Zaira Wasim back on social media, explains why she left the platform

Zaira Wasim has recently created a stir on the internet. After deactivating social media accounts, Zaira on Saturday explained the reason behind her move. However, the former Bollywood actor is back on social media platforms after a short break.

Mumbai: After taking a short break from social media, former Bollywood actor Zaira Wasim is now back on Twitter and Instagram. She took to Twitter and explained the reason behind deactivating her accounts.

Answering to a Twitter user's question, who asked, "Why did she deactivate her account?," Zaira replied by saying that she is just a human who is allowed to take a break.

"Because I'm just a human, like everyone else, who's allowed to take a break from everything whenever the noise inside my head or around me reaches it's peak:)," Zaira tweeted.

The Dangal actor had earlier on Friday deleted her Twitter and Instagram accounts after facing a backlash for posting a verse from the Holy Quran about floods and locust attacks.

In the tweet which now stands deleted, the Secret Superstar actor had quoted a verse from the Quran.

"'So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood: Signs openly self-explained: but they were steeped in arrogance- a people given to sin' -Qur'an 7:133," read her tweet.

Wasim was widely criticised by Twitterati as they believed that she tried to justify the locust attacks and floods that are currently affecting the country.

The Sky Is Pink actor then left social media by deleting both her Instagram and Twitter accounts.

Even last year, Wasim had created a stir when she announced that she is quitting her career in acting as she felt that her profession was damaging her peace, iman, and her relationship with her religion.
