The problem people had with the actress was that she being a Muslim can't be posing with a liquor bottle as their religion forbids it and she got trolled for the same.

Some called her "a shame to Muslims", others labelled her as the reason why Muslims have a tarnished reputation, and others naturally went on just insulting her.
