A while back, we saw a picture of Saba Qamar and Bilal Saeed making rounds on the internet. Both were holding hands inside a mosque. People were speculating whether they got nikkahfied. But no, it was a still from their new music video titled ‘Qabool Hai.’
As soon as people got to know that the duo shot a music video inside a mosque, they started to bash them heavily
They reasoned that a mosque is a holy place, so no one should be allowed to dance or play music.
People even demanded the government take serious action against them
The Masjid authorities were also ridiculed for permitting such an offense in the premises
A document was being shared on social media that permitted the crew to shoot the video
The bashing became so intense that Saba Qamar and Bilal Saeed became top trends in Pakistan
Saba Qamar took to her Instagram to respond to all the criticism regarding her new music video
She posted a teaser of her upcoming video while explaining what actually went down.
Saba explained that the nikkah sequence did not feature any sort of music and neither was it edited with any music
Even in the teaser, we can see that the music starts afterward. Saba also went on to explain that the BTS twirl video that’s circulating on the internet was just an attempt to capture the perfect shot for the poster of the video. So, this explains the fact that there was no music or even dancing involved.
Saba further goes on that being a decent human being, she has never wanted to disrespect a holy place or offend anyone’s religious sentiments. She is still ready to apologize if she has hurt anyone unintentionally.
Saba also said that we have to wait around for the entire video to come before we jump to any conclusions.
Bilal Saeed also posted the same teaser on his Instagram and explained it in detail for the people offended
He also said that the Nikkah sequence was the introductory part, shot without any playback music. The administration of Masjid Wazir Khan was also present and they are a witness that nothing offensive happened there.
Bilal further says that being Muslims, they cannot even think to disrespect a holy place.
Furthermore, the Government of Punjab has already ordered DG Auqaf to conduct an inquiry on the matter
What are your thoughts on this entire controversy? Do you think that Saba Qamar and Bilal Saeed are right? Let us know in the comments!
