Mahabharat star Shafaq Naaz lashes at trolls for insulting her for her Karwa Chauth celebrations: 'Don't be in India…'
TV star Shafaq Naaz finally broke her silence on trolls who harassed her for celebrating Karwa Chauth with her husband, Zeeshan Pewekar. Addressing her naysayers, the Mahabharat actress said that celebrating another culture’s festival and wearing sindoor does not mean one has abandoned their faith.
She also was taken aback at the hate and trolling and rampant abuse she faced in her comment section. She clarified that her husband is also a Muslim and poked fun at her trolls that they think their faith is so weak that seeing someone celebrate another culture makes them think the faith is endangered. She also emphasised how celebrating cultural practices are the norm for many in the country, as India is the epitome of cultural diversity. She also called out her detractors for targeting her husband and said that if seeing a person celebrate various festivals bothers trolls, they should leave the country. “Don’t be in India; if you have problems, go somewhere else,” she quipped.
She revealed she had grown up learning to respect others' religions. Ge also told naysayers they have the right to have their own values and live according to those, but they have no right to judge her life. “I will not stop living my life,” she explained. She also emphasised the importance of respect: “Respect is a must…” She also said that people who feel uncomfortable with her celebrating various festivals from other cultures are welcome to unfollow her.
The video went viral, and several of the actress’s well-wishers and friends flooded the comment section. Her sister and fellow actress Falaq Naaz commented, "Online Beth ke trolling karna counts in imaan shafaq, you don’t know!" We don’t know..."

Wearing a traditional red saree, matching bangles and sindoor, she shared several pictures alongside him, expressing her affection for the man who had stood by her through her most difficult moments while wishing him on the occasion.
