An actress has sparked anger in India after she posted pictures of herself wearing a bikini while on holiday. Sara Khan, 29, who is Muslim, put pictures online during a holiday to Goa and Dubai, including one that she captioned ‘haters are confused admirers.’

But some people said they did not like what she was wearing and that she was not a true Muslim adding that she is ‘not a white girl’.

Khan has not yet responded to the criticism, some of which claim she has forgotten that she is Muslim, reports the Metro.

However, previously she has said: ‘We respect each one of you. We respect your thoughts, we respect what you feel but you guys should respect us too. We don’t do any wrong purposely.’ One person wrote ‘I think you forget you are Muslim. You change your religious because in Islamic relious.. These dress can not allowed.’

A second added: ‘U are Muslim fear Allah. She mite as well sell her body for doin this disgustin pics sharam Kar ur Muslim not white girl.’

While a third responded: ‘Change your religion do what ever then shame on u Sara you was my inspiration but now I hate you Allah will give you punishment for this shame on you.’ Khan was previously on India’s version of Big Brother – Bigg Boss – and she got married to another TV actor on the show before divorcing two months later.

She has worked as a model and rose to fame on Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai, a soap opera in which she was one of the main characters.
