Shafaq Naaz Slams Trolls For Questioning Her Religious Identity After Karwa Chauth Post
Shafaq Naaz, who faced massive trolling over her karwa chauth post and applying sindoor during celebrations, has now hit back at the trolls. In a video on social media, Shafaq stated, “Just because I applied Sindoor I don’t remain a Muslim anymore. Is my religion so halka? Kya religion itna halka hai? You can’t tell me what I should do and what I shouldn’t do. I can’t sit here and tell you how much time I am praying, how much I fast, what all things I do. Religion is a very personal thing. It’s a belief. I will do whatever I can in my capacity and what I want to do. You should not force and you should not judge. And if you really want to judge, if you don’t like my belief, then don’t follow me. Leave me. I don’t have any problem. I am happy”
