Actor Hamza Ali Abbasi’s recent remarks on marriage have once again brought him into the spotlight.
The Alif star stated that choosing not to marry is a major sin and compared it to hell, igniting a heated debate online.
Hamza Ali Abbasi remarked, “Shaadi ke ilawa karna gunah-e-kabira hai, jahannum hai” (Engaging in anything other than marriage is a major sin; it’s hell.)
His statement quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions on social media.
While some criticized his views as outdated and rigid, others supported his stance, emphasizing the importance of marriage. Despite the backlash, Hamza Ali Abbasi remains firm in his beliefs and continues to advocate for what he considers the right path.
Earlier, in an interview, Abbasi talked about the challenges he faced in love and relationships before meeting his wife Naimal Khawar.
The Legends of Maula Jatt actor revealed that he had never truly experienced love “in the right way” before finding his soulmate.
“In life, I had never experienced love in the right way and I was never able to truly love [someone]. I had many bad experiences and I believe the fault was mostly mine. I wasn’t mature enough. I still don’t think I’m mature enough to say I’ve grown up,” he said.
“I’ve broken hearts and my own heart was broken too. I feel ashamed for hurting people,” the actor said while reflecting on his past.
Abbasi also spoke about his journey of self-reflection and seeking forgiveness. “I’ve asked for forgiveness and I did what I could to make amends. I’ve hurt people, I’ve broken hearts, and I have done many wrong things,” he added.
After going through so many hardships Abbasi said, he turned to faith and made a sincere prayer.
“I prayed, ‘Oh Allah, I’ve never experienced true love, and I never thought of marriage.’ Then I chose a path and prayed for love or marriage. I didn’t know how to go about it but I trusted Allah, and I think my prayer was accepted. Allah took my hand and led me to love a person in a way that I had no control over. I couldn’t control myself and it was happening on autopilot.”
Naimal Khawar and Hamza Ali Abbasi tied the knot on August 25, 2019, in Islamabad.
Abbasi is starring in Faraar, a drama serial written by Mustafa Afridi and directed by Syed Wajahat Hussain and Musadiq Malik.
