Indian celebrities are known for embracing secular values within their households. They are often vocal about secularism. However, this commitment to harmony is sometimes met with online backlash, as they face criticism for participating in celebrations of different religions and festivals. The most recent victims of this social media negativity are TV actor Shoaib Ibrahim and his sister-vlogger Saba Ibrahim.
India is
celebrating Rakshabandhan today. On this special occasion, Shoaib Ibrahim’s sister Saba Ibrahim too tied a rakhi and they celebrated the day with their cousins. Sharing some beautiful photos on Instagram, Shoaib wrote, “Happy Rakshabandhan to all #khushrahiyepyaarbaatiye.”
While their posts received several heartwarming comments, it did not go well with many who trolled them for ‘celebrating Hindu festival’ being Muslim.
