AR Rahman’s EPIC reply to trolls slamming daughter Khatija for niqab

Recently, music maestro AR Rahman and the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ team celebrated 10 years of the album. At the event, Rahman’s daughter Khatija was also present and she delivered a heart touching speech. But the speech grabbed the headlines not because it was emotional, but she got trolled for wearing niqab (veil worn by Muslim women). To which her father A R Rahman has responded by giving an epic reply.

No doubt that Khajita received a lot of appreciations from the audience present at the event. But who can stop trolls. Many users called the singer a hypocrite for forcing his daughter to wear niqab. Before looking at AR Rahman’s reply, let’s have a look at a troll.

Proud of his music. Ashamed of his imposition of a medieval tyranny to his new age daughter. Saree and veil don’t go together, they stand for exactly opposition ideas. Saree celebrates womanhood. Burqa/ veil subdues it 10 feet under. https://t.co/PvZx89WQe2

A picture speaks a thousand words. In the picture, we see Rahman’s wife Sairaa and daughter Raheema are seen without the veil but Khatija is covering her face. That means she has chosen to cover her face with niqab and not her father has forced her to do so.

This is a perfect reply by AR Rahman. What do you think?

Even Khatija took to her Facebook account to speak on this. She wrote, “I’m a sane mature adult who knows to make my choices in life. Any human being has a choice to wear or do what he/she wants and that’s what I’ve been doing. Hence, kindly don’t make your own judgements without understanding the exact situation #freedomofchoice.”
