Pakistani actress Ushna Shah is facing flak for wearing a red lehenga on her nikah. The actress recently tied the knot with golfer Hamza Amin and wore a stunning red lehenga for the wedding.

After pictures and videos of the newlyweds surfaced on social media, several users slammed Usha for “dressing up like an Indian bride” and wearing a “Hindu style” wedding dress for their nikah. Responding to the trolls, Usha wrote a long note on her Instagram Stories and announced that she is taking a break from social media after the massive backlash.

On Wednesday, Ushna revealed that she tried “very hard” to keep her nikah private, but felt “violated” when pictures from her wedding were shared on social media without permission. The actress said she was stepping away from social media “for the sake of my mental health”. Usha’s Instagram account had over 2.6 million followers at the time of deactivation.

She wrote in a series of Instagram Stories that she received “hundreds of thousands of messages” after getting married “her way”. Sharing a screenshot of her recent conversation with a photographer who allegedly shared her unauthorized wedding photos online with the help of a fashion blogger who was invited to the wedding, the actress wrote on Instagram Stories, “I have Apologies to (a fashion blogger) only to save her from trolling and being bullied mercilessly for marrying my way.

She continued, “For doing my best to keep my marriage (marriage) yours. For being upset that my Nikah (marriage ceremony) got interrupted by a drone and for feeling violated. Hundreds of thousands of messages. This is beyond cruel. Please forgive me for wearing what I was wearing and for trying to protect what was meant to be mine. I didn’t sign up for any of this. I’m bowing to this legend.”

Ushna Shah is a Pakistani actress who mainly works in Urdu television shows. He made his acting debut in 2013 with Mere Khwabon Ka Diya. She rose to prominence with the 2014 romantic TV series Bashar Momin.
