Gauahar Khan has recently voiced her concerns about Rakhi Sawant's actions, which she perceives as disrespectful towards the sacred pilgrimage of Umrah. Rakhi Sawant, amidst her highly publicized feud with ex-husband Adil Khan Durrani, embarked on a pilgrimage to Mecca, completing her first Umrah, and sharing emotional moments through viral pictures and videos. Gauahar Khan indirectly criticized Rakhi for her behavior in this context.

In response to Rakhi's viral videos and photos during her Umrah trip, Gauahar Khan took to her Instagram to share her thoughts. She posted an emotional yet stern message, hinting indirectly at Rakhi's actions. Gauahar expressed her disappointment, stating, "I'm deeply concerned about individuals who seem to take Islam lightly and use this sacred pilgrimage as a means to gain attention. It's disheartening to witness someone turning such a holy journey into a spectacle. One moment they claim to embrace Islam, and the next, they say it wasn't their choice. Such behavior is unacceptable."

Gauahar Khan further expressed her wish for stricter measures against such acts, saying, "I hope that the authorities in India and Saudi Arabia take strict action against those who exploit something as sacred as this for publicity stunts. These shameless acts should not go unchecked."

She also commented on Rakhi's transformation after her Umrah, emphasizing that wearing traditional attire like abayas does not define one as a true follower of Islam. Gauahar added, "It's important to understand that being a Muslim is not just about appearances. It's about faith in your heart, a deep understanding of the 5 pillars of Islam, being a compassionate and genuine human being, and above all, a profound love for Allah. True faith resides within, and it doesn't require a parade of cameras to showcase it. #micdrop."

The ongoing controversy between Rakhi Sawant and Adil Khan Durrani started when they crossed paths in Mumbai and became romantically involved. Rakhi initially publicly announced their marriage in January with pictures from a private ceremony, but later filed an FIR against Adil. Adil, after a six-month stint in Mysuru jail, recently held a press conference to present his perspective, keeping their feud in the spotlight with daily controversies and media attention.
