Talking about it, Bushra Ansari said, “I asked a fan and friend, Sudaish, saying, ‘Yes, I was fortunate enough to have worn Noor Jahan’s saree, now please bring me Lata Ji’s one old saree, if possible.’ But then she passed away. So I told him, ‘If not Lata’s saree, then bring Amitabh Bachchan’s socks— even one from a pair would be enough.’ He said, ‘What are you talking about, Bushra Ansari Ji?’ but then he agreed to find it.” Here is the link to the video:
Bushra Ansari is facing severe public wrath, many didn’t like her statement especially when the ties between India and Pakistan are so complicated. One said, “Shame on you. Are they Muslim? They can’t see anything beyond showbiz,” one commented. Another wrote, “Sad to hear that our seniors are making such people their role models — what are they expecting from them? They aren’t even Muslims. May Allah guide everyone.” One stated, “I mean, seriously? I think artists should take at least two minutes before doing or saying something, as they represent and influence millions.” Another wrote, “Astaghfirullah!
