Lahore (Showbiz Desk): Renowned Pakistani film and television actor Afzal Khan, popularly known as John Rambo, has recalled the final moments of his late mother, revealing that he recited the Kalima Tayyiba to her shortly before she passed away.
Clarifying a statement about his sons that went viral on social media, John Rambo said he was proud of his children and that his sons were extremely obedient. An old interview of the actor had been circulating on social media in which he became emotional while remembering his father and advised the younger generation to spend more time with their parents. However, the conversation was presented out of context, creating the impression that his sons did not spend time with him.
In a new video, the actor clarified that he was proud of his sons and praised the way his mother had raised them. He said he had spent a great deal of time with his father, who was also happy with him, but he still regretted not having spent even more time with him. It was based on this personal experience that he had advised young people to spend time with their parents.
John Rambo said his sons, Ahsan and Zain, were extremely obedient. He added that if he ever scolded them, both would avoid facing him for 2 to 3 days. According to him, his sons were precious gems, and he had never seen children like them in his life.
He appealed to social media pages to refrain from spreading false claims about his children. He also requested channels sharing fabricated content under his name to remove such posts.
The actor became emotional while recalling his mother's final moments. He said he was beside her when her eyes were rolling upwards and the doctor was examining her. Seeing her condition, he gently moved the doctor aside and called out to his mother. Upon hearing his voice, she turned her eyes towards him and began looking at him.
According to John Rambo, he felt that his mother's condition was deteriorating further, so he leaned close to her ear and gently urged her to recite the Kalima Tayyiba. He said his mother recited the complete Kalima clearly and repeated it 3 times. He described the moment as extremely emotional for him.
He said that when he turned around, approximately 10 to 12 relatives were standing nearby, waiting to inquire about his mother's condition, while his father had gone outside to offer prayers. According to the actor, he informed his family that his mother had passed away after reciting the Kalima Tayyiba.
