Dawoodi bohra portrayal on Netflix drama SHE
The issue
Hi everyone,
I was watching a series on ‘Netflix’ called ‘She’ in the 1st episode of Season 2.
And I was surprised to see some ladies in Rida in a scene, soon after they show a man called ‘Ismail’ who is dressed in Saya Kurta and topi and is portrayed as the owner of a prostitution cartel. He is then interrogated by the police all while wearing our quami Libas.
This scene portrays Dawoodi Bohra’s very poorly and damages our reputation as a community.
This petition is to:
- Have Netflix remove this scene from the show
- Ensure that the makers of the show provide a public apology on the wrong portrayal and defamation of our community.
Please sign this petition and also forward to all your Bohra family and friends so more voices are united in this and we can demand the change.
