Celebration of tolerance: Ushna Shah shares how a Hindu and Christian helped her pray Namaz

Ushna Shah has always raised her voice for religious tolerance and stood up for the rights of minorities. The actor, who has often spoken about the ongoing political and religious unrest in the country, recently took to Twitter and shared an instance where she was helped by a Christian and a Hindu as she went on to pray. 

"A Christian and a Hindu helped me pray Asr just now and set an example of tolerance," Shah tweeted.

"At Nabila salon, the makeup artist for today (who is Hindu) held up the faucet so I could perform Wudu easily and another makeup artist (who did my makeup last night), who is Christian, spread out the Janemaz for me."

Many responded to her tweet and lauded the makeup artists. "JazaKAllah It's a beautiful message that you spread and there are people who respect our religion and expect from us too," a user penned.

Another one added, "Every sane and patriot believes in the Pakistan Ideology in true essence and so the minority citizens. But it is unfortunate that very few rich families of minorities are enjoying the parliament seats and keep adding amounts to their accounts. They have nothing for their communities."

Another tweep commented, "This is exactly how we should be with one another, we are united by humanity!"

One more shared, "These guys are ours, we have to protect them at every cost. They all are as Pakistani as we Muslims are."

A user remarked, "This is how our world should be. tolerance and respect for each other."

Earlier, Shah had taken to the micro-blogging website and shared two cents on how we can end intolerance towards minorities.

"Want to end intolerance? Start at home: Share a meal with someone belonging to a religious minority. Use dishes from the same set. Do this in front of your children," she had written.
