi. Main ek second ke baad mar gaya toh? Yeh jo lafz hai na ‘hamesha’, hamesha koi nahi reh sakta.” (I had said ‘for now’ because I don’t know if I will step out of here and still be alive or not. What if I die in the next second? The word ‘forever’—nothing lasts forever.)
Despite his clarification, the online backlash continued, with many users arguing that his comments seemed to normalize polygamy. Others felt he was trying to justify his statement after facing significant criticism.
Danish Defends His Perspective
Taimoor continued to defend his point of view, addressing how people reacted to his words. He stated, “Gossip karna galat baat hai. Kaise logon ko judge kar sakte hain? Aapke dil ki baat, aap ya Allah jaanta hai.” (Gossiping is wrong. How can people judge others? Only you and Allah know what’s in your heart.)
He also pointed out how people focused on the word “for now” in his statement. “Logon ne mere ek shabd ‘filhaal’ ko pakda. Main toh kahunga ki har kisi ko aaj se yeh shabd istemaal karna chahiye.” (People just focused on the word ‘for now.’ I would say everyone should start using this word from today.)
The Public’s Reaction
Despite his attempts to explain himself, many people remained unconvinced. Some continued to criticize his views, arguing that he should have apologized rather than trying to justify his comments. One user wrote, “Eik shadi shuda aurat keh rahi Aiza deserves better, sthu. Bro clearly said he loves n respects his wife. Eik achi kasi khush family ko shaitan torne ka idea de reh, disgusting creatures.” (A married woman is saying Ayeza deserves better, shut up. He clearly said he loves and respects his wife. Why are people trying to ruin a happy family?
