The holiest month for the Muslims, Ramadan 2026 began on Thursday (Feb 19). Muslims observe fast during the entire month of Ramadan from Dawn or Sunrise (Sehri) to Sunset (Iftar). It is likely that Azam, could be breaking his fast late in the evening.
However, as is the case with Babar, he was once again at the centre of social media trolls.
