Alya Nazir (Sair Khan)

[swmc66]

I have'nt come across a family like this where they have accepted their daughter marrying out of the faith and date hime in the meantime. The ones i know have had to leave home to never return. For years my family even hid the fact that my brother married a white british Christian ( hes been married a few times). He was cut off from the family.. A very painful time. Took ages to get him back into my life because family were obstructing it.
The grandparents and Zeedan seem more traditional.
Times are changing and they are probably showing that

Coronation Street star Sair Khan hopes that it isn't the end of the road for Alya Nazir's relationship with Gary Windass.

Alya's romance hit the rocks in dramatic scenes last week, as she finally confessed to Gary about her one-night stand with Jason Grimshaw.

Gary's furious reaction made it clear that he won't be forgiving Alya for her infidelity anytime soon, but Khan told Digital Spy that she is keen for them to have a future.

"The truth is that I don't know what happens," she admitted. "Normally you get an inkling if you speak to the producers in the canteen queue, but they wouldn't tell me!

"I'm just waiting with bated breath to find out, but I really hope that Alya's relationship with Gary does continue. They're such chalk and cheese. Alya is so haughty and you wouldn't expect her to be with a builder who, on paper, doesn't really seem to have much going for himself.

"I think they do bring out really good sides of each other and it's really interesting to see that. I don't think she'll move on to anyone else anytime soon because I don't think that's her.

"Other characters go from relationship to relationship, but I don't think Alya is like that. Gary is the one for her and I would like them to slowly build back up a relationship."

Khan also tipped the Nazir family to rally round Alya once they've recovered from the shock of her recent behaviour.

She said: "Alya is quite close to her family, so letting them down was quite an extreme for her. She'll try to piece herself back together and rebuild those relationships.

"As upset and disappointed as they are in her, there's a few things that will happen that will help them to reconnect."

I do not know that much re Islam but none of the Nazirs seem that devout?

Neither Yasmeen nor Alya wear the hijab - apart from at Kal's funeral, inside the mosque

they both go out socially unaccompanied or chaperoned, and we have never heard of any of the family being at Mosque?

...and we have never heard of any of the family being at Mosque?

I remember at least one scene of them coming home from the mosque and I believe they're supposed to attend regularly. I think they're quite westernised but still hold on to some their traditional values. They were extremely judgemental when they first found out Alya was seeing Gary.

As I said in another post, I think the writing for them has become confused because the Corrie team have tried to make them more likeable recently.

Why is Izzy mad at Alya, hello Gary dumped her for Alya

I don't think Gary and Alya work well as a couple

[Kissinger]

Alya's acting is as false as Sharif's (thou I do like him), and as for her brother, sorry he's so annoying, if my brother went on like that with me, I know what i would tell him to do, after all he's not the head of the family, who the hell does he think he is.
Alya should get out of the family home and live a life of her own, if they are to be Westernised, and she was to marry a White English person,then she is moving on, time to move out too!!!

Alya was living out of home when Gary first meet her, was she at college studying?

They do not have to wear a hijab. Its a choice. Some have it imposed on them I just wear a scarf when i pray or go to a funeral. I do my 5 times prayers when people wearing hijabs often dont! But on the outside they look more religious than me. I rarely go into mosques.

How dare Anna talk to my Alya like that!
