'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' Actress Mohena Kumari Singh Slams Trolls Who Criticised Her For Wearing Veil At Wedding
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actress Mohena Kumari Singh was trolled for doing so. A lot of people thought she was following male-dominated traditions. She soon hit back on them and told them all that even Christians have a veil when they marry.
Some traditions are considered orthodox. For instance, a lot of people don't fast on Karva Chauth anymore. Akshay Kumar's wife Twinkle Khanna once said that people in other countries don't fast for their husband's long life. That doesn't mean they all die, right?
That is a possibility-so I checked longevity records-100 countries where men without anyone fasting for them live longer than Indian men:) https://t.co/rBspyZDzni

She soon hit back on them and told them all that ¡°even Christians have a veil when they marry...and so do Muslims ... I guess they are all uneducated too ! It¡¯s an age old Rajput tradition which Rajput women follow when they get married. This was not forced upon me... I chose to do it [sic]¡±.
