If you’re an actor who’s ever gotten married to a co-star in a film or drama, it may be time to update your relationship status because guess what — according to a religious scholar on SAMAA TV, you’re actually married!
That’s right! A resurfaced snippet from SAMAA TV’s Sehri transmission from last year has suddenly gone viral for a bold claim made by a religious scholar. Upon being asked about whether the act of getting married or divorced on television holds any value, the scholar declared that by simply performing a fake nikkah scene onscreen, actors can get married in real life.
While we all can agree on the latter, several people online have taken issue with first part of this comment, especially since the entire process of nikkah is rarely if ever performed in dramas or films. Moreover, how a nikkah can actually be officiated without using the actors’ real names was not elaborated upon by the scholar.
