Actress says azaan at 5 am ‘not civilized’; Juhi hits back

July 24, 2017

Lucknow, Jul 24: A day after singer-actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi labelled azaan on loudspeakers as ‘not civilised’, the Samajwadi Party mocked the former saying her sleep is more important than the call to prayers.Suchitra

“Such irresponsible comments have been made in the past also. I am unable to understand what kind of people they are. I would like to know how does azaan, which otherwise purifies you on hearing, bother her. May be her sleep is more important,” SP leader Juhi Singh told ANI, on Monday.

Krishnamoorthy, on July 23, tweeted complaining about the sound of azaan after reaching home early in the morning.

“came home at 4.45 am 2 most aggressive/ ear shattering call of azaan. Nothing more lowlife & dumb than such extreme imposed religiousity,” (sic) she tweeted.

However, the singer had to face the wrath of Twitterati, who started commenting on her post.

To one such tweet, Krishnamoorthi said waking up the entire neighbourhood at five in morning is uncivilised.

“i wake up at Brahmamuhurt of my own accord & do my prayers & riyaz.& yoga. I dont need public loudspeakers to remind me of my God or my duty,” (sic) she said.

“nobody objects to azaan or prayers during decent hours. But to be waking up entire neighbourhood at 5 am is not civilized,” (sic) she added.

However, this is not the first time that an opinion like this has surfaced.

Earlier in April, singer Sonu Nigam had tweeted a similar opinion, dubbing use of loudspeakers for broadcasting sermons and calls to prayers as hooliganism.

“God bless everyone. I’m not a Muslim and I have to be woken up by the Azaan in the morning. When will this forced religiousness end in India,” Sonu had tweeted.

“Gundagardi hai bus (it is hooliganism),” he added.

However, Sonu Nigam later apologised for the same, but clarified that his intention behind the tweets was to raise a social issue, and not a religious one.

Suggest to give trishul and leave him in a open ground. Let them independently decide who is more patriot than another.
No other solution than this.

People from Karnataka surroundings fed up with theses TWO chaddi bhakths . Seems before regular break fast they start their daily life with thousand lie and crime.

New Delhi, Jun 6: Actor Ayushmann Khurrana took the internet by storm as he posted a picture of himself in the dark 'Joker' avatar on Saturday.

Artist Swapnil Pawar transformed Khurrana into the 'Joker' through his artwork which the actor posted on his Instagram.

"Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it ... I'm an Agent of Chaos!" Khurrana quoted a famous dialogue from the film 'Joker' in the caption.

The 35-year-old actor, who hasn't played an outright negative role in his career further revealed his fascination for negative characters in the caption.

"Sinister, menacing, evil, cold, conniving yet brilliant, genius - have always thought of playing a negative character like Joker. Thank you @swapnilmpawar for reading my mind and this incredible artwork!" he wrote.

Khurrana believes that though it is good to portray different roles and he would love to play a negative character but the message at the end should be positive.

"I will be happy to play a negative character. I would love to play a morally corrupt person. That will be out of my realm. But the message, at the end of the day, should be positive. I don't want to endorse wrongdoings on screen," he said.

The new look of the 'Article 15' actor won hearts as the post was flooded with scores of comments from his fans.
