Soha Ali Khan has been accused of not being Muslim enough in the comments thread of a picture she posted on Instagram. In the photo, shared yesterday, Soha wears a pink sari and poses with husband Kunal Khemu.
The 38-year-old actress is pregnant and while she didn't reveal what the occasion was, her followers are guessing that she was dressed for a traditional Bengali baby shower - Soha's mother Sharmila Tagore is Bengali.
Most comments on the post are in praise of Soha's sari and the picture itself - but a handful of comments, in the vein of "shame on you, you are not Muslim," appear to berate the actress for wearing a sari (the unspoken criticism is that she should have worn a sharara or other forms of dress considered appropriate Eid wear) and for not posting an Eid greeting.
Several other comments defend Soha Ali Khan's right to wear what she pleases and reject the notion that her choice of outfit should be seen as a cultural betrayal. The post has over 50,000 likes so far.
