Bangladesh starlet apologises after 'atheist' comments [View all]
https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/459247-bangladesh-starlet-apologises-after-atheist-commentsA Bangladeshi actress has been forced to apologise after remarks construed as admitting atheism in a country where people have been murdered for renouncing religion.
Safa Kabir, an actress and model who has appeared in top Bangladeshi television dramas, told a private radio station this week she did not believe in the afterlife.
"I don´t believe in life after death. Actually, I never believe in what I can´t see," she said, in comments that some took as a rejection of Muslim beliefs in heaven and hell.
The remarks caused a storm on social media, with footage of the interview going viral, and Kabir faced a torrent of criticism in the conservative Muslim country.
