Pakistani actress Sonya Hussyn has landed herself in hot waters after she posted a comment on Instagram.
The Aangan actress is all set to feature as the lead in the upcoming drama serial, Saraab, which is based on the story of a schizophrenic girl. In an attempt to promote the upcoming drama, she posted a poster listing down several different mental illnesses that can be a symptom of schizophrenia. The poster also had ‘autism’ on the list.
Many fans took to Twitter to call her out for making an ill-informed statement. Therefore, without further ado here’s what the Twitterati’s had to say about her statement:
Someone responded to this by saying that, maybe a two minute google search would’ve helped.
2 minutes google search helps. @ celebrities. pic.twitter.com/hwBmbXAIu2

One person made a generalised statement, implying that Pakistani actors seem just as clueless about different things.

Not that I expect our celebs to be bastions of knowledge but about time they read up on what they're representing through art rather than try to use a cause to their benefit. Actors in Hollywood take months to understand and get into character. https://t.co/Nw1jbJPh4t
