Dhallywood actress Puja Cherry has addressed widespread rumors claiming she has joined the Central Executive Council of Islami Chhatra Shibir, specifically as the Legal and Human Rights Secretary of its non-Muslim women’s wing. The news, which spread across social media and other platforms, prompted the actress to issue a statement clarifying her stance.

On Tuesday evening (December 10), Puja Cherry took to her verified Facebook page to deny the allegations. In her statement, she expressed disbelief over how such baseless rumors were created and spread. “I usually don’t pay attention to rumors as it is common for celebrities to face such things. People are often curious about media personalities. However, the kind of rumor being spread today is beyond tolerable. This is not just a baseless story; it involves sensitive religious matters and is an insult to all faiths. Such actions should not happen,” Puja wrote.

The actress further stated that the false claims do not only affect her but also have broader implications. She explained that when such unfounded stories involve topics like religion, they create unnecessary division and misunderstanding in society. She emphasized the importance of responsibility while discussing or spreading information that could potentially harm social harmony.

Commitment to Her Profession

Puja reiterated her dedication to her acting career and expressed frustration over being linked to something entirely unrelated to her field. “I am an actress, and I love Bangladeshi cinema. This is my profession, and I respect and enjoy it wholeheartedly. I have no association with any political profession or organization,” she clarified.

The actress’s statement highlights her disconnection from any political activities or affiliations, reaffirming her focus on her role in the film industry. She also urged people to refrain from spreading misinformation that could harm not only her reputation but also disrupt societal peace.

Social Media’s Role in Spreading Misinformation

This incident sheds light on the growing issue of misinformation and its rapid spread through social media. Public figures, like Puja Cherry, often find themselves at the center of fabricated stories that can impact their personal and professional lives. In this case, the rumor extended beyond the realm of personal attacks, touching upon sensitive matters of religion and societal harmony.

Puja Cherry’s denial of the claims and her call for responsible behavior serve as a reminder of the need for accuracy and ethics in sharing information. The actress expressed hope that such baseless rumors will be discouraged in the future, allowing public figures to focus on their respective careers without unwarranted distractions.

The rumor has sparked a broader conversation about the ethics of social media use, emphasizing the importance of verifying information before sharing it. While Puja Cherry has successfully addressed the false allegations, the incident underscores the challenges faced by public figures in combating misinformation in the digital age.
