In a sharp rebuttal to online vitriol, actress Daisy Shah has addressed a troll who attempted to link her attendance at an Iftar party to a past incident involving fire safety. The controversy began on Sunday, March 8, 2026, when a video of Daisy cooking Malpuas at a community gathering went viral, prompting a comparison to her recent complaints regarding firecrackers in her neighborhood.
The actress made it clear that public safety hazards and religious celebrations are mutually exclusive, stating, “Good luck with spreading hate in the name of religion.”
The Controversy: Cooking vs. Crackers
- The “Fire” Incident: A few months ago, Daisy Shah had publicly slammed political workers for bursting crackers near her residence during BMC election campaigning, citing a fire hazard and noise pollution.
- The Troll’s Claim: A netizen on X (formerly Twitter) attempted to point out a “double standard,” writing: “She has a problem with firecrackers but visits Iftaar parties and cooks there as well.”
- Daisy’s Reply: The actress responded directly to the tweet: “Fire Crackers and cooking food are completely different from each other… I hope you get well soon.”
Public & Social Media Reaction
The exchange sparked a heated debate on social media, with fans and critics weighing in:
- Support: Many users defended the actress, noting that cooking for a celebration is a “private act of warmth” while unauthorized crackers in residential areas pose a “public hazard.”
- Cynicism: Some detractors claimed her attendance was an attempt to stay in the good graces of the “Khan-daan” (referencing Salman Khan) for future film roles.
- Context: This incident follows Daisy’s recent update on Salim Khan’s health, where she confirmed that the veteran writer is recovering well after a successful surgery.
Work Front
Daisy was recently seen in the January 2026 release Bihu Attack alongside Arbaaz Khan. She is currently preparing for her digital debut in the upcoming web series The Ghost of Gandhi, the release date for which is expected to be announced soon.
