Mumbai: Actress Zaira Waseem, who left the showbiz industry in 2019 for religion Islam, has come forward to support women who eat food in niqab.
A Twitter user shared a picture of a woman eating with a niqab in her tweet and captioned it mocking the niqab, ‘Is it a human choice?’
Responding to this tweet, Zaira Wasim wrote that she also attended the wedding and ate in the same way and it was entirely her choice.
Just attended a wedding. Ate exactly like this. Purely my choice. Even when everyone around me kept nagging me that I take the niqab off. I didn’t.
We don’t do it for you. Deal with it. https://t.co/Gu9AXQka8v
