Yeh Hai Mohabbatein Actress Shireen Mirza is Highly Disappointed With House Hunting in Mumbai, Here's Why
She ended her post with an open question that says, ‘With a heavy heart and after many refusals my question is Do I belong to this city ??’
Yeh Hai Mohabbatein fame Shireen Mirza aka Simi is stressed out because of house hunting in Mumbai. We all know that the actors enter Mumbai-the city of dreams to make it big on the silver screen. However, there have been many instances where the single struggling stars have to hunt for a proper accommodation sans family. But here, we are talking about Shireen, the girl who has been here for 8 years and is pretty popular with her character in the Ekta Kapoor’s serial. She revealed how she is still facing issues to find a place to stay in Mumbai just because she is mba - muslim, bachelor, actor.
In a long post on Facebook, the TV star shared her experience of how she is finding it difficult to find a proper residence for girls like her who arrive to Mumbai, the supposed cosmopolitan city, to fulfill their dreams.
An excerpt from her social media post reads, “ Firstly, Yes I'm an Actor and I do not Smoke or drink and I have no criminal records. So, How can they judge my character on the basis of my profession?? Second, I'm a bachelor and when I call brokers they ask me higher rents for the flats which are available saying Pay extra or u won't get it since ur a Bachelor. My question is nuisance can be created by families too??? Third, I called up another person and they ask me wether I am a Hindu or a Muslim and reverted back with an answer that Muslims are not preferred. They also mentioned that take the flat on ur friend's name who's not a Muslim. I mean what's in a name??? There's no difference in the blood.”
She ended her post with an open question that says, ‘With a heavy heart and after many refusals my question is Do I belong to this city ??’ This is not the first time that the actresses had to face house hunting problem. Earlier too, Munna Michael actress Nidhhi Agerwal had to face a similar situation.
