Getting married should be one of the happiest days of your life. It is the time when the stresses come along and gym sessions start, but also a time when you welcome two families together. When it comes to Indian and Pakistani weddings, especially the famous actors and actresses who are tying the knot, they are extravagant, over the top but fabulous to watch.
Controversy about Ushna’s Outfit
The most exciting thing that everyone wants to see is the bride’s outfit. With the seasons that pass by and the years that come along, there is a new trend for every occasion. It is traditional for Indian brides to wear red on their wedding day, but now, some brides are seen to wear gold as it’s seen as more modern. Pakistani brides also wear red but there is a different style altogether. The traditional style is long-sleeved, dress style with a skirt – beautiful and modest.
Pakistani actress Ushna Shah recently received controversy over the outfit she wore for her wedding with many people trolling her online, leaving negative remarks on her post. Although Ushan said her wedding day was private and pictures should not have been released, it was unacceptable for those online to write negative comments.
Ushna wore a red lehnga (outfit) that was seen as more of a ‘Hindu’ or ‘Indian’ style outfit rather than a Pakistani outfit. Immediately, after the pictures were shown online, Ushna experienced a load of hate mail – some despicable and some that were unnecessary.

Instagram Deactivation
After the hate had spread around and gotten even more intense, Ushna decided to deactivate her Instagram account. Her last post stated, she is a new bride and wants to enjoy these moments with her husband. With it being one of the happiest days of her life, it is such a shame that millions of people had to disrespect the Pakistani actress and push her to the point of her having to leave social media platforms.
Positive Power of the People
Many people online who are fans and followers of Ushna did come together and speak out against those who had something negative to say. Some comments said ‘We make people depress in their happy times and make them leave their passion jobs’ as well as ‘all I see is a pretty bride.’
Ushna shah deactivates her Instagram just a day after the happiest day of her life, and questions if she’s suitable for showbiz, the industry she has passionately worked for. This is our society! We make people depress in their happy times and make them leave their passion jobs
