TAB 190822 Kangana Ranaut-1566460315832 — At one end of the spectrum we have Kangana Ranaut in Bollywood, a crusader of sorts who doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind if recent events are anything to go by. As her fiery tirade continues, calling out industry bigwigs to hold accountable for Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide, Pakistan’s entertainment industry finds itself shook up as well with the candidness of Ushna Shah.

The 30-year-old actress is often compared to Ranaut and for all the right reasons. Having arrived on the Pakistan entertainment arena in 2013 with ‘Mere Khwabon Ka Diya’, Shah tasted success a year later with the thriller ‘Bashar Momin’ (pictured). Her versatility as an actor was further explored in shows such as ‘Duaa’, ‘Neelam Kinaray’ and ‘Thoda Sa Aasman’. Image Credit: Supplied

Ushna Shah — But Shah hasn’t limited her talents to on-screen dramas alone. Similar to Ranaut’s fiery temperament, Shah has also used media as her tool of choice to cut down critics and trolls in the recent past. In one of her most recent interviews with Iffat Omar, she spoke up on how she has decided to not respond to trolls or clarify her stance on everything, saying: “I have forsaken the dignity a celebrity must maintain and clarified/responded to each tweet/thought that has bothered the world so much. I’ve answered all the burning questions that have propelled hundreds of headlines. From your pizzas to your singers. I will speak on these no further. I have answered all “controversies” for them now and for the future.” Image Credit: Instagram.com/ushnashah
