Teen Bollywood actress Zaira Wasim, who played the role of young Geeta Phogat in blockbuster 'Dangal', seems to be getting embroiled in controversies quite regularly.
The 16-year-old who was ealier targetted on social media over her meeting with J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti and having to issue a public apology on her Facebook account, has now herself taken on Sports Minister Vijay Goel on micro blogging site.
The Kashmiri teen actor Zaira took objection to the Union Sports Minister comparing her with a painting of a woman in hijab and another caged.
This prompted the 'Dangal' star to rebuff the BJP leader for 'discourteous depiction' and a wrong comparison.
Sports Minister Vijay Goel
"This painting tells a story similar to Zaira Wasim," Goel wrote on Twitter and also posted the picture of a woman wearing a black hijab covering her face and another nude woman in the foreground in a birdcage.
"Our daughters are breaking the cages to pursue education. More power to our daughters," he wrote and tagged the Kashmiri teenage star.
Zaira then ridiculed Goel's comparison and said the painting was not even remotely relevant to her.
Goel backed down and tried to explain his tweet and insisted that it wasn't his intention to hurt her, and that she had misunderstood what he was saying.
