Farah Khan faces backlash for not putting tilak on her forehead
The moment was captured on camera and drew mixed reactions, with some trolling Farah while others supported her. After refusing to put the tilak on her forehead, Farah asked to put it on her hand before proceeding to the event, and the lady did. The clip has been widely circulated since it was posted.
Netizens shared their views on Farah’s decision. Many supported her, saying it was her free will and that she wanted to follow cultural practices. Others tried to give it a communal angle and question her beliefs. One user on X wrote, “She’s a Muslim, and can’t be blamed for refusing it. The stupidity is of Hindus who have reduced a sacred Tika to a Tattoo that can be applied to anyone.”
Another user penned, “But why are we Hindus so keen to follow traditions with people who have a visceral hate for our religion? Blame ourselves, don’t cry, victim!” A third user commented, “It’s her choice; stop making issues out of anything. Don’t force your religion on others. Everyone is free to respect their own religion. Does she force you to read kalma?”
A fourth user wrote, “I don’t know why you wanna put something that’s sacred in your religion on someone who doesn’t follow it; it’s not something you can just put on anyone; it should be applied only by people who truly believe in it, and if they don’t, refusing is not anti-secular.”
Talking about Farah, she doesn’t pay heed to what people say. In fact, she is so clear about her thoughts that she makes sure to share what goes on in her heart. A while ago, Farah revealed that her daughters are insecure about their looks. The conversation started after Akanksha talked about her journey in modelling and candidly revealed that she was not confident about her looks before entering pageants.
Akanksha then revealed her old photos from her teenage years and stated that she had been insecure. Farah replied that her daughters even feel the same and they think they are very ugly. She said:
“Please meet my daughters then! Even they feel that they are very ugly.”
However, Akanksha quickly added that she has met her daughters and they are extremely cute. Akanksha then talked about her modelling journey and stated that she feels that she has become more beautiful even without makeup.
However, netizens quickly reacted to Farah Khan’s daughters’ insecurities. They pointed out that Farah’s daughters are the most beautiful, but they feel ugly due to the ‘fair’ complexion ideal instilled in people’s minds.
