Zaira Wasim's announcement on her "disassociation" from the field of acting, saying she was not happy with the line of work as it interfered with her faith and religion, created quite a stir in the media. She even deleted all the pictures from her social media handles and only used to share Quran verses or quotes on her handles. Recently, she shared a tweet that allegedly justifies locust attacks and floods in India by quoting a Quran verse. The tweet, however, read, “So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood: Signs openly self-explained: but they were steeped in arrogance- a people given to sin -Qur’an 7:133” But the controversial tweet received a lot of flak from the netizens which compelled her to delete the post soon after.
