"Intentions Were Not To…": Singer Lucky Ali Apologises For Saying "Brahmans Are Lineage Of Ibrahim"
In a now-deleted post, singer Lucky Ali had said that "Brahmans are lineage of Ibrahim", which led to massive backlash on social media.
Lucky Ali who has given us hit songs like 'O Sanam’, ‘Ek Pal Ka Jeena’, and ‘Safarnama’, is in the middle of a huge controversy after he posted a message on Facebook, which many users found objectionable. In the now-deleted post, the singer had written that the term "Brahman" is derived from the word "Abram" and he had also said that "Brahmans are lineage of Ibrahim." In the now-deleted post, Lucky Ali had written: “The name ‘Brahman’ comes from ‘Brahma’ which comes from ‘Abram’ .. which comes from Abraham or Ibrahim.. The Brahmans are a lineage of Ibrahim. Alaihisalam… The Father of all Nations … so whys everyone just arguing and fighting without reasoning amongst themselves?”
As soon as his post went live on Facebook, several users targetted and trolled him. Now, the singer has apologised for the same, saying his "intentions were not to cause distress."
"Dear Everyone , I realise the controversy of my last post. My intentions were not to cause distress or anger amongst anyone and I deeply regret that. My intentions, instead, were to bring us all closer together… but I realise how it didn't come out in the way that I meant it," he wrote on Facebook.
"I will be more aware of what I am posting and of my phrasing as I see now that it has upset many of my Hindu brothers and sisters. For that I am deeply sorry. I Love you all," he wrote further.
For the unversed, Lucky Ali is the son of late Bollywood actor Mehmood.
Lucky Ali had debuted in Bollywood with the song 'Nasha Nasha' in the movie 'Dushman Duniya Ka'.
After this, he sung tracks like 'Ek Pal Ka Jeena' and 'Na Tum Jaano Na Hum', featured in Hrithik Roshan's debut film 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai'.
Over the years, he has lent his voice to films such as 'Sur', 'Bachna Ae Haseeno', 'Anjaana Anjaani' and 'Tamasha'.
