Winking is un-Islamic: Hyderabad-based men move SC against Priya Prakash Varrier’s wink video
Actress Priya Prakash Varrier who shot to fame with a song from upcoming Malayalam movie, Oru Adaar Love is still facing legal trouble.
Actress Priya Prakash Varrier who shot to fame with a song from upcoming Malayalam movie, Oru Adaar Love is still facing legal trouble.
A fresh application has been filed in the Supreme Court by two Hyderabad-based men raising an objection to the wink scene.
Stating that the act of winking is forbidden in Islam, the application refers to the verses mentioned in the Holy Quran Sharid.
Previously, Prakash Varrier had filed a petition seeking the quashing of all the criminal charges levelled against her in connection with the same wink video and all the pending FIRs against the song and the Malayalam movie was stayed by the Supreme Court.
One of the complainants who filed the case now had earlier filed a complaint against the song in Hyderabad while the other petitioner claims to be a person who is ‘engaged in preserving the rich Muslim culture and values’.
As per the application, “When the video is superimposed with the sacred lyrics of the song can very well be categorised as an act of blasphemy”. The application read, “The 30-second clip shows a young schoolgirl and a schoolboy exchanging smiles, eyebrows wiggles and winks from across the way. It has completely captivated audiences but with a wrinkle on the face of religious Muslims”.
