The\u00a0Bharam <\/em>actor\u00a0sat down for a chat with\u00a0BBC Urdu<\/em>\u00a0and delved into the harsh criticism she received over her heartfelt photoshoot with husband Owais Khan, announcing the couple\u2019s pregnancy. Instead of receiving an outpouring of well-wishes, the model found herself inundated with a wave of negative comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was probably six months pregnant at the time of the photoshoot,\u201d shared Ansari. \u201cIt was received very negatively as if I weren\u2019t a Muslim. People invoked culture, insisting pregnancy shoots are part of the West.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor went on to question the many contradictions at play. \u201cDo Pakistanis not have kids? Do Muslim women not get pregnant?\u201d Ansari asked, expressing her shock and frustration at the disproportionate hate she received.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe response wasn\u2019t all bad, some fans reacted very positively and congratulated me,\u201d she added, while noting, \u201cI felt like the internet had turned my moment of happiness into a sad affair.\u201d The\u00a0Maalik<\/em>\u00a0actor also shared how the vitriol online forced her to deactivate her Instagram account. \u201cEmotionally, I broke down and became very vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The photoshoot first made rounds on social media in September this year, prompting Ansari to address the criticism on her Instagram. The actor emphasised that her social media profile is her personal space, and she should be free to post whatever she chooses. \u201cIt\u2019s my profile; my choice. I\u2019ve even had my child. It\u2019s my choice whatever I post. If you don\u2019t like it, you shouldn\u2019t follow me,\u201d she shot back at the trolls.<\/p>\n
