Zaira Wasim returns to social media after quoting Quran controversy

Former Bollywood actor Zaira Wasim has returned to social media after a short hiatus when one of her tweets irked a few.

Wasim has deleted her Twitter and Instagram accounts after being heavily trolled for quoting the Quran in light of the locust attacks taking place in Mumbai this week, reported Mid-Day.

“So we sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood: signs openly self- explained. But they were steeped in arrogance – a people given to sin,” she had tweeted.

Soon, Wasim started receiving hateful comments from netizens who interpreted her post as a justification of the attacks. Shortly after being deluged with such comments, the Dangal actor deleted her Twitter and Instagram accounts.


Zaira took to Twitter to answer a user’s question as to why she left social media in the first place. “Why did she deactivate her account?,” it read.

Zaira replied, “Because I’m just a human, like everyone else, who’s allowed to take a break from everything whenever the noise inside my head or around me reaches it’s peak.”
