In 2014, an Instagram user namely @zloymom asked about religious affiliation of Aftab. ”Hello, my friend! Can I ask you – are you Krishna or Muslim? I have two friends from India one of them is Krishna and other one – Muslim,” the user wrote.
To which, Aftab wrote, ”I am a Muslim and the other term you’re is Hindu. Lord Krishna is the God of Hindus. May I ask why the certain inquisitiveness about my religion???”
The user informed why he asked the question, ”Because, I want to correct say you HI – if You are Muslim I’ll say You Salam Aleykum. Otherwise, I would need to say Namaste.”
