Former actor responded to criticism over celebrating Christmas


Entertainment Desk December 15, 2020

Former actor Noor Bukhari recently received flak over an Instagram story. The host took to social media and shared a snap of a Christmas tree, which sparked a debate over Noor's religious beliefs. 

The star then faced severe criticism over her Insta story. So much so, that she had to put up a clarification of the aforementioned snap. "I'm not Christian but I want my kids to learn to respect all religions and we should send positive gestures. They are Ahl-e-Kitaab," she wrote, adding, "Plus, my daughter loves Christmas tree, so I don't feel any harm in it. PS: Sab Allah ki makhlooq hain."

In 2018, the former TV host and actor explained that her showbiz journey had come to an end as she embarked upon the path to religion.

Talking to The Express Tribune, the star shared how things have changed since her decision. "My life changed the minute I chose to put on my hijab. I cannot put into words the experience I have had but I will say that I really felt what an ideal life feels like after choosing religion." She had added, "I have always had a lot of love for my family but after this year, I have a general sense of love for all of humanity."
