Jasmin Bhasin recently embarked on a vacation to Dubai and generously shared a plethora of photographs from her delightful trip. During her excursion, Jasmin also took the opportunity to visit the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, where she gracefully donned a teal green burqa.
Subsequently, Jasmin posted a reel on her Instagram, which unfortunately attracted some negative comments from certain netizens who chose to troll her for her choice of attire. However, amidst the criticism, there were also supporters who came to her defense.
Accompanying the post, Jasmin captioned it as “A garden of paradise,” expressing her appreciation for the serene surroundings.
One of her fans expressed their thoughts by writing, “Finally, Aly Goni made you wear a hijab… soon, we won’t even find you, sister, you’ll be inside the fridge.” Another individual commented, “Are you so ill-mannered that you couldn’t even respect the mosque by removing your shoes? Show some decency…” Additionally, someone else shared, “Madam… read Robert Spencer’s ‘Truth of MOMMAD’… Learn about the status of women there… Don’t act all high and mighty… Discover the truth and be grateful… There’s a video too… Take out 20 minutes and watch… Listen to the stories of Ayesha, Maria, Zanaib, Safiya…”
Despite the negative comments, Jasmin’s loyal fans rallied to support her. One person wrote, “I don’t understand why people are unnecessarily leaving negative comments. She is fully covered, can’t you accept that? She looks absolutely stunning in an abaya. What’s wrong with that?” Another individual commented, “Before people start commenting on her relationship, let me tell you that she visited Abu Dhabi and the mosque, and it is compulsory for everyone to wear an abaya there. So please, let’s not bring religion and conversion into this.”
In a similar vein, another user chimed in, saying, “Before everyone starts criticizing her choice of attire, let me inform you that even Avneet Kaur wore this type of dress when she was in Abu Dhabi. It’s a reflection of their culture, so let’s respect it.”

She did what she had to do and her dress is beautiful. However I can’t respect a culture which forces women to cover themselves. It’s disgusting! How can something like that exist in the 21st century?!
I was absolutely appalled to see Aamir khan’s film Manglal Pandey. I can’t respect a culture which forces women to being burnt alive with her dead husband in Sati ceremony (satidaha pratha).
Educate yourself first you sound ignorant. Don’t speak if you don’t know the facts it’s one thing to not understand, however making untruthful statements that’s L. Y’all be saying anything tho
Educate for what? You are implying this isn’t true? Enlighten us
Hey idiots. First, it’s Dubai’s rule to wear an abaya when you go to the mosque. Second, in Islam, it is a woman’s choice as to whether they wear a hijab/abaya. The difference here is plenty of cultures use Islam as an excuse to subjugate women. That’s why it seems like force. Learn the difference between culture and religion before y’all start speaking out of your asses
You have no right to call names and insult people for expressing their opinion! And yes, I know forcing women into concealment is a cultural, not religious thing! Uyghurs in China are muslims too. Do they force their women to cover themselves? No! They even wear short skirts and are not forced to be religious either. Some places just have 💩ty mentality, the Arab world among them. God couldn’t care less what you wear when you pray or whenever, it’s dumb and pathetic people that do it. And no mannerless Karen will stop me from speaking up the truth!
You are saying no one should judge you for your opinions but you are judging people for their religion and beliefs. 🤦🏾♀️ That doesn’t make any sense. Nonetheless, you have the right to say whatever you want and believe whatever justifies your own beliefs. But don’t be close minded 🥴 if you have questions there is google do a rq research before speaking to not sound like a 🤡
First of all, Google has become 💩 because people like you project their own beliefs presenting it as facts. Second, it doesn’t take a genius to see forcing someone to dress in a certain way is violation of human rights. Haven’t you heard of what’s happening in Iran? There are protests for a reason! Women in these cultures are shamed for their bodies and forced to cover themselves, how can you respect a person who doesn’t respect his own mother / sister / wife / daughter? You must be completely devoid of elemental intellect (which people tend to get on these places thanks to the wonderful ‘upbringing’ they receive since the moment they can walk) to think the person who has carried you for 9 months, faced the pain of your birth and the lack of sleep to make sure you are alive, as inferior to you or that she should be ashamed of the way she looks and hide herself from men
You know the Burqa only became a requirement by that c u Next Tuesday Ayatollah who decided he would take the place of god and tell people what to do I will f**king hang with pride if they got me for critiquing that giant pile of 💩 … I’m non religious… there is a greater power but I don’t need religion or a book written by a man using his own poor insights to connect to it… f**k the Saudi’s too, I see you and your human trafficking ways.
Everything is going fine here in the comments section down here except one thing.
What is the loss in expecting women to be all covered when men are also usually covered?
The whole point is clothes are worn to cover, not to expose.
One can definitely question religion or culture. No loss. But calling a religion names making ‘clothes point’ the basis of the discussion is surely wrong.
Before anyone gets judgemental. I am a Hindu. I am not very religious which is of course as a result of freedom given to me by Hinduism. Hinduism doesn’t force me to pray, to indulge in religious practices, to preach him. Hinduism says if you want to worship you can worship in any way. Even a Muslim, a Christian who is worshipping their respective God can worship our God too if they want, without even undergoing any conversion practices. Hinduism says when you worship a God, there is no need you need to classify him. You may classify him, if you wish. Even if you worship Allah, you can still be a Hindu is what Hinduism says. Infact Hinduism is actually so stupid that it allows even a Hindu to question his own religion i.e, Hinduism.
So what I mean is no religion can be more beautiful than Hinduism which is an unwritten statement. A religion which offers you the freedom to do whatever you wish to do, is the real cult.
I won’t even question any religion.
I will stay on my point that my religion is the best no matter I am not even religious like some Hindu people are.
Most importantly, a religion is important because of its culture. Not because of it’s principles.
Look at the sarees women in India wear. The festivities, the lights, the colours you get to see in India in mesmerizing. The culture in whole is something we as Hindus can’t sacrifice even in our wildest dreams…
Infact for me, religion is important because of this culture.
Infact anyone can answer me. Which religion has the highest conversion rates? I will answer myself. Of course Hinduism. This is the religion which has negligible restrictions which is the fact why religious conversions happen the most in Hinduism.
No – one is discussion religion here! Religion has nothing to do with clothes! The role of the clothes is to protect you from harmful weather, not to hide you from prying eyes!!! No, men are not forced to cover themselves from head to toe like women are, who can’t even show their faces in extreme places! Also, you need exposure to the sun to get vitamin D, otherwise you may get illnesses such as diabetes! That’s why people go to the beach almost naked, and in normal countries wear very little clothes when the weather is hot! What disgusting creature started associated body with s*xuality?! I wanna find him and haunt him till he reverses the mess he created! In many part of the worlds, not even in the west, people walk almost naked. In Japanese culture the naked body is a symbol of purity. Even in India and in Europe the beauty of the human body was praised and immortalised in art in the past, before some psycho inverted the meaning through his twisted fantasies
Why is such a big issue being made about a dress code. There are certain places in western countries where it states “shirt and shoes required” No one makes a big deal about it because they know that to enter there a certain dress code is required. Similarly the mosque has it’s own dress code and obviously she had no problem wearing the burqa as she wanted to visit the mosque. Don’t want to wear the burqa…don’t visit the mosque…see you have an option…simple!! Problem solved
Personally, I have problem with the dress code of the west as well (depends on the situation). For examples, women are compelled to wear a bra. I don’t wear it because it makes me uncomfortable and hot and is also s*xist. What we were referring to was not the mosque dress code though, it was the dress code for women in general everyday life! If you wear something ‘revealing’ you will get scolded at best, and your family shamed. At some places you will also get rated and / or killed. Is that normal? I have heard of women losing their eyesight because of being forced to wear purdah! Scarfs and dresses, even those which don’t leave much of you to be seen are beautiful, but you shouldn’t be forced to wear them everyday or restricted from certain activities such as sunbathing, because of people’s views of how a woman should be dressed. The cultures of which I am speaking of are not just toxic in terms of clothing, but of general behaviour as well. They do not allow for normal interactions between a man and a woman, they keep them apart, like we are some sort of mice that will make 1000 babies the second they see each other. In Abu Dhabi for instance, you can get arrested for kissing!
The whole argument arose because of her wearing the burqa to the mosque. Don’t know which western country you’re referring to regarding having to wear a bra, I’ve lived in 3 different ones and never heard of any such rule 🤷🏻♀️
It isn’t a written rule, it’s more like a default mode. My mother and grandmother tried to teach me to wear a bra ‘because my br*asts would droop’ and my mum’s friend, some of my classmates and uncle told me I should start wearing it but I never learned to and am doing perfectly fine. Thankfully my country’s culture is to mind your own business so I don’t face problems in life
Oh ok got it. So you weren’t being compelled by the norms of the west but rather your family and friends. Well it’s good that you and I both live in places where people don’t interfere
Not my friends. My classmates. And my family were doing it precisely because society has enforced it as a norm. If you look up some articles on Google about body development stages you will see ‘at this age girls need their first bra’. No we don’t ‘need’ it! It’s disgusting! I’m imagining the situation is similar in countries where it is no compulsory to wear hijab and / or abaya but it pretty much has become the norm because almost everyone does it. The difference is in such places people tend to care about what others think of them and how to preserve their family’s ‘reputation’. It’s because such cultures tend to favour the societal unit the person belongs to, not the person. Which thankfully isn’t the situation where I live
