Bigg Boss fame Mandana Karimi has appeared in various bollywood movies. She has been leaving India and is quite popular in India. At present time protest is going in Iran. Now Mandana Karimi opens up on these trends.

The actress said, “I left Iran with a heavy heart years ago, when I was almost 19, alone, without knowing any other language besides Farsi without my family’s support, and without much money in my pocket. You could say, ‘Wow, brave girl? What was going on in your head? Why would anyone leave their family, their country, to come out”

She further said, “The answer is that I didn’t have any answers. All I knew was – I don’t want to live in this place – where I can’t breathe, where I have to think twice before stepping out, think twice about who I’m hanging out with, what I can study, what I should wear to not get arrested by the morality police. I’ve lost count of how many times I was stopped by them, I got arrested and spent all my money to pay them to let me go. Once, I spent two nights in a police cell, watching my friends being punished by lashes. Some incidents I’ve forgotten since I moved out. But then, I am still Iranian, I still have friends and family back home.”

Speaking about the protest, “ I think this is a fight for human rights and women’s equality. We are asking for our right to wear what we want and not get abused or killed. This is not about the hijab or Islam. This is about our rights as women. Whether we want to wear a scarf or not should be our choice, not anyone else’s."

A protest is going on Iran. Women in Iran have been publicly chopping off their hair and burning their hijabs to protest against the country's draconian laws. People are chanting 'Death to the Dictator', calling for the end of the three-decade rule of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader. The Iranian government has dismissed the protest as a 'foreign plot' rather than the expression of public outrage over Mahsa Amini's death.
