While Khatija is donning a veil in the said picture, her sister Raheema and mother Sairaa are not.
Khatija has also reportedly clarified that she was not forced by anyone to cover her face. She took to Facebook to share her thoughts on the matter. Khatija clarified that the veil has nothing to do with her parents.
“The veil has been my choice with complete acceptance and honour. I’m a sane mature adult who knows to make my choices in life,” she said.
She added that everybody has the right to dress according to their choice and that she has been doing the same. Khatija also urged people to not jump to conclusions or judge others without understanding the situation.
Rahman has three children – Khatija, Raheema, and Ameen. Khatija has also sung for her father in Enthiran
