Veteran actor Bushra Ansari caught attention on social media when she shared a photo of herself wearing a shawl with Allama Iqbal’s poetry written on it. She was getting ready for a Ramazan TV show.
In her post, Ansari cleverly joked about the poetry on her shawl, saying, “If you can read Urdu, you’ll understand.”
The choice of attire and her witty comment was in retort to the recent incident at Lahore’s Ichra Bazaar where a woman wearing a shirt with Arabic writing, was harassed by a fanatical mob.

Thanks to quick action from the police, led by Assistant Superintendent Syeda Shehrbano Naqvi, the woman remained safe.
Ansari’s comment is a reminder about violence and ignorance. While some might see her shawl gesture as bold, she’s known for her funny jokes and straight talk.
