Shabana Azmi Receives Flak For Sharing Heartbreaking Picture Of Two Kids; Actress Gives Back Asking 'How Is It Propaganda?'

Veteran actress Shabana Azmi is pretty active on social media. She stays connected with her fans by sharing quotes and views that intrigue her. Recently, she shared an image of two homeless kids seated on a footpath and called the visual heartbreaking. In the tough times of Coronavirus, many are finding it difficult to earn their bread and butter. The lockdown has forced many migrants to walk miles to reach their hometown and the internet is filled with images that move you. The image shared by Shabana Azmi is one such visual. However, she received flak for it on social media.

As she shared the image on Instagram and Twitter with caption 'heartbreaking' a lot of people raised the question as to why she isn't helping the needy instead of posting pics. One netizen asked, "Why dont u do for them instead of posting these pics? Allah gives u alot then do for them na if u do only for 100 peoples or children then u can think what the change can be in society .. Allah ne jinhe diya h wo b bht kuch krein to inki pics nahi click krni padegi hame kabhi kyunki ham govt ko kya blame karnge jab ham khud bhi kuch karnw ki niyat nahi rakh pate sirf apni zindgi me busy rehte hain har waqt. Do change something at least pls."

However, the actress gave it back with full force and wrote, "kis buniyaad pe aspne soch liya ke maine kuch nahi kiya hai inke liye ? Jitna aap ne kiya hoga us se kahin zyada kiya hai shart lag jaye !"
