However, few netizens trolled the actress for sharing a post on Karwa Chauth and questioned her if she is allowed to observe the fast. 

"There is.no way ur allowed to do so.."

"Yes you don't wear sindoor. So now you are not fasting then obviously you have converted to Islam after married. But please stop giving advice on karwachouth. Since you have left Hinduism ."

"In jaiso ko karwa chauth se koi matlab nhi hota!! Jewellery dikhani hoti hai"

"Karwa chauth a day of immense importance for many women has been reduced to this ?! She doesn’t fast, she doesn’t celebrate and in private probably ridicules it but yes she will use the day to make some money by selling a product.. slow clap !"

Speaking of Farhan Akhtar, he will be return to direction with his upcoming film, 'Jee Le Zaraa'. The film is written by his sister Zoya Akhtar. It stars Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt in lead roles.
