Naimal Khawar Khan has come forth addressing all the censure she has been facing recently over her decision to quit working in the showbiz after tying the knot to    eminent actor Hamza Ali Abbasi

The 'Anaa' starlet turned to Twitter to address 'a few things' after taking the plunge. 

“Thank you so much, everyone, for the wonderful wishes and prayers for me and Hamza as we embark on this new journey in our lives. Now that the wedding is over, I would like to address a few things," Naimal wrote. 

She went on to add: "First, I am a consenting adult woman capable of making my own decisions and this narrative of ‘saving me’ is nothing short of demeaning my right to choose for myself.”

“Second, while I understand that public figures are always subject to criticism even when it’s their personal life choices, please don’t distort facts,” she added.

The actor also shared that her decision to quit acting came almost nine months ago. 

“I left acting nine months ago and the decision was entirely mine. Don’t spread false news to sensationalise someone’s special day." 

Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar Khan are currently grabbing the attention from all around for their wedding. 

The couple got married in a beautiful nikkah ceremony held on August 25, followed by the reception on Monday.
