Actress and writer Yasra Rizvi recently shared her thoughts on why many celebrities avoid discussing religion in public. Appearing on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast, the Aangan actress revealed that public figures often fear backlash when speaking about faith.

“People often taunt us, saying, ‘Now actors will teach Islam?’” Yasra remarked, pointing out the criticism faced by celebrities who express religious views.

She urged fellow entertainers to step forward and share the true teachings of Islam instead of shying away from the conversation. “If we, as Muslims, don’t spread the right knowledge, then who will?” she questioned, stressing the need for accurate religious representation.
