Religion was never the criteria: Eijaz Khan’s spokesperson on Pavitra Purnia’s recent statement 

Eijaz Khan belongs to a family where there are people from all religions, said the actor’s spokesperson after his ex-girlfriend Pavitra Punia’s recent remarks on conversion. The spokesperson further reiterated that the actor, who has spent over three decades in the industry, celebrates all the festivals and all religions; that is very evident from his social media accounts.

It is also being addressed that such personal claims not only affect an actor’s personal life, but they face professional setbacks too.

“His father has been getting calls from his friends asking if your son asked his girlfriend to convert to Islam. He is very hurt because he was the happiest when he learned about Eijaz and Pavitra’s relationship. Religion was never the criteria in their relationship, but somehow it is being dragged now that it is over,” the spokesperson added.

The spokesperson further said, “Eijaz has been to Tirupati Balaji and Siddhivinayak Temple to seek blessings during the release of his new projects, and such a claim has insinuated that he had brought up the topic.”

It’s our responsibility to check the facts and then come to a conclusion before accusing someone of something that they have not said or done, said the spokesperson. “In the interview, when Pavitra was asked if religion was one of the major reasons for their breakup and she categorically said, ‘No, absolutely not. Religion was never any problem,’ and that she had herself said in the beginning of their relationship that she will not convert. Now only the part about conversion is being used, and the rest has been omitted. Eijaz has in fact celebrated Diwali and Ganesh Chaturthi when he was living with Pavitra. All this is having real-time repercussions, and people should realize the effect it has on the other party,” the spokesperson ended.
