Renowned actor Hamza Ali Abbasi stirred a buzz on social media after a video of him officiating a nikah ceremony at a wedding went viral.
In the clip, the Jaan-e-Jahan star is seen solemnly conducting the nikah, reciting the necessary verses, and announcing the Haq Meher amount on behalf of the groom with utmost seriousness.
While the couple appeared overjoyed, social media users had varied reactions to the unexpected sight of the Pyare Afzal actor in this role.
Some found it amusing, with one user humorously commenting:
“Itna handsome Maulvi, Mera Bhai Nikah Parha do” (Such a handsome religious figure—please solemnize my Nikah as well!).
Others appreciated Hamza’s initiative, viewing it as a positive example of incorporating religious duties into daily life. One fan wrote, “This is a great way to normalize performing religious obligations ourselves.”
However, not everyone was in favor. Critics argued that officiating a nikah is a sacred responsibility requiring proper knowledge and training. A user remarked, “Actors should stick to their profession; religious duties should be performed by those properly trained for them.”
Hamza Ali Abbasi, known for his acting, religious views, and strong social media presence, continues to make headlines with his unexpected endeavors.
