"You need to get yourself checked."
Nora Fatehi has recently defended her stance on global peace following a wave of online criticism and trolling.
The actress addressed the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran through a series of emotional video messages.
She shared her thoughts during the festive occasion of Holi while also reflecting on her personal time of fasting.
The famous actress who starred in Street Dancer 3D has always been vocal about issues that impact humanity.
Nora feels that social media has negatively impacted the ability of many people to understand complex global issues properly.
“I think a lot of people have lost touch with the ability to have comprehension skills and listening skills.
“That’s something we used to learn in school, comprehension skills, critical thinking skills, reading abilities, and being able to just listen.
“I think a lot of people have skipped that stage in life, especially now with social media and phones…
“We haven’t been able to push our brains to that level of understanding things. But I do maintain my stance on world peace and unity.”
The star emphasised that she was speaking for everyone when she voiced her concerns about the current world chaos.
Nora believes that our society is currently very tired of seeing one major world event follow after another today.
“After I posted my video about how tired we are as a society with one chaos after another, one major world event after another, I was speaking for everybody.
“So if it bothers you, irritates you or triggers you, you need to get yourself checked.”
She noted that many people have skipped the stage of learning how to listen to others in a respectful way.
Nora mentioned that every single person and every country is an integral part of the larger world we inhabit..
The actress claimed that she will never be intimidated by those who choose to spread hate and social division.
She reiterated her commitment to advocating for unity and harmony regardless of the backlash she receives from online trolls.
The star wants her platform to be a place where people can find a sense of shared human connection.
“While I’m reflecting today, I’ve just said my prayers and I’m about to break my fast, I’m sitting here thinking about how we live in a world where people get upset or angry if you speak about world peace. That’s scary.
“I will forever advocate for world peace and unity. Nothing can intimidate me.”
Many followers have praised her for having the courage to speak up about such sensitive and important global matters.
Others however, felt that a celebrity should not be weighing in on complex geopolitical issues like the US-Iran conflict.
Fans were initially worried about her safety due to the rising tensions currently affecting many regions in the Middle East.
Nora Fatehi clarified that she is currently safe in India rather than being in Dubai, as some had speculated.
