Omer Shahzad and Shanzay Lodhi have responded to the ongoing backlash by sharing a post in which they condemned the criticism surrounding their pictures. The couple clarified that the viral clips were taken out of context from their vlog and were selectively shared by certain magazine pages, which led to misunderstanding among the public.
Shanzay Lodhi and Omer Shahzad addressed the criticism by sharing a detailed statement on social media. They wrote:
“We’ve seen some of the comments on our Umrah video, and we just want to say this with clarity and respect. This video was simply a collection of our memories from Makkah—not just our Umrah, but moments we shared during our time there. We are husband and wife, and there was nothing inappropriate or wrong in what we shared.
We’ve also seen certain magazine pages criticizing us. The judgment and assumptions being made, including by these pages, are unnecessary and unfair, and we respectfully disagree with the narrative being created. If people spent less time judging others and more time focusing on their own lives, they probably wouldn’t have the time to come here and engage in unnecessary criticism.
If you don’t understand our intention, please don’t question our character. Khush rehna seekhen.”
