Taking an active stance on X (formerly Twitter), Ushna Shah clarifies her position while remaining vocal about Palestine. The star recently shared a list of Hollywood stars to boycott, urging followers to unfollow, avoid supporting their work, and spread the word for a collective impact. "Today, begin your celeb boycott. Start with Hollywood stars... You are their power, take it away & spread the word," stated the star.
Nevertheless, a user on the platform previously known as Twitter countered her thread, alleging that she had befriended someone accused of domestic violence. The X user stated, "Dude, you literally befriended a wife-beater. Look around and start with your own country first." Ushna has since addressed this claim in a comprehensive post on the microblogging website.

"I hate to address anything except Palestine. I apologize for responding to another distraction. People don’t know that Feroze and I had a falling out before finishing our drama shoot; we even unfollowed each other, which is the modern-day equivalent of a 'friendship end announcement,' shared Ushna. "This happened long before his scandal. His scandal came after our shoot ended; at this time, we were not in touch. Yes, months after publicly sending love to his wife, I asked people to stop the severe online bullying of him and his family, especially during Ramzan."
She continued, "Having experienced trolling myself, I understand its impact on families and was particularly sensitive to this issue at the time, as some may recall. This isn't the first instance where I've faced trouble for defending someone who has hurt, disrespected me, or held beliefs opposite to mine; the irony hasn't gone unnoticed. Now, calling for a boycott against celebrities who have written to Biden publicly opposing a ceasefire in bombing children is a different matter, in my opinion. I don’t think the two should be mutually exclusive."
Continuing on, she said, "Also, for those upset by my post criticizing pseudo-liberals (focus on the word pseudo) who back movements like LGBTQ and BLM but stay quiet on this issue: focus your anger on those who are exploiting these movements, not me for calling them out. They exist! Many people whose jobs depend on multinational or foreign connections, stay silent on their social media about this issue but have been aggressively loud on others. I can imagine that being constantly triggered must be exhausting, it is also counterproductive to the real issues at hand, such as the genocide we are witnessing."
Concluding her message, she advised, "I would suggest not to be triggered by things unnecessarily. I understand that if you've chosen to believe a fixed perception, nothing will change your mind. My responses distract my followers from what's currently important. So I urge you, for now, let anyone speaking for Palestine, even those you dislike, do so in peace."
