Social media has erupted over Danish Taimoor’s statements on polygamy, raising questions about his views on marriage and relationships. Danish appeared with former news anchor Rabia Anam on a TV Ramazan program, sparking the uproar. Taimoor addressed men’s right to marry four times while sharing personal experiences and advising the audience, drawing criticism.
He joked, “The permission to men for four marriages has been granted, but I am not doing it yet, that’s a different story.” “I won’t do it because I love and respect my wife, even though I have the right,” he said.
Even though he had previously stated his contentment with his marriage to Ayeza Khan and that he has no ambitions for remarriage, his words, especially his usage of the phrase ‘filhaal’ (as of now), stunned viewers.
People thought the remarks were needless and disrespectful, especially because they were uttered in front of his wife.
After openly discussing the matter and referencing his right to marry four times, several social media users criticized him for demonstrating entitlement rather than responsibility.
One said, “Men always remember their right to marry four times, but they conveniently forget the conditions.”
The tone and casualness of his comments about polygamy sparked a rapid online backlash. It was regarded inappropriate, especially against Pakistan’s most admired public personality, Ayeza Khan.
Fans now view the loving duo differently after this casual comment. Their once-strong image has been marred by netizens’ perception of Danish’s arrogance and neglect of ‘filhaal’.
Taimoor’s words was too much for former model, host, and award-winning show director Frieha Altaf. “Total disrespect to a wonderful talented wife,” she wrote on Instagram. Insulting, self-centered, and misogynist/polygamist.”
The internet called him a red flag, and many said he’s only popular because of her.
After this viral video, Hamza Ali Abbasi’s polygamy speech emerged online. Abbasi answered the question in Islam with more thinking and respect.
His respectful tone and explanation of Islam’s polygamy laws contrasted with Taimoor’s. One netizen on X (previously Twitter) wrote, “In a world full of Danish Taimoors, be a Hamza Ali Abbasi.”
One of Pakistan’s most beloved celebrity couples, Danish Taimoor and Ayeza Khan, are at the center of a discussion about how celebrities should handle sensitive matters in public.
The unguarded statements of Taimoor have started a discourse about prominent personalities’ need to be more sensitive when addressing such topics, especially before a national audience.
Why must we discuss these topics live on TV in Ramadan?
Despite Danish Taimoor’s silence, the argument continues online, revealing how easily a single comment may change public opinion.
