Actor Payal Ghosh Calls Out Pakistani Actor's 'Begum' Comment After Pahalgam Attack: 'Don't Scare Me'
Payal Ghosh claimed a Pakistani actor-friend warned her to learn 'Ilm al-Kalam' before visiting Kashmir after the Pahalgam attack. She slammed the friend publicly.
Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi actor Payal Ghosh has claimed that a Pakistani actor-friend warned her to learn 'Ilm al-Kalam' if she planned to visit Kashmir after the Pahalgam attack. For the unversed, 'Ilm al-Kalam' is the Islamic study of theology and philosophy that uses logic and reasoning to explain and defend religious beliefs. Payal had previously shared on social media that she had discussed her Kashmir travel plans with this friend, who then made the suggestion.
Payal Ghosh had reportedly booked her tickets to Kashmir about a week before the attacks and is now unsure about making the trip. Things escalated when her friend told her to either learn 'Ilm al-Kalam' or be ready for serious consequences. After Payal spoke out about this on social media, the Pakistani actor further upset her by saying she should be ready to become a 'begum' (wife) to stay safe during her visit. Payal reacted strongly, slamming him publicly on her social media handle.
Taking to her Instagram story, she wrote, 'I can't be anyone's begum. Don't scare me and give me threats I'll still come to Jammu and kashmir you can't give me these threats …I won't learn Ilm al-Kalam. Jai hind I love my Country (sic)." Take a look:
On being asked more about it, Payal shared, 'The audacity of this person has reached a new low. He is trying to threaten me regarding my travel plans in my own country all the way from Pakistan. Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India and I will definitely come there as per my plan. Such people are a disgrace to society."
Previously, Payal condemned the ghastly attack on tourists at South of Kashmir's Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives. 'You know what. They thought Kashmiris are going to live a good life with tourists around.. so they won't get agitated by these militants anymore.. so they killed the innocent tourists to escalate the fear among tourists to visit Kashmir and also they are trying to separate us on the basis of religion.. hello a**h**es .. we are Indians irrespective of caste, creed, religion.. you can never divide us.. Every Indian is angry now," she wrote.
