Nitish Kumar Hijab Controversy: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is in the news these days and the reason for this is his viral video. Yesterday, a video of Nitish Kumar surfaced, in which he is seen removing the hijab of a woman. This video of his started going viral rapidly on social media and people started giving all kinds of reactions. Meanwhile, Dangal fame Zaira Wamis's reaction has come forward. Zaira has demanded an apology from Nitish Kumar on social media platform X.
Yesterday, during a program, Nitish Kumar called a female doctor to give her an appointment letter and then suddenly pulled down the woman's hijab with his hands. People started raising questions on this video of Nitish Kumar. Actress Zaira Wasim also reacted on this matter and said that this is a sheer insult and Nitish Kumar should apologize.
Zaira Wasim posted on her
A woman's dignity and modesty are not props to toy with. Least of all on a public stage. As a Muslim woman, watching another woman's niqab being pulled at so casually, accompanied by that nonchalant smile, was so infuriating.
Power does not grant permission to violate

Expressing her displeasure, Zaira Wasim further wrote that power does not allow breaking the boundaries. Nitish Kumar should apologize unconditionally to that woman. Zaira Wasim says that a woman's honor is not a toy with which one can play or make fun of on a public platform.
Talking about Zaira Wasim's film career, she had distanced herself from acting in 2019. Even though Zaira is no longer a part of films, she still remains in the news for her opinion on social issues.
