Danish Taimoor and Ayeza Khan, the beloved pair of Pakistani drama lovers, have gotten themselves into a hot issue after a recent TV appearance that made viewers feel awkward. The controversy began when Danish made an insensitive comment about polygamy, which many viewers considered unacceptable, particularly in light of his ten-year marriage to Ayeza.

During a show, Danish's casually said, "Mujhe Allah ne ijazat di hai 4 shadioun ki, main kar nahi raha hun woh alag baat hai, lekin yeh ijazat mujhe Allah ne di hui hai, woh mujhse koi cheen nahi sakta hai" (Allah has given me permission to marry four times, it is another thing I am not marrying but Allah has given me the permission that nobody can snatch it from me). 

He also mentioned, "Filhal jo hai inhi ke saath guzaar raha hun" (as of now, I wish to spend my life with her), in an attempt to clarify his intentions.

"...Allah has given me the right to marry 4 women—be grateful I’m sparing you..."
