Kaif said: “In all 4pics,I had Allah in my heart. Cant understand what doing any exercise, Surya Namaskar or Gym has to do with religion.It benefits ALL. (sic)”
Just a few days ago, Shami was the subject of a lot of criticism on social media for pictures he posted with his wife Hasin Jahan and his daughter.
The pictures, posted on Christmas, showed the trio in Western attire and drew flak from some people for being ‘un-Islamic’.
Mohammad Kaif had been one of the first celebrities on Twitter to call out the trolls over the treatment meted out to Shami.
