Why do celebrities avoid talking about religion? Yasra Rizvi reveals the truth
Actress and writer Yasra Rizvi has opened up about why many celebrities hesitate to talk about religion in public.
Appearing as a guest on Ahmed Ali Butt's podcast, the Aagan actress shared her thoughts on religious discussions in the entertainment industry.
Yasra believes that entertainment industry personalities avoid speaking about religion because they fear criticism.
“People often taunt us, saying, ‘Now actors will teach Islam?’” she said.
Yasra Rizvi urged celebrities to come forward and share the true teachings of Islam.
“If we, as Muslims, don’t spread the right knowledge, then who will,” she questioned. Yasra warned that if people continue to shy away, misconceptions will grow, and society will suffer.
The Wo Dobara actress emphasized the importance of properly teaching Islam to the younger generation.
"Most parents treat Islam like a school subject, limiting it to Quran reading and religious studies,” Yasra Rizvi explained.
