After Pakistani actor Noor Bukhari publicly announced her decision to divorce her singer/actor husband Wali Hamid, the latter has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the matter.

Countering the finality of Noor's post with a more hopeful strain in his message, the singer asks for privacy and requests followers to refrain from badmouthing his wife.

The singer wrote on his Facebook page: "A heartiest humble request to all ‘'Please refrain from commenting negative about Noor, I found my soulmate in her, we had the bestest times of our life together and I still love her, respect her and always will and never want to part ways."

He asked people to "respect our personal feelings and pray for us." as it's a "personal matter and let us handle personally."

Name-calling and blaming women are common phenomena upon the occurrence of a divorce, and it's refreshing to see Wali stand up for Noor even at this difficult stage in their relationship.
