'Pakistanis lose their minds', Ushna Shah responds to critics of her dressing

Pakistani actor Ushna Shah has clapped back at the critics of her clothing, saying that her husband has no issue with her dressing but the audience back in the country "lose their minds". 

The TV actor has been facing online trolls and scrutiny over her clothing preferences, forcing her to respond to such critics in the past well. 

However, the Balaa star reveals that she is now "over" the constant inspection and comments from her Pakistani fans as it no longer holds an impact over her. 

"A girl from a liberal background, who grew up in Canada and wore shorts etc with her friends is now married to a white man who is from a similar background and doesn’t care if she shows her legs when they’re abroad," the actor wrote on her Instagram story.

In the statement, the Pakistani star also brought up the debacle of her wedding dress and dancing on her special day among the Pakistani netizens.

Slamming the critics, the Cheekh actor stated that apologising for her choice of clothes on her wedding was "the biggest mistake" she had ever made, as it gave them an opportunity to keep bashing her for the same reason.

Ushna said that those who found fault with her attire are the same people who "drool over" Bollywood dancers, such as Nargis Fakhri, who was also a Pakistani and a Muslim, but keep "annihilating us for having a liberal upbringing that differs from theirs".

“I’m too old to cater to your hypocrisy. I chose to live my life and be happy,” the Habs actor concluded.

It may be noted that Ushna’s red lehnga and choli attire on her wedding sparked outrage in the country as some found it a beacon of Indian culture. The online criticism drove the actor to offer an apology for 'hurting the sentiments' of her fans and later deactivating her account to take a break from the commotion.
