Zayn Malik gets flak over Halloween post, keeping mum about Palestine
Singer-actor Zayn Malik shared a picture of himself dressing as an iconic Harry Potter character and got criticised by Internet users. The Pillow Talk hitmaker was unrecognisable as he transformed into Lord Voldemort from J.K. Rowling’s best-selling Harry Potter novels. The 30-year-old wore a bald prosthetic head featuring Voldemort’s snake-like nose as well as the character’s signature black gown. ‘Happy Halloween,’ he captioned the post. Fans, however, slammed the singer, who is of Pakistani descent, for staying silent on the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict as Israel continues its attack on Gaza strip. “Sir people are dying in Palestine this is what you’re posting,” one said in the comments section. Some others echoed the sentiment by commenting: “Free Palestine.” On the other hands, some fans praised Zayn for nailing the Voldemort costume. (IANS)
