Pakistani actor Danish Taimoor recently faced backlash for his controversial statement on polygamy in front of his wife, Ayeza Khan, where he claimed that he is allowed to marry four times, adding that no one can take this right away from him as he has permission from Allah. Now, finally Danish broke his silence and finally responded to the criticism.
While speaking to the host on his popular Pakistani show Mehfil-e-Ramazan, Danish shared that he and Ayeza were laughing while reading the comments after his controversial remark. He added, "Jaisa ki maine kaha tha ki mujhe 4 shaadiyon ki ijaazat hai, lekin main kar nahi raha kyunki filhaal mujhe pyaar hai apni biwi se. Aur main aaj bhi ispar qayam hoon."

Further, the actor explained that he used the word 'filhaal' because he is unaware if he will even be alive the next moment once he steps out. "Yeh jo lafz hai na 'hamesha, hamesha koi nahi reh sakta," he added.
When accused of promoting poygamy, Danish added, "Gossip karna galat baat hai. Kaise logon ko judge kar sakte hain? Aapke dil ki baat, aap ya Allah jaanta hai."
It all started when Danish said, "Mujhe ijazat hai chaar shaadiyon ki, main kar nahi raha hun, voh alag baat hai. Lekin yeh ijazat mujhe Allah ne di hai, jo koi mujhse cheen nahi sakta. Lekin voh mera pyaar hai, respect hai Ayeza ke liye ki main filhaal zindagi inhi ke saath guzarna chahta hun."
Danish tied the knot to Ayeza Khan in 2014. Before getting married, the couple dated for six years.
The duo have two children: a son, Rayan Taimoor, and a daughter, Hoorain Taimoor.
Danish is known for shows like Jaan Nisar, Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi, Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hai, and others.
