Saif Calls Sonu Nigam's Azaan Tweet 'Aggressive', Says Religion Should Be A Private Affair

Bollywood's royal nawab Saif Ali Khan usually stays away from all the controversies, film fraternity indulges into. This time too when Sonu Nigam was attacked after he spoke on azaan?being played loudly on speakers, the industry took sides but Saif stayed mum.

But now speaking with a leading daily, the actor has shared his view point.

He said, "Don’t know who you are offending. At one level, I agree, the lesser sound the better. There should be certain decibel levels allowed across religious practices. I also understand the amplification of the sound during azaan comes from insecurity."

“It’s fine to express your views on the decibel levels. I think that tweet was a bit aggressive though, initially. And I do think religion should be a private affair and we should be a secular country,” he added.
