Saif Ali Khan's take on Sonu Nigam's Azaan rant controversy makes a lot of sense!

After Sonu Nigam said in a series of tweets,"God bless everyone. I’m not a Muslim and I have to be woken up by the Azaan in the morning. When will this forced religiousness end in India. And by the way Mohammed did not have electricity when he made Islam.. Why do I have to have this cacophony after Edison? I don’t believe in any temple or gurudwara using electricity To wake up people who don’t follow the religion . Why then..? Honest? True?”, there was yet another wave of religious controversy.

While most of the stars avoided saying anything on the Azaan front, Saif Ali Khan chose to be vocal about it. Sonu Nigam used a poor choice of words which made a lot of people angry. When Saif was questioned about it, he agreed with Sonu. 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”, while talking to Indian Express.

The actor was further quoted as saying,“I also understand the amplification of the sound during Azaan comes from insecurity. Not just here but also in Israel apparently where three different religions co-exist. It’s been written about so I believe it’s the same. As a minority, you would like to make your presence felt and hopefully accepted. If someone says that it should be extinguished, it will make some people little uncomfortable. As a precursor to some sort of holocaust, it’s the first thing you think of. There’s a bit of fear there.” 

Some people might not like this statement and troll the actor for the same but the next set of words which he uttered saved him.  “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 said.
