Mumbai:
Actress Soha Ali Khan, counter attacked trolls on social media today who raised questions on her faith after her recent visit to the iconic Golden Temple in Amritsar and a Ganpati pandal. She claimed that India is a secular nation and going to a temple doesn't make her a "non-Muslim". She had visited the majestic Golden Temple and a Ganesh pandal in order to seek blessings ahead of the release of her thriller film "31st October".
"I am all for freedom of expression, but being told how going to a temple makes me a non-Muslim is plain callous. No one has the right to say that. Whether I choose to do namaz or go to a Church, how does it affect anyone?," Soha said in a statement here. "Nobody owns me. India being a secular nation, we have to respect all religions and each other's choices," she said.
Soha will be working with actor-comedian Vir Das for the first time in "31st October" directed by Shivaji Lotan Patil. Writer-producer Harry Sachdeva's "31st October" will portray the destruction and horror which engulfed the nation after Indira Gandhi's assassination. The movie is set to hit theatres on 7th October, 2016.
