Pakistani actress Ushna Shah, who recently came under fire on social media for saying that she would “not intimidate or ostracize” anyone for fear of dire consequences, quoted co-star Feroze Khan as saying that she can be treated as such. Once again on social media to justify his position.
The Hibbs starlet’s comment sparked outrage as Khan was slammed on social media following allegations of abuse by his wife.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Ashna penned a touching and detailed note on her stand on the matter.
“This Ramadan, I stand up to a powerful corporation in solidarity with a woman who lost her father to them. I stand up for a friend who has been unjustly detained. “
The star’s argument is based on the situation faced by the late TV show host Aamir Liaquat – who gained a lot of notoriety in the months after his death for several controversial statements and was subsequently criticized on social media.
Citing the example, Ashna wrote: “I have urged people not to misbehave with their ex-partner who allegedly molested a woman, as far as we can lose him like we did Aamir. We lost Liaquat. There’s no going back because I’ve seen what social media does, the punishment for theft is chopping off the hand, we chop off the head.”
She then referred to the backlash and trolling she faced during her wedding ceremony in late February.
“The reaction to my choice to wear a supposed “Indian-style lehenga” and dance at my own wedding, was a perfect example.
She wrote, “So when millions of people abuse someone for what they allegedly did and abuse their family day and night, non-stop, I know what it can do. And this is not a fair punishment.
He then responded to the way people had interpreted his previous comments on Feroze Khan’s story and defended his right to his opinion, saying he was neither “far-right nor left-wing”. Supported by
“What I stand for is my own conscience. I’m allowed my own self-reflection, even if it’s met with backlash. Not an “abuse empath,” I’m a human empath, and I’m a criminal. does not believe in killing people for a reason that does not warrant the death penalty, even if the alleged perpetrator is found guilty.”
Highlighting the effects of bullying and excessive trolling on social media, Ashna reiterated that those who are allegedly guilty should not be taken to extremes if the crime does not justify it. Must be pushed.
“I’ve had enough of faceless mob justice, the world has become so ugly and toxic, from the most conservative extreme to the most woke end. I have a voice, I’ll lend it to any cause, whatever. That’s fair enough. Animals, women who have been allegedly abused, actors who have passed away and the people I work for deserve more recognition (and voice expectations). have been), these are the alleged wrongdoers who are being heavily punished.
“That’s how I’m wired, that’s how I can face myself and my God. If my voice disturbs the world, don’t make news about it. I won’t sell my conscience.”
