Bollywood actor Ali Fazal shut down a user calling him out for performing pilgrimage and visiting Makkah and Madina at the end of his shoot in Saudi Arabia. Recently, Fazal had posted his pictures of performing Umrah and visiting the two Holy sites of Islam in Saudi Arabia.
He was seen standing with a face mask on in the Grand Mosque of Makkah. “To Medina and then Mecca! What a way to end my shoot! I am truly blessed I think in many ways. I like to think at least. This one was for Amma and Nana. Their loss will never heal me .. maybe healing isn’t the answer. Seeking is. We’ll find out. But I prayed n I prayed for all those around me. Family, friends, and all the people in need of love. There are just too many,” he began in a lengthy Instagram post.
