After receiving online criticism, Pakistani actor Armeena Khan took to Twitter and explained her statement about artists playing religion card for success in showbiz industry.
Earlier, the Bin Roye actor tweeted, “Advancing acting careers using religious extremism seems to be quite the ‘in’ thing these days. Can’t make it without huh?”
The 34-year-old then clarified, “I’ve also observed that no matter what religion you follow, if you’re an extremist then your interpretation of that religion will be extreme also. Conversely, a well-balanced person will find just that in every religion – balance.
Khan expressed disappointment over people assuming her tweets were directed towards certain artists, “I’m REALLY disliking the fact that my tweets are being attributed to specific artists. Please bear in mind that I have not named anyone nor do I indulge in personal attacks, that is not my style. My commentary is on the general, sudden right-wing ‘shift’.”
Social media users accused the actor of having an “imperialist mindset” which she is using to gain popularity.
