Growing up in Europe the word Islam was always associated with negativity, war, violence and to be honest I was never a religious person before so I didn’t really care what people thought back then.

In May 2021, Zoya called off her relationship with Betzmann after he weighed in on the issue of Israel and Palestine where he criticized Pakistan’s stance. In one note, Betzmann wrote,
Sharing something spread in the mainstream media won’t make any difference. Stop feeling guilty about others when you are trashing your own country, not helping your own people and community.”
A few days after Betzmann’s post, Zoya shared,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that Christian Betzmann and I are no longer engaged to be married. The sudden change in his attitude towards my culture, my country, my people and his insensitivity towards my religion has led me to take this difficult and irreversible decision.”
