Well-known Islamic scholar Mufti Tariq Masood shared that actress Humaima Malik has expressed genuine remorse over a controversial line she delivered in the 2011 film Bol. He mentioned that not only did she feel regret, but she also turned to Allah in repentance after watching one of his video commentaries where he critiqued that particular dialogue.
The Controversial Scene
The dialogue in question was:
“Jab khila nahi sakte to paida kyun karte ho?”
This line was spoken by Humaima’s character to her on-screen father, who was portrayed as a struggling man unable to provide for his family. The scene suggested rebellion from the daughter towards a poor, authoritarian father figure.
Mufti Tariq Masood’s Initial Criticism
Years ago, Mufti Tariq Masood raised some important concerns about how certain scenes can impact society. He pointed out that lines like these might lead children to show disrespect or challenge their parents, especially when they’re influenced by emotionally charged media.
Humaima’s Apology
According to the scholar, Humaima Malik reached out to him personally via Mufti Tariq Jameel to express her heartfelt regret. She had seen his critique and felt a strong urge to repent. Mufti Tariq confirmed her genuine feelings, stating, “She told me she truly repented to Allah after hearing my comments.” He also emphasized that he was sharing this information with her consent.
Scholar Appreciates Her Repentance
Mufti Tariq Masood commended Humaima for owning up to her actions. He pointed out how unusual it is for public figures to acknowledge their mistakes, particularly in such a delicate situation.
Allegations Against NGOs
The scholar, quoting Malik, suggested that some NGOs may have played a role in supporting or influencing the creation of films like these to push certain ideological messages in society. Although he didn’t specify any organisations, his comments sparked further discussion about the motives behind films such as Bol.
Mufti’s Take on the Scene’s Impact
The scholar felt a sense of relief that Humaima was aware of the potential negative impact of her role. He remarked, “I’m glad to see an actress acknowledging her mistake. Content like this can lead young girls to push back against their fathers.” His comments highlight his worries about how media stories can influence cultural behaviors and values.
The Film’s Plot and Public Reaction
Directed by Shoaib Mansoor, Bol hit the screens in 2011 and quickly made waves for addressing some of the most pressing societal issues. The film dives into the life of a deeply conservative family, dominated by a father who struggles to accept his transgender child and often mistreats his daughters and wife. While it garnered praise for its compelling storytelling, it also faced criticism from certain religious groups for challenging societal norms.
