Sana Khan Faces Backlash For ‘Forcing’ Sambhavna Seth To Wear Burqa | Watch
Sana Khan has landed in hot water after a video of her with Sambhavna Seth went viral. In the clip, Sana is seen jokingly forcing Sambhavna to wear a burqa and a dupatta. Some people feel she was imposing her beliefs, while others think it was just a harmless moment between friends.
In the video, Sana is seen asking Sambhavna, “Tere paas ek acchi salwar kameez nahi hai… thappad chahiye? Where is your dupatta? Burqa laao… Sambhavna ko burqa pehnao (You don’t have a good salwar kameez… Want a slap? Where is your dupatta? Bring a burqa… Make Sambhavna wear a burqa).”
Sambhavna explained that none of her clothes fit her anymore as she has gained 15 kgs. She added, “People will focus on what we say, not on our clothes. People will love us for who we are.”
As soon as the video went viral, netizens criticised Sana, questioning why she was commenting on Sambhavna’s choice of clothing. One user remarked, “Sambhavna should avoid hanging out with such people.”
Another person called out Sana’s remarks, writing, “This is ridiculous… She was already dressed modestly, yet Sana had a problem. Who is she to comment? Just because you wear a niqab doesn’t make you more righteous.”
A Muslim user also expressed disappointment, stating, “This is very bad behavior, especially to show online. Respecting others’ beliefs is just as important as wanting yours to be respected. Even if she was joking, it sets a bad example, especially when there’s already enough hate towards us. Forcing anyone to do something they’re uncomfortable with is completely haram.”
Echoing similar sentiments, another comment read, “Sambhavna is already wearing decent clothes. I don’t understand why Sana is making an issue out of it. She isn’t Muslim, and Sana shouldn’t be forcing anything on her. Forcing someone to follow your beliefs goes against Islam itself.”
“Clothes should not be imposed on anyone sambhavna have full rights to wear whatsoever she wants and if she has problems then don’t call them on your show,” wrote an Instagram user.
“Guys, apparently Sambhavna will be seen attending Sana’s podcast and Sana is pointing out that she is underdressed.. She is not questioning her choice to cover/not cover her body.. Sana is telling her that if she had told her before, she would have arranged for some alternatives.. The comments section is full of negativity,” a fan wrote.
Sana Khan stepped away from the entertainment industry before marrying Anas in November 2020. Following her decision, she also wiped her social media clean, deleting pictures and videos from her acting career, photoshoots, and travel diaries.
