‘Dangal’ actress Zaira Wasim gives a fitting reply to a BJP minister

Zaira Wasim, who stole our hearts with her performance in ‘Dangal’, has been in the news for mostly wrong reasons. Few days ago, she was slammed for meeting J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti, and now, the actress is once again in news for giving a fitting reply to Union minister for sports and youth affairs Vijay Goel.

Well, the minister on his Twitter handle posted a painting’s picture, and wrote, “This painting tells a story similar to @zairawasim, पिंजरा तोड़ कर हमारी बेटियां बढ़ने लगी हैं आगे | More power to our daughters!”

To this, Zaira gave a fitting reply. In a few tweets, she wrote, “@VijayGoelBJP Sir, with all respect to you, I feel I must disagree. I request you not to connect me to such a discourteous depiction. (1/3) @VijayGoelBJP Women in hijab are beautiful and free (2/3). @VijayGoelBJP Moreover, the story depicted through this painting is not even remotely relevant to mine. (3/3).”

To clarify himself, Vijay in a couple of tweets wrote, “You have interpreted wrong. I appreciated your work and stated that evil and patriarchal notions must be discouraged. I’m afraid you still haven’t understood. But I wish you all the very best and appreciate your work. Hope to meet & interact too.”

‘Eat Sleep Bollywood Repeat’ is his life Mantra. Dance is his first love and Rani Mukerji is his eternal crush. He is someone who loves being himself, and as for the ones who don’t agree, his reply? “Talk to my hand!”
