Mumbai: Former actress Sana Khan has come under fire after a video surfaced online showing her playfully urging fellow actress Sambhavna Seth to wear a burqa and dupatta. The clip has sparked mixed reactions, with some accusing Sana of imposing her beliefs, while others dismissed it as harmless banter between friends.

In the video, Sana is seen saying, “Tere paas ek acchi salwar kameez nahi hai… thappad chahiye? Where is your dupatta? Burqa laao… Sambhavna ko burqa pehnao” (You don’t have a good salwar kameez… Want a slap? Where is your dupatta? Bring a burqa… Make Sambhavna wear a burqa).

Sambhavna, who appeared in casual attire, responded by explaining that none of her clothes fit her anymore due to gaining weight. She added, “People will focus on what we say, not on our clothes. People will love us for who we are.”

The video quickly went viral, drawing criticism from netizens. One user commented, “Sambhavna should avoid hanging out with such people.” Another remarked, “Who is Sana to comment? Just because you wear a niqab doesn’t make you more righteous.”

A Muslim user expressed disappointment, writing, “Respecting others’ beliefs is just as important as wanting yours to be respected. Even if it was a joke, it sets a bad example.”

However, some defended Sana, suggesting the comments were taken out of context. A fan wrote, “Sana was pointing out that Sambhavna was underdressed for her podcast and offering to arrange alternatives, not forcing her to cover up.”
