Forgive me for what I wore and trying to protect what was meant to be mine: Ushna Shah.

Actor Ushna Shah got married last weekend to her beau, an Austrian golfer, Hamza Amin and while her big day was beautiful, it was interrupted by a few uninvited guests who ruined the memory for her. Shah earlier called out a blogger for bringing a plus one, a photographer who brought a drone when the invite was only for the former. However, she has now issued an apology because she truly wanted to 'move on' from the chaos.

Shah also announced that she will be taking a break from social media for a few days since the negative comments have affected her mental health deeply and made her question her profession.

"I haven't reacted to online trolling for years, but I am a human being at a very vulnerable time of my life; a new bride in a new home," she wrote on Instagram.

Talking about how the breach of privacy made her upset, she added, "From hiring photography teams who signed NDAs to hiring security and strict guest lists at the door, I wanted to protect our union and only share what I was comfortable with. I worked very hard to make this time private. Several people invaded that privacy to exploit our happy occasion, including disrupting our Nikkah. As any bride would be, I was mortified, only a million times."

Shah asserted that she didn't have any intention to "offend our culture" and let people down. "I have read many of the comments. They don't seem to stop. Please believe that I did not get married to offend our culture, that wasn't the intention and if that is what people feel I have done, then I apologise for letting anyone down. I'm going to sign off from this platform for a few days, for the sake of my mental health and to spend this precious time with my wonderful husband and my new family, who are a blessing," she wrote adding that this incident has made her question whether she's "cut for this job" or not.

The Habs actor, who got 'mercilessly trolled and bullied' for the shade of red she wore, the kind of dress and the makeup, said that it wasn't right of her to direct hatred towards the said blogger, even if what he did was wrong, because that's not how she was raised.
