He follows both I think not oly Islam

Sure he will squirm his way out of this 😕

I'm guessing Punjabi is a religion in India now.

Coming back to this how can someone be half a religion. Its a belief so you only believe in half of it.

Why not just say you follow more than one religion instead of saying half and half.

Also Punjabi is not a religion.

Stars always plead innocence no matter what.

I wonder what excuse they will make for this one.

Bach jayega tu. Entire family of artists is with you.
