Telugu actor Faria Abdullah posted an emotional video on August 16 responding to online backlash regarding her participation in Hyderabad's Bonalu festival on August 10.
Critics targeted the actor for attending the Hindu festivities at the Sri Mahankaleshwara Ammavari Temple due to her Muslim background, with some labeling her a 'kafir'.
Abdullah, who starred in Kalki 2898 AD, defended her actions by citing her multicultural upbringing and her father's conversion to Islam, advocating for unity and peace.
